Decor needs an uplift, especially upstairs. Feels like neglect and cost saving not respect for character of old building. Shared facilities need updating. Stained carpet and lack of decorative touches. Good location and free parking in streets around. Good breakfast at hotel.

The most annoying feature was arriving at the address of the guest house and finding a note advising us that the location for check-in was about a 7-minute walk away. Not knowing the town, the directions weren't clear, but Google maps saved us. Other than that, it was a good experience. It was clean, quiet and conveniently located.

This guesthouse will bring you back into another timeline. There are so many interesting history pictures and pieces on the walls, it’s really neat to see. It’s a lovely old building that reminds me of anyone’s grandparents house. With it being older though, it’s a little outdated and not in the greatest shape. The carpets are quite dirty and stained but we had no problem wearing socks and just looking past it. The shower and bathrooms are quite small. There are plenty of common areas and places to hang out.

Unclean and dirty. Floors covered in stains. Strong smell of mold in bedrooms. My partner and I were unable to stay here due to the health concerns with the mold, especially as one of us is asthmatic. Hotel staff at the nearby remote check in desk were friendly and accommodating, and did facilitate moving us to a new location for the night. I unfortunately cannot recommend this particular guesthouse, however the other affiliated hotels are fine.

It’s in a good location downtown, but you have to walk a few blocks from the main hotel where you check in and have breakfast. Nice breakfast though. There’s no staff on site. Street parking is a little tricky—we got lucky

Sweet and Simple

It was old fashioned and quite sweet. It was reasonably comfortable but the fact that it is managed by a larger hotel takes away a bit of the charm. Having said that, the breakfast, which was served in the hotel, was really quite nice.

Mitigé

Grande chambre mais dans une bâtisse ancienne très mal insonorisée. Lit qui a bien vécu, manque de confort. Le petit déjeuner est très varié mais pas sur place (dans un hôtel à 5min à pied). Si je devais retourner à Isafjordur j’irais plutôt à l’hôtel directement.

Good basic accommodations on Ísafjörður

Guesthouse made from former hospital building in old part of town. Room was large, and good facilities (kitchen, eating area, game table, bathrooms) in rest of guesthouse. Beds were comfortable, but looked like dorm room beds. Good breakfast provided in main hotel building two small blocks away.

Basic lodging in Isafjordur

Basic lodging in a guest house with shared bathrooms. The room had a sink. Our only gripes were with the ancient, tattered towels provided and the free breakfast at the nearby hotel (which was massively overcrowded with subpar food).

Cute stay. I liked that there was no time limit for check in. The dirt roads took us a lot longer than we’d thought and longer than google maps told us because we went slower than the speed limit so it was nice to not feel super rushed getting there and we were still able to fit in the few things we wanted to do on the way.
