Being on a remote island and staying at this wonderful property was terrific. All of the staff were friendly and attentive. The food was fantastic the room was excellent. The live music was a special treat too. We can’t wait to return

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.

Unbelievable experience and lovely staff, a harmonious place in a world of its own. Recommend 10/10, completely worth spending a couple of nights there.

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.

Well, I don't love sharing bathrooms, but that's the only choice in this, the only hotel on the island. My single room was exceedingly small, but I was just happy to have a nice, clean place to stay in such a unique place. The view from my room was amazing -- but you had to basically lie on the floor to see out the window! Still, definitely go to Flatey Island and stay there.

First, Flatey Island is amazing, and I am super happy I chose to spend a night there. There is only one hotel on this small island. It's a beautiful, historical two building property. The adjoining restaurant is phenomenal, and the breakfast provided was the best I had in Iceland. Large numbers of Puffins are viewable at close range just a five minute walk up the road.

It’s quite expensive for a hotel with shared bathrooms but it’s the only option

Flatey is absolutely charming and this hotel is perfect for the atmosphere of the location. Great summer concert series where locals and tourists alike share in the fun. Excellent food and one of the best cocktails I’ve had in Iceland.

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.

Everything makes sense here. The island is absolutely beautiful and peaceful and so was the hotel. The staff is super kind and helpful and the food is really good. Favorite place after a long road trip accros Iceland. We would love to come back one day.

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.
