welcome to hotel west

Hotel WEST is a small family-run hotel in the center of Patreksfjörður.

The building has a long history for the town and was the main market hall in the last century selling groceries to the “Patreksfirðingar” and near-by countryside.

 

We opened the doors in May 2014 after transforming the building into the hotel it is today.

The interior of the hotel is timeless and is designed to enhance the beautiful environment that surrounds it.

 

The hotel is located in the centre of Patreksfjörður and is Europe's most westerly town. The town centre has a swimming pool, a few restaurants, a pharmacy, and two grocery shops within a short walk. The fishing harbour is vivid at daybreak and again in the early afternoon when boats get back with their catch of the day, making the fish market active.

We look forward to continuing to welcome guests from all over the world who wish to explore the beautiful yet isolated Westfjords. It is our aim and pleasure to be a part of the experience and we like to help in any way we can to make your stay here in the southern Westfjord as enjoyable as possible - so don’t hesitate to contact us in the lobby upon your arrival.​

​

Our hotel has an indoor breakfast area, a TV lounge and a large patio for our customers to take in the views whilst enjoying breakfast (when the weather allows) or a drink in the afternoon/evening.

At Hotel WEST we have made a commitment to protect the environment and want to ensure the future generations can enjoy it too. We know that all businesses will influence the environment and society with their activities and our hotel is no exception. Therefore, we have formulated an environmental plan for the hotel and our customers.​

Our commitments to the nature are as follow:
