Reviews of Hotel Flatey

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.

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!!

There was absolutely nothing about the hotel or our stay there that we didn´t like - other than the fact that we should have booked more nights!!

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.

The staff was amazing, treat you like your best friends. The food fantastic. The island is so amazing and special.

Stayed to short!!

Not sure words can describe the feeling of staying at this hotel in this magical place. Excellent stay in all regards, the hospitality was second to none. Highly recommend if you can get out there!

This is a gem of a hotel. Food, drink and service were first rate. The hotel is managed and staffed by friendly, kind and helpful people. Excellent nearby bird photography opportunities. Wonderful entertainment. A relaxing and magical place overall. Hótel is also filled with thoughtful touches.

Such a charming place, to rest after a long around the island road teip

Owner very friendly amd relaxed made our stay very pleasant

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.

Rooms are small and the walls are very thin, meaning toilet and bathroom noises can be heard if your room is next door. WiFi is poor outside of the cafe/restaurant Aside from the tables at the cafe, there is no 'lounge' area per se, although if the weather is nice there is outdoor seating. The restaurant is understandably expensive.

Everything was incredible - location; experience; food; staff (Lilian!!!). Really an amazing experience.

I wish I could have spent more time there.

Staying at a comfortable nice hotel in this unic island is exceptional. Recommend highly.

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.

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.
