The best thing about Hotel Fokalundur was definitely the staff! Two young woman were working at the hotel and restaurant - they were cheerful, friendly, full of great tips for the area (Penna hike, hot pot down the road! Latrabarg bird cliffs!), and made us feel like very welcome guests. The hotel is just a few miles down from the ferry landing, making it a great place to lay your head after the 3pm ferry from Stykkishomur. The rooms had cozy robes we jumped into and then headed about 400m down the road to a little hot pot right on the ocean. Afterwards, we had dinner in their dining room and, despite it being the only restaurant any where nearby, they do take great care with their preparations and food quality. We had a yummy mushroom soup and shared a pizza and salad - all of it quite good and fresh! Our room was the largest room we had during our entire stay in Iceland. It was well-appointed and the beds and bedding were comfy and warm. Most everything in the room was new. They're in the midst of completing an addition so there should be new rooms next season. The hotel is just across the street from a beautiful hike along a river with multiple water falls. The hike, Penna, is well marked and easy for most any ability level. We also had the good fortune of being at Hotel Flokalundur when the local farmers were bringing their sheep down from the highlands. Everyone in the surrounding area was out helping. We got to watch them drive the sheep right down the road in front of the hotel! Highly, highly recommend Hotel Flokalundur for a relaxing, cozy night on your way to exploring the Westfjords!

You are not spoiled for choice in Flókalundur: it’s mainly a crossroads, a hotel with a filling station and restaurant and a nearby campsite. It lies just to the east of the sprawling fingers of the Westfjords on the southern side, and after a long drive up from Reykjavik, the sight of the hotel, welcoming and surprisingly busy in the early evening, was very cheering. Rooms are a good size and the beds generous and comfortable. There are communal seating areas inside and out commanding views of the seashore, and a big buzzy restaurant serving burgers, pizzas and fresh fish. Hotel residents get breakfast included in the room price. It’s utterly unpretentious, comfortable and stress-free. Even better, 200 yards away on the beach is a hot springs pool carved into the rock: perfect for a late evening wind-down, or in our case, a pre-breakfast pick-me-up. Bliss -

“Solid overnight pick”

Friendly reception, free parking, quiet room and good breakfast, right on the road along the coast. This was an easy choice after some touring around the Westfjords.
