Very cute hotel, good location. Breakfast was great - lots of options. Very easy walk into main city centre to shop and dine. We came on a sunday, so just parked in front of hotel because it was free. Staff very nice - got an upgraded room with more space which was great.

8/10 Very good

The hotel is right in downtown area so convienent to walk around and shop. Little dated hotel and no elevators to bring your luggage up but the staff did offer to bring it up. Rooms are clean but little old and outdated, Being near the main road there is noise and can hear people talking.
vineet, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice place with plenty of room. Good free breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff. Only downside if you have a lot of luggage is that there are no elevators and 1st floor is not lobby level. So possibility of having to carry luggage up 3 floors or curved stairs.
Gary, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is within easy walking distance of the bus stop, the harbor, downtown and many restaurants. There's no supermarket nearby, but the Netto is an easy bus trip. Hotelb staff were all cordial and answered my many questions cheerfully. The desk man even made calls to check on the status of my bus back to Reykjavik. I will stay here again when I return to Iceland during a warmer climate.
Bonnie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice but not totally as expected.

Quaint little hotel close to town. Very dated and in need of an update. The photos you see online don’t really represent the mold in the shower or the shower that is almost too small to be an RV shower. Bed was comfortable, staff were kind, breakfast was good. Curtains not sufficient to keep the light out so bring a mask if you come when it’s light all the time. Parking was essentially about 6 spaces across the street so get there early if you want to park for free.

4/10 Fair

We had a safety incident in this hotel.At 2 am a completely naked intruder opened our door and attempted to walk in. He could not fully open the door as I always wedge the door with a chair. The light from the hallway woke me up and I ran to the door yelling to him to stop him from coming in. I was able to stop him and secure the door. My husband, my 12 year old and I were very scared and called the police. The police came promptly but they could not find the intruder. The manager dismissed me by saying the records showed the door had not been opened since 10 pm. I was made to feel that I was exaggerated in my response, that I had probable left the door unsecured or that I was dreaming/confused and the guy probably was partying and got confused or was sleep walking. She made up so many excuses. She kept insisting that Iceland was totally safe. We are not sure how the intruder opened the electronic door. (Also, the door did not have in inside bolt or a fish eye.) The management did not have any compassion for our situation. They were more interested in defending themselves and excusing the intruder as a prank or a "confusion".I have remained anxious and have not been able to sleep well since this incident. Iceland might be a very safe country but there are bad people anywhere.

It was nice
Dinesh, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is right at the heart of Akureyri, excellent location, walkable distance to almost all tourist spots in town. Just a bit noisy at night as pedestrians are on their way to bars and restaurants, and crazy sports car revving at night during our stay, which is extremely disturbing. The hotel is rather old, well kept but it shows its age. Staffs are friendly, and lovely breakfast.
