Iceland’s dramatic landscapes—glaciers, hot springs, and volcanic fields—come with a strong culture of safety and preparedness. Fire safety is a key part of that, and understanding Iceland’s fire safety guidelines helps you travel with confidence and peace of mind.
At Ourhotels.is, guest safety is our first priority, whether you’re staying at Hvítá Inn in Borgarfjörður, Stykkishólmur Inn on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, or Ísafjörður Inn in the Westfjords. All of our properties follow Icelandic fire regulations and are designed to make it easy for you to stay both comfortable and safe.
In Iceland, accommodation providers must comply with strict fire codes. This includes clearly marked escape routes, regularly tested smoke detectors, fire extinguishers in key locations, and staff trained in emergency procedures. When you check into any of our hotels via Ourhotels.is, you’ll notice visible fire exit signs, evacuation maps, and information in your room or common areas explaining what to do in case of an emergency.
At Hvítá Inn in Borgarfjörður, close to Borgarnes, we combine countryside charm with modern safety systems. The inn is equipped with smoke alarms, emergency lighting, and clearly marked exits, so you can relax after a day exploring waterfalls, hot springs, and lava fields knowing that safety measures are in place and regularly inspected.
Stykkishólmur Inn, in the picturesque fishing town of Stykkishólmur, follows the same high standards. Before you settle in, take a moment to locate the nearest fire exit from your room and read the evacuation instructions. Our staff are trained to guide guests calmly and efficiently should an alarm sound, and regular drills ensure that procedures are kept up to date with Icelandic fire safety guidelines.
In the far northwest, Ísafjörður Inn offers a cozy base for exploring the dramatic Westfjords. Here, as in all Ourhotels.is properties, we maintain up-to-date fire safety equipment and clear communication. Emergency contact numbers, including the national emergency number 112, are easy to find, and our team can explain local safety practices if you have any questions.
As a guest, there are a few simple ways you can support fire safety during your stay in Iceland:
– Familiarize yourself with the nearest exits and evacuation routes as soon as you arrive.
– Keep corridors and doorways clear of luggage and personal items.
– Use electrical appliances responsibly and report any damaged equipment to reception.
– Never tamper with smoke detectors or fire extinguishers.
– Follow staff instructions immediately if an alarm sounds.
