Akureyri hotels

Pros: Clean, and nice hotel. Good value for the money.

Cons: Location of bathroom was odd and uncomfortable. If is right behind the head of the bed and you hear everything. Other than that good rooms.

Pros: I was welcomed like an old friend and left feeling like a member of the family. Truly exceptional hospitality

Pros: Everything

Pros: Comfy, quiet rooms. Staff were really friendly & breakfast was excellent.

Cons: Everything was perfect.

Pros: Nice breakfast spread. Great location.

Cons: Due to a recent remodel, we had to go up to the third floor and then down a long hallway, take a small set of stairs, followed by another elevator to get to our room. This was very inconvenient for traveling with luggage or had one of us been disabled.

Pros: The staff was very friendly and always there to provide good service if needed.

Cons: The coffee at the breakfast table was not so good and the buffet was missing the bacon.

Pros: Comfortable, simple stay.

Cons: A bit farther from town main street than anticipated.

Pros: The rooms were clean and big with very comfortable beds. In front of the hotel there are many parking lots available. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is very nice and the city center is in a short walking distance. The breakfast was very good.

Cons: The dinner buffet is expensive. Therefore we went to a restaurant.

Pros: The location is good for visiting the city. However, if you want to go downtown you have to use the car. There is parking at the hotel. The city is beautiful

Cons: I presume the rooms were modernized in the 1990s. Since then they have remained exactly the same

Cons: Very small room but for one night is all right.

Cons: Toilet smelly,dirty , The bed uncomfortable,

Pros: The location and staff were very friendly and helpful. Looks like really good spot to see northern lights, however we weren’t lucky enough to see them. Highly recommended.

Pros: We arrived during the night after a long drive from Keflavik airport and the friendly guy from reception gave us a couple of local beers :) The hotel has outside jacuzzi that you can use and the breakfast was really nice! We wish we could stay more than just 1 night.

Pros: Breakfast was generous and tasty!

Pros: The facilities

Cons: The bath tubs close too soon (around 20h/20:30h)

Pros: The outdoor hottub with 1 meter of snow all around was amazing! (Just a suggestion for the hotel: install a small covered deck so that people could let there the towels to keep them dry while in the hottub; we had to leave them under the snow).

Pros: Good hotel close to centre of town. Comfortable room, very clean. Recommended.

Pros: breakfast was amazing location was great

Cons: Room was small, layout meant the door opened right into the bed... the bed was 2 singles pushed together, not a double and we kept falling into the middle... not comfortable at all water had the cloudy sulphur smell... 6 hotels during our visit and only one that had this issue

Pros: Very cute hotel in a great location. Close to the city center and the waterfront. Great breakfast! Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons: Rooms were a little dated but they were clean and we'll equipped. Not a big deal for me but thought I would mention it.

Pros: Room was a good size with a very comfortable bed, powerful warm shower, with heated bathroom floor. Due to CV-19 the breakfast was left in our mini-bar. This was excellent and provided plenty of nutrition for the day ahead and was really appreciated by both of us. The location was perfect - a short walk from the town centre, with the restaurants and shops whilst being close to the main road and beautiful scenery. Although we didn't meet the staff due to isolation measures, they were helpful and easily contactable to help us gain access to the Hotel. The room had good facilities with a hair dryer, drink glasses, kettle and a safe.

Cons: The door on the room was a little stiff so had to be pulled tight to ensure it was shut when leaving the room. We liked the pin code entry to the room - which was a nice touch.

Pros: Room was small but cosy and is perfect for one or two nights. Able to walk to centre of the town in less than 5 mins. Really liked Akureyri!

Pros: The hotel is located very close to city center, to the main streets, the shopping area and the harbour. It was also easy to access from the airport (3,5 km away). We received a room at the highest floor as we requested. Nice view of the fjord. In the winter, the room is warm, with a comfortable bed and a simple bathroom with all the facilities. The room has a keetle, cups, teabags and coffee. The breakfast is served in the reception lobby, which during evenings into a nice bar with a lot of options in winter :) You have a lot of options at breakfast, even a wafflemaker.

Cons: The furniture in the rooms is a little bit outdated and it has dark colours. We could not make the refrigerator to work (maybe it was broken). In the bathroom, the ventilation hole was dirty with a lot of dust from the airflow.

Pros: Great location

Cons: Small breakfast area

Pros: Car parking is convenience right in front of hotel save my effort especially 3 luggages to manage. Walking distance to city center and my ice cream shop.

Cons: Buffet breakfast not available due to covid19, but owner put effort to deliver to room. We have to eat from bench and make our own coffee. Just a comment not a complaint.

Pros: Amazingly clean and tidy, nice and warm, 5 min away from a supermarket. The host was gracious, agreed to refund amount when I got snowed in and couldn't stay the night.

