We arrived late but Cindy was there to greet us and give us our key and overview of the property. She was also there at the excellent breakfast and chatted with us about her life in Iceland and gave us recommendations for things to do in the area. We saw whales from the pier and walked along the quiet beach. Overall an excellent stay.

A wonderful experience! The inn is located in a very well-done conversion of a school that is part of a compound that includes a church and cemetery. A very relaxing country atmosphere. We didn't find many hiking opportunities accesible from the property, but plenty to do nearby. The staff was outstanding, very friendly and providing much advice regarding local sites and hiking opportunies. The staff was the highlight of our 2 nights at Holt. The breakfast was excellent and is the only meal offered. For others, Flateryi is a short drive and has 2 options (only one after 5:00 p.m.). But then there is Kaffi Sol, which is on the way to Flateryi. The posted hours are 12-5. But, reservations can be made for evening meals. They are homecooked by Gunna and were delicious and she was wonderful. Dining at Kaffi Sol was a highlight of our stay not only at Holt Inn but of our entire travels in the West Fjords.

A truly gorgeous setting and a marvelous staff make the Holt Inn a must for anyone visiting Westfjords in Iceland. A delightful breakfast starts the day off right, and the outdoor hot tub (with cozy shower and changing room) over looking the fjord provides a great night cap—even if the sun never sets! If we ever make it back to Iceland, a stop at the Holt Inn will definitely be on our itinerary.
Be sure the visit the long wooden pier down the road for a wonderful beach experience.

We picked this property as I had read in other reviews that the scenery was better than in Isafjordur. It was stunning, mountai s all the way around. The room was a bit smaller than expected, but adequate and clean. Cindy the hotess was exceptionally kind and helpful. We were offered a lamb dinner for a fee. It was outstanding. I think we were offered this, as they had a bus tour group staying that night.

I had a lovely three night stay here and enjoyed it very much. The setting is beautiful, and very peaceful. The old school house has a lot of character and charm, and the hot pot was a great spot to relax at the end of the day.
The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area.
I had a double economy room and it was perfect for me, but if there were two people plus luggage it might be a bit crowded for some so just keep that in mind (not a complaint at all, just information)
It was a highlight of my trip to stay here.

Kristina was a lovely host helping arrange our needs and help answer questions about the local area.
The Holt Inn is set in a stunning location in a fjord, with panonamic views from outside of mountains and sea. The lack of people in general, the tranquility and beauty highlights the simplicty of it's surroundings making this a true gem of the Westfjords of you want to escape from reality. Plus the hot tub is set overlooking stunning scenery. Sat in there for 4 hours until 1am waiting for the Northen Lights.
There are also bikes you can use. Great venue for a simple night stip over to break up your journey or better still, stay 3 nights, enjoy the are it's in and local fjords and town too. Absolutely loved it. This would be an ultimate escape for a quiet time. Wish I stayed a week and not two nights.

Holt Inn is one of those rare finds just outside of Ísafjörður. A hotel/inn located in the country side outside of the town of Ísafjörður. The rooms are comfortable and the vibe welcoming. They have a hot tub on site and sell snacks and beers, with a free breakfast included in your stay - a rarity in Iceland. A 15 minute drive to Ísafjörður, it’s the perfect summer place if you want a quiet place to stay with all the access of the town nearby.

Quiet little place

Holt Inn was a quiet little place a short distance away from Isafjordur (just south of the tunnel). Quite close to the city center in Isafjordur - about 15 minutes or less where most of the restaurants are located. The manager of this guesthouse helped me with a reservation to the most sought after fish restaurant om town - Tjoruhusid. It was outstanding! An absolutely must go if you are in the area and a reservation is also a must.

A little slice of paradise in the Westfjords

The Holt Inn is simply wonderful. The location, the rooms, the breakfast, the hot tub…all fantastic.
The only minor criticism would be that there are not blackout curtains in the bathroom. There were in the bedrooms, which was great for sleeping, but if you have to wake up in the middle of the night, it is a rude awakening when you go to use the toilet (summer problem only). But as I say, that was the only minor issue. Everything else was just perfect.
They even had a plug for our electric car! Well done!
