Read fine print about extra fee for doona - not excessive but missed in our booking

Very central to town, warm, clean, large common area - we were only ones staying there so very peaceful and quiet!

Stayed in February 2025

Everything was generally good overall. There is the usual noise/disturbance from other guests staying up late and talking loudly, but you can just go tell them to shut up after a certain time. The bathroom water taps do not fully close, so beware you can hear trickling water all night, so just go out and close them properly.

Checking in way smooth and easy. Hostel was clean and quiet. When I stayed, there were very few guests there. The kitchen was well equipped, dining area was spacious. There was also a rack for us to share/donate extra food so it did not go to waste, which was an excellent idea.

Pick up of keys 500m away. You need your own sleeping bag.

Clean, roomy, and warm.

Location

Stayed in September 2024

You need to walk 5-10 min to the hotel to check in - there are no sheets included in thr price. I used my sleeping bag woth to avoid this fee, so it was not a big problem for me. - bathrooms can be buzy because there are only 2 of them.

Very nice personnel at the check in + Location is good + Everything was clean + There is a common room with couches + Kitchen facilities were clean, too

Warm. Great kitchen. Perfect location

Small room, nothing in the room except two beds - not even a chair or small bed table. Room directly facing the street - so we got noice from street and had to keep the curtains down even during day time.

Central location in Isafjordur. Shared facilities were spacious and ok.

Stayed in July 2024

Had to chase up reception and the keys at another location Isafjordur Hotel.

Comfortable beds. Warm and cozy.

A minor inconvenience was that you needed to leave the building and link up at the hotel to speak with staff. I still think it worked well.

Location was ideal, the amenities excellent.

Stayed in June 2024

There is very little to no sound proofing, so as some guests next door were being loud, we couldnt help but be woken up by it.

The location was great and we were comfortable in our twin room. Staff at the hotel check in were super nice and helpful.

What is the tv for when theres no channels?

Stayed in September 2023

everything as expected; It would have been good to have a clothes horse or sth similar to dry the wet and dirty clothes. Maybe there is, and I couldn't find it?

24/7 reception at Ísafjörður Hotel, check-in/check-out very easy, very friendly and helpful staff, well-equipped kitchen, stable WiFi, 2 bathrooms, 2 out of 3 nights I had the room for myself as they didn't place guests together as long as there were free beds. As the other guests were hikers, too, there were no issues with noise, etc. As with other isolated places with great nature, you'll meet many interesting people. Ísafjörður is rather a sleepy town, but nicely located and perfect to come to rest and to experience authentic Iceland. The surroundings are very exciting and apt for loads of outdoor activities. Especially Hornstrandir is very wild and untamed. Greenland feels close, too (2 days on a sailing boat).

First time staying in a hostel... So I don't know what is normal. But, zero quality. Stove top needs BETTER operating instructions.

Very good location because you could walk to restaurants, gas station and shopping. Plus it had a lovely view

Too few bathrooms

Stayed in August 2023

Our room was too small for 4 people (2 bunk beds), it was extremely warm and stuffy, especially in the night with the room door closed. You can only open a tiny window, which lets barely any fresh air in.

Room and shared facilities were clean and looked newly renovated.

Stayed in August 2023

Small double room, nice and clean common area and kitchen. Recommended

Wasn’t that easy to find out where to check in. Initially was told we could check in early but that was not the case. No problem as the town is adorable and plenty to do.

Great location and clean bathrooms. Expensive like all of Iceland but less expensive than a hotel.

pretty good

I didn’t notice anything that needed improvement.

I really liked the location of the property, as well as the way the living area was set up. It allowed for a sense of community.

(1) The cracked window glass in Room 2 was allocated to us. For safety issues we rejected it and was given another room without question. (2) the duplicate key to the main door had difficulties opening. This was fixed immediately by the staff.

Within walking distance to restaurants, cafes and supermarkets.

Stayed in June 2023

It is absolutely not clearly indicated on booking that there are no bed linnen. So I end up paying 162% of what was indicated. That is insane en not quite fair.

Overall very good. Only one big complaint.
