Hotel Sveinbjarnargerdi
10/10 Excellent
"Good breakfast, and great location next to the lake. Got a free upgrade to the room with front lake view, from the sweet receptionist in front. Thanks a ton!"
"Lovely hotel in a great location.
The family room was huge with a seating area. Very comfortable bed and super shower.
Lovely staff, especially the young lady who was in the busy restaurant alone during dinner but managed to remain smiling throughout service.
Very nice breakfast but we were a bit disappointed by dinner. Limited choices and a lack of fresh salads etc.
We had a pizza from Daddi’s nearby one night. Very nice but expensive!
We swam at Laugar public pool - excellent. Also ate meat soup at the cafe on the main road at Laugar. Very good."
"Very comfortable 2-day stay at Centrum Hotel. My room was clean and everything worked they way it is supposed to. Although I didn't have an opportunity to eat or have a drink there, the downstairs bar looked very inviting."
"Perfect location. Can’t really beat the convenience of the location—at the very heart of Akureyri: shops and stores all around the hotel, even their iconic church is just a few steps away from outside! In general, the rooms are clean and stylish and we’ve had a pleasant experience staying here. However, the only downside would be the loud sounds of the cars passing by the roads"
"Room was spacious and we got to have a lake view. We were lucky to have a good weather and saw the aurora borealis. Staff were helpful. Love their location."
"The breakfast at Hotel Akureyri was fantastic! Waffles, eggs, fresh bread and rolls and fresh fruit among other delicious goodies! The hotel was in walking distance to many activities in the area and the staff was super helpful in finding a place for dinner. The rooms were very nice. The only negative side to this hotel was a lack of laundry service. When I booked this hotel in July 2025 for an April 2026 visit, the booking site said Hotel Akureyri had laundry services. They did not. But the rest of my visit there was amazing "
"Rooms are clean and have a view. Breakfast is good but very busy, tables filled up fast even at 7am. There were lots of skiers and families around with small children. "
