“Delightful hotel on the gorgeous island of Flatey - an absolute must if you have the chance to go!!”
We loved Hótel Flatey. We had a delightful little room, with a lovely view and were very comfortable. We were met at the ferry and our luggage taken for us so we were free to wander the coastal path to the hotel without worrying about carrying bags. Every member of staff we met was friendly and super-helpful. The restaurant was excellent and we loved the honesty bar for afternoon drinks. A great deal of time was spent sitting at the balcony tables in the sunshine watching the world go by.... it was a truly relaxing couple of days. We will definitely come back!!

“Brilliant views in authentic historic house in beautiful Flatey.”
We loved staying at Hotel Flatey to explore the beautiful island by foot. The family suite was really lovely and spacious, set in a charming historic Icelandic house. We enjoyed some sea swimming out by the old ship wreck. The dinner at the restaurant was superb and the staff at the hotel were really friendly and helpful.

“We will go there again.”
Beautiful boutic hotel. The food was exslent. We had ocean catfish which was perfectly cooked and elegantly presented. The waiters were very attentive. Our room was excellent. The island is very peaceful with a lot of birdlife. even has puffin. The painted church ceiling is masterfully done. This is a dream place to have a vacation.

“Great staff, beautiful building, cosy rooms”
We overnighted at Hotel Flatey on our way across to Snaefellsnes Peninsula from the north. The staff at the hotel were absolutely delightful and couldn't have been friendlier. The hotel has two buildings with rooms, all have shared bathroom. The rooms are very clean, however quite small. The old timber building is beautifully renovated, the restaurant serves delicious food. It is certainly a unique experience to do this stop during the summertime.

“Hostel or hotel?”
The hotel is in a very charming old building with an amazing restaurant and very friendly staff. Nice outdoor area. The remote location is exceptional (and basically what explains the price).

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.
