    Central and quiet Hotel at Akureyri

    Hotel very close to the center (2 minutes walk). Friendliness at reception. Small but modern and comfortable room. This was one of the rare hotels I've been in Iceland where the curtains allowed total black out, which is extremely relevant in the Icelandic summer. Good parking space. Very good varied and complete breakfast, however the restaurant is small so some of the customers had breakfast in the reception hall.

    Only downside is the locking technology on the doors isn’t great; our first room wouldn’t actually lock (electronically controlled, no dead bolt) and we had to be moved.

    Breakfast was great, room was spacious and staff was very friendly and helpful.

    Relaxing stay with a touch of elegance in the middle of Iceland road trip

    View from the window was a bit dull (rapidly rising grass cliff). Room was a bit tight for two large luggage. These are not dealbreakers, though.

    The overall atmosphere was elegant. Old but stylish hotel building. The room and hallways were in good condition. The hotel restaurant also has a multi-course tasting menu. Room had a large tv and a separate bluetooth speaker.

    Nothing, there were some alterations going on but they did not interfere with our stay in any way

    Perfect location overlooking the fjord and a minutes walk to the town centre. Comfortable rooms nicely presented with thoughtful touches of complimentary soft drinks and snacks in fridge and a coffee machine

    Lovely hotel, currently undergoing some renovations but this wasn't an issue. The rooms were cosy, the breakfast good and the staff super friendly. Extra treats in the minibar was nice after a full day of exploring. Akureyri is a very walkable place so the hotel is easy to get everywhere. Airport very close just a quick cab journey away.

    A cool and quirky hotel
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 1 night

    The hotel is currently undergoing renovation so there is no reception area and the breakfast area is quite small (I assume this will be remedied with once the renovation are complete).

    Hotel Akureyri is a unique boutique hotel with quirky features such as a record player and vinyl in the room. Each room is named after a movie quote (ours was "ET phone home") with no need for keys because you have a code to get in. Check out simply consists pressing a checkout button. An excellent breakfast buffet was included.

    The breakfast was extraordinary good and you are feeling that they really want to provide a nice experience for their guests. The rooms are small but cosy and very well equipped. The location is perfect to the city center and it was great to have free parking in front of the hotel.

    The TV didn’t work , only linked to one channel. Think the cable / broadband was not connect properly Tap in bathroom dripped

    Loved the hotel and it’s sister . There was building work so was difficult to know where to enter but got sorted. Signage could have been more explicit. Nice rooms, cosy and liked the fridge, bar stools ets. Comfy beds and duvets

    There are a couple of small points. First, getting in was a bit of an issue at first due to some ongoing construction (They are expanding). It was minor but could have been stated more clearly in their communication. The walls also seem to transmit some sound. Again, not major for me but I could see it being a problem for some. My room was small. It was fine for a night for one person but for two over a couple of nights it might feel cramped. The shower was good but also small. It’s an old building that has been updated which means it comes with quirks. I loved the character.

    It has a great location and lots of charm and character. The staff were very helpful and very conscientious about making sure everything went right. I loved it.
