Public spaces feel lively, with a relaxed lounge and bar. Free parking is a practical plus. Check-in can be confusing between two nearby buildings, and a few guests reported access-code or room-assignment mix ups. Overall, expect a character-filled base best suited to short stays if you are comfortable with compact rooms and some bustle.

Für eine Nacht absolut ausreichend, länger würde ich allerdings nicht bleiben wollen: - Baustellenlärm - Winziges (sehr winzig!) Zimmer; es gab keinen Platz für den Koffer - Hellhörig Das Frühstück war gut, das Personal freundlich. Dass das Zimmer SO klein ist, kommt auf den Fotos nicht rüber. Eigentlich habe ich damit kein Problem, hier wurde ich doch leicht klaustrophobisch. Praktisch sind auch die Parkplätze und die Nähe zur "Passage". Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt okay.

Hotel Dynheimar and Hotel Akureyri are operated by the same management. This review is for the Akureyri. This hotel has very cool decor! The lobby has funky and fun furniture, a nice bar, free pool table, and plays mellow tunes. Even the hallways have cool artwork. The included breakfast was good, and the restaurant fare is reported to be great (it was booked up a day in advance so we couldn't try it out tho). I would recommend that breakfast diners also consider carrying their plates to the nearby lobby to eat, as the dedicated dinning area is quite small and fills up quickly. The lobby is awesome so enjoy this option! Tip:The surrounding area and town are very walkable, and there is a beautiful botanical garden at the top of the hill with an awesome cafe. Check it out if the weather is good!

Reception staff was very friendly and willing to assist with any needs. When we got to our room, the window (ground floor) was open and there was a sewer gas smell. Staff thought it was from the outside and after closing the window, it stopped. We had a new guest punch in the key code and open our room. Not sure why they were given our room and code. No place to hang towels in the bathroom, only one bar on the door. Very small room which is hard to ascertain from the pictures. Double bed but one person has to crawl over the other to get out. Breakfast was nice but limited and in a very small room for the size of the guests the two sites hold. The lobbies in each site have great 1920s character. We were ok for one night but would not recommend more. It was great there was free parking and an easy walk to downtown and restaurants. No problem walking around at night.

The two young men from Barcelona working the front desk were fantastic. Helping us understand where our room was located, where to park, dining options, and breakfast strategy were all shared and helpful. There needs to be a sign on the door to let people know to go to the Hotel Akureyri to check in. While I did get an email, I only saw if after I checked in.

La struttura è bellissima e molto ben tenuta. Camere arredate con mobilio elegante da non sembrare affatto stanze d’albergo! In camera c’erano anche un giradischi, alcuni dischi ed una chitarra! A pochi passi dal centro cittadino e dal porto e facilmente raggiungibile dalla ring road. Colazione buona.

Rooms
Rooms feature quirky, movie-themed decor and occasional extras like guitars, but many are very small with minimal storage. Several mention thin walls or door slams causing noise, and that photos made rooms look larger than reality.

I had high hopes for this spot. It looks great, and it's close to everything you want to see in Akureyri, but some things aren't just coming together for them: 1) TV unit has to connect to guest Wifi, which is impossible so we had to hotspot our own device to use it (and the front desk had no idea how to fix, and said they were going to tell the manager, who never followed up) 2) the free breakfast is good, but it's chaos at times with limited utensils, crowding and sometimes things feel 'old' (ie cold soft boiled eggs). 3) the rooms are stuffy and there's no ventilation other than opening the window to the street. This makes for a less than restful sleep. I have high hopes for what they have planned but these little details made for some bumps that can easily be ironed out.

Property had a very cool/unique design aesthetic. Loved that each room had a movie quote on the board outside, was just fun. The room we booked was tiny, which we knew at booking. Definitely wouldn't recommend one of those small rooms if you are travelling with very large or multiple pieces of luggage. We has one medium sized suitcase which was a squeeze but fine. Breakfast was great but space is very limited even with people spilling out into the lobby to eat

The hotel is very artsy. Very comfortable and visibly appealing. Check in was a little confusing. There are two Hotel Akureyri’s. One is being constructed and the other is the original. GPS will bring you to the one currently being constructed. Even with construction the hotel is still open to guests and is where breakfast is served, however, our hotel room was in a totally separate building a few businesses down the road. This definitely needs to be clarified when booking due to the confusion it raises. Even with the minor mishap the hotel its self is beautiful. Will definitely stay again.