Pros: Great facilities! A bit a pity that no one is at the reception when arriving in case of questions , but with instruction all went fine. And the owner came in the evening checking that everything went fine. Good value for money :-)

Pros: Note that due to the Corona-pandemic there is nearly no one travelling in Iceland at the moment. However, the stay at Akureyri Hostel was amazing. The Hostel is super clean and the common areas spacious and very well equipped. The Hostel is located right next to a Bonus/Domino's Pizza/Petrol Station. Make sure you order breakfast at Axelsbakari when you check in. The bakery is just around the corner and their breakfast offers more than you can wish for. The Hostel's location is perfect for exploring Akureyri and its sourroundings (Diamond Circle). I highly recommend the Hostel and would love to stay there again.

Pros: Good location, great equipped kitchen and value for money!

Pros: The place has a good vibe, decent size and equipment

Cons: It was a bit hard to get in the building, we have to use a door phone on the first floor and push an other door in the ground floor, at the same time. For some reason it didnt quite worked and we we standing around for about 10 minutes

Pros: Very friendly staff, clean room, functional kitchen. I will gladly use in the future.

Pros: We got update for better rooms, building the next door. Absolutely insane!!! So nice, cozy, clean, we loved it so much! Beds so comfy, kitchen clean, and calm although it was in the centre. Highly recommend!

Pros: The staff was very responsive and super friendly. The place was clean, comfy and right in the heart of the town.

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: Very clean, central and great staff.

Pros: Very good location

Cons: Not clean

Pros: Clean, good localisation, cat who liked us :) , comfortable beds, nice common area

Cons: No teaspoons in the kitchen, in my bathroom room, the toilet made periodically loud noises, filling the water.

Pros: Best view from any hotel in all of Iceland, mountain and Sea view, you basically avoid the toll route by booking this hotel, staff was super friendly and helped us a lot for our trip planning for surrounding places to visit, got A discounted room upgrade

Cons: Jacuzzi wasn't enclosed, so couldn't use it at night

Pros: Everything was fine, from the hotel to the staff! It was wonderful waking up to see the fiorde right in front of us!

Cons: Nothing to say...

Pros: This was a great place to stay just outside of Akureyri. The room was small but clean and comfortable with a big window for viewing the aurora, and next to the dining area was a comfortable lounge area with spectacular views of the snow capped mountains and the fjord. The breakfast was the best selection of our trip so far, and coffee and tea were available all the time, which was great after being outdoors in the cold. The concierge was fantastic! We had been traveling the ring road and had to do laundry so we asked for the location of a laundromat. He let us use the hotel’s laundry facility for free. He also scraped the frost from the windshields as people were checking out. We stayed two nights as a rest stop after some pretty intense road trip days and it was a great, comfortable place to take a rest before continuing on the other half of the trip. It’s close to downtown Akureyri, and it’s also very close to a sweet little museum of a turf and stone farm called Laufás, that was a very pleasant surprise just down the street.

Pros: Location, staff informed us about sighting northern lights which allowed us to get an unexpected view!

Cons: No glasses or cups in the room

Pros: Spacious room, good breakfast and a great hot tub

Pros: Nice and well located, room with private bathroom and good breakfast.

Pros: The location, staff and the overall feel.loved it

Cons: We were very keen to use the kitchen facilities but unfortunately could not as not offered by the property

Pros: I was so impressed with this hotel! I wasn't expecting much given the price I paid, but this was probably my favourite hotel out of all of the ones I stayed at in Iceland over 10 days. The view of the sunset from the hotel was beautiful (overlooking the fjord and mountains), and in the evening I was able to see the northern lights from my room as well. The breakfast was really nice and included warm options. There is also free coffee/espresso and tea available to all guests in the main dining area. There's also a hot tub, which is just amazing under the northern lights. The staff member who greeted me was very friendly and was able to provide me with excellent advice for things to do in Husavik (which is where I was headed the next day). Definitely staying here again if I'm near Akureyri.

Cons: The washroom was a bit cramped.

Pros: The room looked very nice

Cons: Light didn’t work, bathroom smelled like crazy

Pros: The beds were comfortable.

Cons: Bathroom smelled bad and was in rather bad shape. Bad location, and no staff nearby. The phone number for staff which was on a plaque at the property was an inaccurate number. Therefore it was hard to get help.

Pros: Very nice location and clean.

Cons: There was no electricity and nobody cared about it. All the visitors contacted the reception and tried to solve the problem, but nobody from the Guesthouse seemed willing to fix the situation and did nothing at all.

Pros: Very quiet, relaxed, supernice receptionist. Very low price and good value for money.

Pros: Location is good. Very close to city center and liquid store. It has nice view.

