Korpudalur HI Hostel

The location is amazing! We had the whole house for ourselves so it was just amazing. Lovely place!

Stayed there in late May, had the place almost to ourselves. Gorgeous terrain, nice for walking. Lucky to have wonderful weather during our stay, but note that this is the north of the Westfjords and there was still snow in the backyard at this time of year. Páll Stefánsson was an excellent host and deserves a special mention. Note that Korpudalur is a decent distance from Ísafjörður, so bringing and preparing your own food is a must. Only possible criticism is that if the place is full, the kitchen and dining area might be a bit cramped.

The pictures are misleading. We never saw that small cottage and we never saw that large dining room. Perhaps because there really wasn't much service. Everything was left up to the guests, including washing your own dishes and putting them away with the same towel that everyone else used. The rooms were too small, we could barely fit our suitcases. The location was quiet, but far from the nearest town and inconvenient if you need anything (like food). It's in an isolated area that is very difficult to get to. This wouldn't be so bad if the night stay was about $100 Euro, but it was over $200 Euro!... It felt like a classic example of price gouging.

I think it’s important to reiterate that this is a hostel, not a hotel. It’s simpler, more rustic. Suited to casual, affordable, more intimate lodging. Not for those who feel awkward sharing space with strangers. However, the rooms are comfortable, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the scenery is about beautiful. There is onsite laundry, and the optional breakfast service is delightful. My biggest gripe is that the wifi did not reach my room (2) so, I had to stay in the dining room to use my computer.

A good functional hostel for our journey around the Westfjords

Such a friendly and responsive owner of the place! Beautiful views!

Abbiamo soggiornato due notti nella casetta di legno, situata in una bellissima vallata, dove abbiamo potuto vedere l'aurora boreale piu bella di tutto il viaggio. La casetta era per 6 ma abbiamo avuto la fortuna di godercela da soli, altrimenti forse sarebbe stata un po piccola. Proprietari molto gentili. Prezzo molto buono per gli standard islandesi cosi come la posizione comoda per visitare i dintorni.

Cette guest house est tout simplement un scandale. Elle ne devrait pas être proposée sur hotel.com. Elle se situe à plus de 20 km de Flatery. Nous etions deux mais avions porté notre choix sur une chambre quadruple pour etre à l aise... Nous sommes tombés sur une chambre minuscule (10 m² environ) où noys ne pouvions même pas poser nos valises au sol car il n y avait pas la place ! De plus les murs étaient si fins que nous entendions très nettement les conversations de la chambre à côté puis les ronflements. Si nous savions que les douches étaient partagées nous ne nous attendions pas à trouver des douches peu reluisantes style vieille piscine. Et ne parlons pas des WC... Le tout pour une nuit à plus de 200€ !!! Je fais beaucoup de road trip dans le monde entier et je peux ecrire qu il s agit du pire rapport qualité prix jamais connu dans un hébergement tous pays du monde confondus. Cet hôtel est à fuir et j en veux à hôtels.com de le conseiller et demande le remboursement de cette nuit.

Frábær staður og vel tekið á móti okkur.