Helping us understand where our room was located, where to park, dining options, and breakfast strategy were all shared and helpful. There needs to be a sign on the door to let people know to go to the Hotel Akureyri to check in. While I did get an email, I only saw if after I checked in.

Really cute hotel, nice location - very convenient for walking downtown. My only issue was the construction directly above our room and across the street that was very loud for the first couple hours we were there. It stopped around 5pm but started again around 7am. Good thing we were up early anyway, but not ideal if you want to sleep in.
Really cute hotel, nice location - very convenient for walking downtown. My only issue was the construction directly above our room and across the street that was very loud for the first couple hours we were there. It stopped around 5pm but started again around 7am.

During our entire stay in Iceland (so far), this has been the best hotel - professional, helpful staff, very comfortable and clean room, great bed and big pillows, clean bathroom, great location (near shops and restaurants) and plenty of free nearby parking

Hotel Dynheimar and Hotel Akureyri are operated by the same management. This review is for the Akureyri. This hotel has very cool decor! The lobby has funky and fun furniture, a nice bar, free pool table, and plays mellow tunes. Even the hallways have cool artwork. The included breakfast was good, and the restaurant fare is reported to be great (it was booked up a day in advance so we couldn't try it out tho). I would recommend that breakfast diners also consider carrying their plates to the nearby lobby to eat, as the dedicated dinning area is quite small and fills up quickly. The lobby is awesome so enjoy this option! Tip:The surrounding area and town are very walkable, and there is a beautiful botanical garden at the top of the hill with an awesome cafe. Check it out if the weather is good!

La struttura è bellissima e molto ben tenuta. Camere arredate con mobilio elegante da non sembrare affatto stanze d’albergo! In camera c’erano anche un giradischi, alcuni dischi ed una chitarra! A pochi passi dal centro cittadino e dal porto e facilmente raggiungibile dalla ring road. Colazione buona.

Für eine Nacht absolut ausreichend, länger würde ich allerdings nicht bleiben wollen: - Baustellenlärm - Winziges (sehr winzig!) Zimmer; es gab keinen Platz für den Koffer - Hellhörig Das Frühstück war gut, das Personal freundlich. Dass das Zimmer SO klein ist, kommt auf den Fotos nicht rüber. Eigentlich habe ich damit kein Problem, hier wurde ich doch leicht klaustrophobisch. Praktisch sind auch die Parkplätze und die Nähe zur "Passage". Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt okay.

This hotel was fantastic! The staff was super helpful and nice, and everything was designed so beautifully. Breakfast was amazing and even had gluten free options. The only reason for 4 stars was the noise level. We could hear people walking outside our window, and when anyone would close their door in the hallway, it was super loud. We also heard really loud construction hammering in the morning which was unfortunate. I would still absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone, I would only suggest that you bring earplugs with you. This isn't the fault of the hotel, it's just the way it's built. But honestly loved this place and would stay here again!

I had high hopes for this spot. It looks great, and it's close to everything you want to see in Akureyri, but some things aren't just coming together for them: 1) TV unit has to connect to guest Wifi, which is impossible so we had to hotspot our own device to use it (and the front desk had no idea how to fix, and said they were going to tell the manager, who never followed up) 2) the free breakfast is good, but it's chaos at times with limited utensils, crowding and sometimes things feel 'old' (ie cold soft boiled eggs). 3) the rooms are stuffy and there's no ventilation other than opening the window to the street. This makes for a less than restful sleep. I have high hopes for what they have planned but these little details made for some bumps that can easily be ironed out.

Breakfast was outstanding. Room was very small. It was fine for the one night I stayed but a longer stay would have been inconvenient.

Property had a very cool/unique design aesthetic. Loved that each room had a movie quote on the board outside, was just fun. The room we booked was tiny, which we knew at booking. Definitely wouldn't recommend one of those small rooms if you are travelling with very large or multiple pieces of luggage. We has one medium sized suitcase which was a squeeze but fine. Breakfast was great but space is very limited even with people spilling out into the lobby to eat
