Hotel Flatey

Hotel Flatey is a 14-room, homely hotel in the heart of Breidafjordur bay. Travelers looking for a comfortable place to stay while exploring the beauty of Northwest Iceland will find excellent accommodations in this hotel.

<b>Location & Nearby</b>

Hotel Flatey is located on Flatey Island, a secluded part of the Breidafjordur bay, with well-preserved houses built over a hundred years ago. Flatey is a small, picturesque island measuring just 2.5 square kilometers. It is also considered a hidden gem that adventurers and nature enthusiasts will certainly love.

In addition to enjoying Flatey Island’s beautiful landscape, Hotel Flatey guests can check out a few attractions worth visiting. About 0.47 miles (750 meters) from the hotel is the Flatey Church. It is a solitary white church featuring 18th-century architecture and is considered the island’s main point of interest.

Another notable place to visit is the Flatey Library, built in 1864. The Flatey Library was moved to its current location in 1925 to accommodate the church’s would-be location. Though the library only houses around 100 books, it seems more than enough for the island’s small population of only two permanent residents. 

If you’re a nature lover, you’ll enjoy Flatey Island’s abundant birdlife, led by the adorable Atlantic Puffins that nest in the area during summer. The island is a paradise for birdwatchers, especially during summer when migratory birds flock to its shores.