Cons: Before I booked the stay I called the reception and asked if there is some kitchen available so we could prepare a dinner since we were going to stay at the camp site and we found it closed. The receptionist lied to me saying there is a kitchen available and it will not be a problem to prepare a dinner. The only thing we found was a tiny refrigerator and microwave in the other part of the guesthouse (you need to go outside and walk around the house to the main entrance to get there). The toilet was just loud. The ventilation fan makes a lot of noise as same as the shower. Literally the noise that could wake you up. There is some issue with water pressure.

Pros: We got an upgrade into their other guesthouse and from 1 to 2 rooms, which was fantastic. Staff is very nice, they respond quickly to any questions through written messages and are quickly there when needed. It is a lovely place with nice rooms. The kitchen is small in Hrafninn but well equipped. We loved our stay!

Pros: Very nice guesthouse with soul, clean and tidy, we had great time ;)

Cons: Small problems with shower...

Pros: Location was good as were the other residents of the home. Room was small. Staff was helpful.

Pros: The hostel was very quiet.We were on the 4th floor.We are 'flashpackers' as opposed to backpackers and we always stay in private rooms these days,Beds were comfortable and we had two toilets and two hand-basins across the corridor .Showers were downstairs which was a little different but the exercise is good .Breakfast was simple but nice.

Cons: When we initially checked in the young lady was rather busy so she only provided us with a few details.We had a car and we asked where we should park and she said in the public parking lot behind the hostel.She said that we would need to get a permit from the bank or petrol station.Whilst this is factually correct in the morning we learnt that the hostel was also able to provide permits. I think it would be a good idea to have a printout of information for travelers ,particularly those with cars,so that we get the correct information about where and when we can park,parking permits etc etc

Pros: Bar and restaurant downstairs

Cons: You had to pay extra for a blanket. Extremely crowded downstairs. No towels.

Pros: Bar area is really nice with a gaming console. Managed to get a Nintendo Switch plugged into the HDMI of the TV and played at the bar which was decent.

Cons: Didn't realise duvets weren't included but could be rented for extra price. Showers are on the lower ground floor whereas out rooms were on the 2nd floor. Had to stay due to a storm in the same city so managed to find a much better accommodation for way cheaper.

Pros: Close to central Cleaning

Cons: Blankets require extra payment. It has been emphasized that blankets are not needed, but cashiers are forcing them to pay for blankets.

Pros: comfortable accommodation in the city center. we lived on the fourth floor and had views of the mountains.

Cons: parking was a few minutes away from the hostel

Pros: The location and the room

Cons: I would have liked two pillows

Pros: The hostel is in central location and staff were very friendly. It’s also having bar and cafe, I really enjoyed food over there.

Cons: The drawback is noisy bed and shower is in basement, not on the floors of the rooms.

Pros: good location

Cons: walls are like paper

Pros: Great location and we were greeted as soon as we arrived and made to feel very welcome.

Cons: Blinds or curtains to block out daylight. Dawn can very early on this part of the world.

Cons: Did not have the correct room. Only one double bed and we asked for 2 single.... we had to book somewhere else...

Pros: Nice clean room with comfortable bed in nice building in excellent location, right on the town 'square' - very easy 5 minutes or less walk to everywhere in town centre and plenty of restaurants nearby. Bathroom was small and a bit dilapidated but was good enough. Overall this room was excellent value. Also, make sure you try out the local swimming pool whilst in Akureyri, it was wonderful and very inexpensive!

Cons: The bathroom was nicely decorated but tiny and we had a couple of problems with it during our stay, but nothing major and not enough to put us off returning to this place, which was great overall.

Pros: Great location.

Cons: I wish there was a small refrigerator in the room.

Pros: Clean, comfortable, fully equiped kitchen. Nice view.

Cons: No parking nearby.

Pros: Location superb, hosts amazing, breakfast great

Cons: Bathroom floor a little creaky so could wake others up in night

Pros: The cottage is nicely located in a quiet area facing the fjord. It is not big, but has everything you could need. The best thing is that you can see the fjord sitting in the bed! Nice horses are around.

Cons: The attitude of the owner was disappointing. I booked 7 months in advance and I clearly said that I will arrive at 1pm. No one told me in 7 months that this is not possible. In fact they didn't care. There is no notice about the fact that the reception is opened only from 8 to 12 and from 15 to 22 and there is no luggage storage. The lady who welcomed us didn't do anything more than the minimum required,therefore we didn't feel welcomed at all. It's a pity and left a bitter taste despite the fact that the place is quit nice. The shower was dirt, with hair and a lot of dirt on the side, the sink also. The towels were very "tired" and shabby. Beds were too soft for us, but this is a matter of taste. Breakfast was quite poor, with no local products, only very basic things from the supermarket. Being a guesthouse one should expect something more home made not only jams from supermarket.

Pros: A lot. ..

Cons: Shower space, but no big deal

Pros: I loved the cozy cottage feel, and how inviting the staff was.

Cons: The shower is TINY!

Pros: The location was great. Host was friendly and assisting. Room was nice.

Pros: Everything!

Cons: Nothing!
