Nothing at all we didn’t like. It’s worth noting that the bathrooms are shared but as long as you know that beforehand, it’s all good.

Lovely traditional Icelandic property. It feels like living a bit of history. Flateyri is such a beautiful place and the old bookstore so iconic that it was a privilege to stay here. Super comfortable bed and a very helpful and responsive host. We loved it!

The house is old...we loved the idea staying in a house built in 1889, but the walls are thin.

It was self service breakfast - the fridge was stocked with styr, cheese, ham, jam and breads. Fabulous spread and we enjoyed the flexibility to have all these good things in the fridge.

Fascinating B&B in the picturesque and welcoming town of Flateyri! Spent extra time just taking in all the little details of the room, kitchen, and sitting area -- it is like a time capsule of life in the Westfjords 50+ years ago. We enjoyed chatting with Eyðor the following morning and perusing the bookstore, and I would recommend this stay for anyone visiting Flateyri.

This place is adorable and the proprietor is very proud of his family's heritage here and he'll tell you all about it if you visit him in the book store downstairs. And you should because it's a really cool shop.

Nothing I can think of. Just be mindful that in the winter, nothing is open after 6 o’clock. Having said that, it’s only a 15 minute drive to Ísafjörður if you need a restaurant, supermarket, petrol et cetera.

A very quaint and sensitively restored property housing the oldest continuously operating bookshop in Iceland with a suite of three rooms above sharing breakfast and bathroom facilities. Stuffed with antiques and a completely authentic 1960s or maybe 50s kitchen. The refrigerator is loaded with excellent quality breakfast goodies that you can help yourself to. The staff are simply wonderful. You must visit the bookshop on your visit, it is one of the most stylish and thoughtful shops in Iceland, possibly Europe.

Couldn't have asked for a better stay!

The house itself is so charming and well kept-- not to mentioned how incredible the shop downstairs is. The town is remote but not a far drive from the busier Ísafjörður. Still, you cannot beat the views here. The staff was so incredibly welcoming -- and touches like the chocolate in the room, the well-stocked kitchen, the comfortable common areas, made for such a nice stay.

Unique accommodation with a lot of charm. Reminded me a lot of my grandmother's flat. Self-catering breakfast with a good selection. Rooms and beds were comfortable. The village is also charming. Definitely the better choice to sleep here rather than in overcrowded Isafjordur.

Nothing.

What a dream place, the decoration is perfectly curated. It felt as we travelled in time. The owner was a fantastic person and deserves congratulations for such special hotel.

The owners made me feel welcome, it had a lot of character, the location was great and the view was amazing.

Breakfast was very poor, only 1 sort of bread, the marmalade out of little cups.

The authenticity of the house. You feel that you go back in to the 1950.

We found it nice to call the owner for check-in as it matched the antique style of the house. However, some might get information on chek-in beforehand.

This is a hidden gem in heart of Flateyri. We spent there a romantic New Years Eve and we were more than amazed by this beautful experience. It is a family run bookstore/accommodation business for decades with nicely preserved antique interior. Host gave us a quick tour in the building. Kitchen was full of kitchenware, spices, sweets and food for breakfast. Lots of books, boardgames, guitar to play and so on. This is one of 2 best places in Vestfirdir for a romantic stay.

There is nothing i did not like.

This is a place with "soul". You can recognize right away how much love for details and work the owners put into it. It is just so cosy that you do not want to leave again. We also got a very warm welcome from Ágústa, who was so helpful. I can highly recommend this place.

It is an old house, and you share the living room, kitchen, dining room and bathroom. The furniture is antique and very lovely. Everything is available for breakfast in the vintage fridge !

Very welcoming hosts. A really lovely, family run, guest house situated in the historic family home. Great breakfast, extremely comfortable bed. Nice touches such as hand made chocolates and information on the history of the room.
