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.

Nice looking hotel with lovely rooms.Beds are comfortable. Let down by small bathrooms and lack of a restaurant, which is located two doors down in the newer hotel for breakfast. Good selection of breakfast in the buffet. Parking is nearby in a parking lot or on the street. Free parking in this zone.

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.

Rooms

Stylish and comfortable but often very small, with compact bathrooms and limited storage; several guests reported overheating or poor ventilation, and some older rooms feel dated. Some rooms have fjord views and effective blackout curtains.

This is a decently appointed albeit on the small side accommodation. We got stuck in Egilstaddir for a few hours with the closure of the Ring Road segment connecting to Akureyri. We pushed our Hotel Akureyri check in for a day thinking that we might have to spend another night in Egilstaddir. The hotel was very accommodating due to the circumstance. When the road opened back up, we rushed up the mountains and headed to Akureyri. We showed up after 7 PM and the owner (I believe it was) received us and changed our check in dates back to our original booking. No hassles. What great hospitality! The property is a short walk to town proper and within easy walkable access to restaurants. I strongly recommend Eyja and their delicious Nordic cuisine. I will stay at Hotel Akureyri when I’m back in these parts of Iceland. I will time it with their restaurant’s open days. It’s amazing that they grow their own veggies in one of the buildings close to the hotel. Very sustainable. I love that about the place. And the view of the bay is defunct a huge plus. It was refreshing waking up to the bay view as the rising sun clears through the fog. Very memorable mornings!!!

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.

Paktisch ist, dass das Hotel sich nur unweit zum Stadtzentrum befindet. Wir waren im Nachbarhaus, in einem neu sanierten und zweckmäßigen Doppelzmmer untergebracht. Das Preis-/Leistungsverhätnis incl. Frühstücksauswahl ist m. E. wirklich gut. Wenn jedoch viele Gäste gleichzeitig frühstücken kommen, kann es im Frühstücksraum schon mal eng werden und man weicht zum Frühstücken zusätzlich in die Lobby aus.
