Fosshotel Westfjords

My spouse and I spent a week in Iceland in September 2021 and knew we had to come back for a longer visit. We did so in August 2023 and dedicated two weeks. We rented a car at KEF airport planning to drive the Ring Road. We are so glad that we included a visit to the WestFjords taking the car ferry from Stykkishólmur to Brjánslækur. (We met a number of wonderful travelers on the ferry that we saw later during the course of our travels.) We spent two nights in a Superior Room at the Fosshotel Westfjords in Patreksfjörður. The accomodations were great and I can highly recommend spending time in the West Fjords at this hotel. The staff were all excellent and very helpful in guiding our travels–takk to them. (We did make the multi-hour drive on the dusty, bumpy road to the Látrabjarg Nesting Cliff and saw the last of the puffins before they head to sea for the winter.) The breakfast buffet, as we found at all the Fosshotels we stayed at on this trip, was excellent. And, what a great peaceful view just stepping outside the hotel. We miss you Iceland, and can't wait to return.

Of the 8 hotels we stayed at in Iceland, this was our least favorite. The service was least effort possible. Coffee machine at breakfast didn't work properly the entire time we were there and no one seemed to care. We had a toilet that was leaking all over the bathroom floor and not sure who designed the shower in this room, but putting a curtain in a 1X1M shower means it sticks to you the entire time you're in there. You won't have many choices in this area, but I'd look elsewhere if you can.

Our first experience at a Fosshotel was very pleasant. The manager provided us with answers - and great suggestions - to our many questions about activities in the area. The place is clean and very nice, and the staff very good in all regards. Our (four) dinners were not outstanding but the breakfast was awesome.

The physical aspect of the hotel is good and what makes it special is the staff who are extremely friendly, always ready to help, going beyond the regular duties to assist the guests with suggestions, local tips, etc...The manager, Marco, added the touch that made our stay special. Thank you very much.

Nice hotel with location on the fjord. The room we had, not very large in size, had fjord view and was equipped with everything we needed. Bathroom quite small. Breakfast good with varied choice of sweet and savory. Restaurant good. Special thanks to the girl who during check-out (on September 11) helped us with a problem with our car.

We really enjoyed our one night stay here. Hotel and staff were great. Close to some attractions in westfjords. We were blessed and had an amazing night to see northern lights here! We also want to recognize our receptionist Tatiana. We really appreciate your energy and hospitality. You were very informative and spot on about the Northern lights.
