Looked like the street the hotel was on was doing a lot of renovations and building. Didn’t affect our stay.
I loved the decor a lot! It was so eclectic and fun. Breakfast was great and we were in walking distance of their downtown area. So it was perfect for exploring.

Recently stayed at this property. We had the Apartment booked and it didn't disappoint. Lots of attention to detail and amenities like dishwasher, washer/dryer etc really helped. Centrally located. Breakfast spread was decent as well. Would definitely stay again.

We had a great stay. The hotel is well located within walking distance to the botanic garden and shopping street. Rooms are a bit small but comfortable and toiletries are top notch. Breakfast area is compact but you can bring your food out to the spacious and pleasant lobby area. Staff were helpful and flexible.

We stayed in the new building, so everything was clean, new, and modern. They served a wonderful breakfast. Parking is a bit slim and we ended up parking almost a 1/4 mile away from the entrance. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would go back.

The hotel was beautiful, the beds were comfortable, and most importantly the black out curtains were great! They are so necessary for the summer months. Couldn’t recommend this stay more!

Had a lovely stay at the Hotel Akureyri. The place is really nicely decorated, beds very comfortable and the included breakfast was prefect before our long drive back to Reykjavik.

Would be perfect, if the laundromat would be working and if there would be a electric kettle for tea.

Perfect location close to the water and walkable to the main shopping area and restaurants within 5 minutes on the flat (which was ideal in the ice/snow as the hills looked slippery) The hotel has been beautifully decorated, the included breakfast was great and the basic double room was plenty big enough. Will be recommending to anyone I know if they travel to Akureyri.

Our stay at Akureyri
It was a good stay for overall except the room was extremely small and we could find any space to open even our luggage properly. Besides of that the hotel staff, location, cleanliness was terrific and i cannot say any negative things about it

Absolutely loved the vibe of this hotel with a great social lobby perfectly located in the heart of Akureyri. Staff was super customer focused. For us Americans they have ice in all drinks including water. Wonderful happy hour. The restaurant North which is the sister restaurant to the Michelin star Dill in Reykjavik is in this hotel, make sure to book ahead. Book a room on the back side and it is super quiet. You may want to upgrade to a suite as the rooms are retro NYC sized, but a real king not two twins. You do have a refrigerator and safe in the room so while compact it has everything. Like the La Occitane amenities and they do have hair conditioner as well. Morning breakfast is continental. Very close to the Forest Lagoon and you can walk to the church. Definitely would stay here again.
