It was a pity the shower on our floor wasn't working but then the trip to the basement was easy and the area wasn't busy. The rooms slope so it was hard to move around the bed on one side without bumping your head.

There was a great chef on site. The fish stew for lunch was great! The night dinner was exceptional. The walks around the island were great and we saw some fishermen preparing cod. The sunset was exceptional ! All the staff were very professional and helpful.

There was nothing really negative I could say about this place, we would return again.

Flatey Island is one of those places you visit once in a lifetime, if you're lucky. We had the opportunity to visit and we're not dissappointed. The only hotel on the island has a beautiful old world charm to it and the decorating is fitting- as you feel somewhat you are back in time many decades. Upon arriving to the Island hotel staff will greet you to give you directions or even a ride to the hotel (it is about a 10-15 min walk from where the ferry docks). The hallways and rooms are nicely decorated and upkept. The staff called us earlier the same day before our arrival to confirm the number in our party and to be sure they could accommodate our needs. They were very friendly and welcoming upon our arrival. We enjoyed a nice dinner in the restaurant and the included breakfast the next morning exceeded our expectations.

Nothing, all perfect.

Exceptional place. Athmospheric building, very helpful staff, wonderful island. Very rich breakfast. On top, perfect for birdwatching, with Snow Buntings, Red-necked Pharalopes and other specialities just around the hotel.

A beautiful place where you can feel the power of isolation and see amazing birds, including Puffins.

The single room was TINY with barely room for bed and small table, much smaller than any single I have stayed in. Tiny window but couldn’t really see out unless I was sitting on the floor. I wouldn’t have minded except that there is no sitting area in the hotel other than the dining room our outside on terrace. Temperatures were pretty cool so not conducive for long time spent sitting outdoors. I would love to return sometime but would request a double room if I was traveling solo to have more space. But overall an incredible island and the birdwatching was excellent.

Amazing location on the water on Flatey Island. Sweet building with nice views, incredible food and courteous staff.

As the bulding is old sound travels easily between rooms

Good breakfast and excellent dinner in the hotel restaurant

Pretty pricey but then everything has to come in by ferry.

The hotel is wonderful on this nature paradise island. You won’t have city amenities but the rooms are light and airy and the location is the big seller here, as you’re surrounded by fearless birds and country living Icelanders. A real retreat. The meals produced by the chef would not be out of place in a top notch city centre high class restaurant

The beds were too soft, our sleep wasn't very relaxing. Didn't enjoy the beds. The communication with the hotel and the Ferry ppl about the ferry transportation in May - pre season!! - consumed a lot of our prep time. We would suggest to hotel and ferry Baldur ppl to sit together and produce a flyer together to send out to anyone interested in a stay about `how to best arrive & depart on Flatey´.

Passengers can travel to this remote island of Flatey from North (Brjans) and South (Stykkis) by ferry. Cars will be parked according to your decision on either side (mainland) during you rest and enjoy Flatey Island. As Snaefallsnes in the South is generally rather costly and the Westfjords are not yet, the pricing found on Flatey is rather Snaefellsnes + special place price scale. For us, esp. as the Hotel had only us and another couple staying, the booking turned out to be relatively overpriced. During our stay we have been blessed with sunshine. Food was good, dinner was deliciously prepared. Thanks to the Chef.

One lamp of two in the room was missing a lightbulb. The only negative I can mention!

Nice and cozy little hotel in a beautiful and quaint fishing village. Staff friendly. The food is world class. Every ingredient is local. This is a good place for kids and people that would like a break from city hustle bustle.

Hotel Flatey is the ultimate retreat after exploring Iceland's Westfjords. Authentically restored accommodation, very comfortable and excellent food on a spectacularly beautiful and sublimely tranquil island.
