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

The facility was immaculate. Breakfast was very good. There was fresh pineapple, melon. Hot food such as scrambled eggs and bacon were on the daily breakfast buffet. The shared bathrooms were clean and tidy

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.

Very charming. Amenities were very thorough including a kitchen with cooking equipment. A computer, WiFi, a chess board, a dining/public area. The people here are the nicest I have ever met and the town is gorgeous.

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.

Property is nice and clean. The area is beautiful. The staff is friendly. The only minor issues was that the toilet seat was broken and only soap was provided (no shampoo). Also, you had to find your own parking on the street. Fortunately we had no issue in this regard, but the street does fill up! But otherwise it was a very nice stay!

Neglected kitchen, and check in.
We arrived after a very long drive and the guesthouse had a note on the door to check in at another location. We went to the other hotel and no one was at the reception. A couple of telephone numbers was posted to call. No answer. We went to one of the few restaurants in town and asked for help. A waitress knew someone who used to work at the guest house and got in touch with him, and he got in touch with the proprietor of the guest house. The kitchen was dirty,no paper towels, no dish detergent and dishwasher was broken. The lock to our door was as well. They did upgrade us to another of their hotels on our 3rd night and this was very clean and comfortable and much appreciated.

ow To Test One’s Patience
Actually did not stay at Guesthouse Isafjordur Gamla. Seems the owner, who owns several other accommodations, closed the Guesthouse. So when we went to check-in you can guess the cluster. The people we spoke with, some of who were not employees, were very helpful. After two hours we had a room in Hotel Horn. Place was acceptable but just a room. Lobby was a mess. Someone brought us a key. Kitchen was closed so no breakfast. Again we were given coupons to a Bakery. No fridge in room so stored our small cooler in yet another hotel. I can only say that the locals were very friendly and helpful!

Adorable, comfortable, convenient, and affordable!
Charming, super clean, lovely guest house. Breakfast included at the nearby hotel was delicious. The shared bathroom/showers were no problem (also clean, no issues with overcrowding) and a sink in our room meant no need to wait for grooming. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again. Walkable to everything, sitting room with games, books, and loads of charm.
