Why comfort doesn’t need luxury

Embrace Genuine Comfort

Traveling in Westfjords & West Iceland teaches us that true comfort comes from cozy interiors, friendly hosts, and stunning nature just beyond your window. You don’t need marble lobbies or chandeliers to feel cared for—just a warm bed, welcoming common areas, and a sense of place. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Ourhotels.is.

Your Home Away from Home

Stay at Hvítá Inn near Borgarnes or choose the rugged charm of Truck Inn at the banks of the Hvítá river. Each property focuses on thoughtful details—soft linens, home-made breakfasts, and peaceful communal lounges—so you can unwind after a day of exploration without the fuss of excessive luxury.

Why Comfort Over Luxury?

• Mindful design: simple lines, natural materials, and cozy lighting
• Local hospitality: hosts who share tips on secret swimming spots and hidden hiking trails
• Closeness to nature: fall asleep to the sound of flowing rivers or distant seabird calls

Must-Do Activities

West Iceland and the Westfjords are packed with unique experiences:

• Snæfellsnes Peninsula: Walk on black sand beaches and marvel at basalt cliffs.
• Golden Circle: Visit Gullfoss waterfall and the Geysir geothermal area.
• Dynjandi Waterfall: Hike to the cascading “jewel of the Westfjords.”
• Whale Watching: From Ísafjörður Inn, embark on a boat tour to spot orcas and humpbacks.

When to Go

– Summer (June–August): 24-hour daylight, lush landscapes, and accessible highland roads.
– Shoulder seasons (May & September): fewer crowds, changing scenery, and lower rates.
– Winter (October–April): northern lights, snow-shoeing, and cozy evenings by the fireplace.

What to Pack

• Waterproof jacket and pants
• Sturdy hiking boots
• Warm layers (wool or fleece)
• Swimsuit (for geothermal pools)
• Camera with extra batteries

How Long to Stay

We recommend 4–7 days to fully appreciate the diversity of West Iceland and the remote beauty of the Westfjords. Break your trip into two or three bases—try The Stykkishólmur Inn for coastal town charm and then Ísafjörður Inn for mountain and fjord adventures.
