Akureyri hotellia

Plussat: The atmosphere and the location were nice. Friendly staff and nice breakfast.

Miinukset: Paper-thin pillows that do not allow you to sleep comfortable, bed sheets look a bit old.

Plussat: Very dynamic and lively place in the hyper centre of the city. Comfortable beds, warm even if in Iceland haha. Stylish bar/restaurant there and obviously chilled and very helpful staff. Amazing ratio price/quality!

Miinukset: Everything fine ;)

Plussat: Great location, atmosphere, and everything well cleaned

Miinukset: Private rooms on upper floor are really noisy, because of the wooden floor. Woke us up several times since when guests are coming up you immediately hear it

Plussat: Hostellin sijainti oli todella hyvä! Eli täysin Akureyrin keskustassa. Hostelli oli siisti ja siellä tutustui helposti uusiin ihmisiin. Keittiössä oli kaikki tarvittavat välineet, joten ravintoloihin ei tarvinnut tuhlata joka ilta sitä 30€:a pizzaan. Hostelli yön hintakin oli todella sopiva kaltaiselleni budjettimatkaajalle, vain 36€/yö. Kannattaa kuitenkin ottaa korvatulpat mukaan, sillä alakerrassa on baari, jossa saatetaan juhlia kolmeen asti yöllä ja ulkona olevien ihmistenkin äänet kuuluvat todella hyvin hostellihuoneisiin.

Miinukset: En pitänyt siitä, että alakerran baarissa juhlittiin yömyöhään, ja minun piti herätä aikaisin aamulla, jotten myöhästyisi lennoltani...

Plussat: Friendly staff, warm and cozy interior! Good food and rooms, what else?

Miinukset: One of the girls asked me to leave the hostel because I was not buying anything in the restaurant. Even the restaurant was not busy and I stayed there the last 2 nights. prices are very expensive. And its named a Backpacker place. They just care you spend your Money charging you for everyhting.

Plussat: We've travelled all around Iceland and Akureyri Backpackers is on top of our list. It's beautifully decorated , warm , full of life and joy. It has a fully functioning kitchen, nice bathrooms and wash/dry machine for your clothes (with a small cost). At the ground floor they have a wonderful bar/restaurant - you should try it !! 3

Plussat: I would like to see the level available for the room type is stated in booking.com. Because this will help me decide as most visitors from far flung Asian countries will have substantial heavy luggage. We have to carry our heavy luggage up 4th floor and its spoils the mood when you are tired after driving the whole day. This comment applies to all hostels and guesthouses.

Miinukset: To improve ventilation at the common shower area in the basement. There is a strong moldy smell once we step into the basement.

Plussat: great food (conform to icelandic standards :))) and great personell

Miinukset: parking... take care about big parking in the back on main street

Plussat: Hostellin sijainti Akureyrissä oli ihan keskeinen. Majoitus oli 10 päivän Islannin-kiertoreissulla hinta-/laatusuhteeltaan aivan ylivoimainen ja vaikuttikin olevan hyvin suosittu, silti rauhallinen yöpymiseen. Jaetut suihkutilat, kopit omilla puolillaan, alakerrassa olivat siistit. Ehdoton bonus oli sauna (yhteinen/uikkari-).

Plussat: awesome plac to chill!

Plussat: Huone oli siisti, mutta ei kovin viihtyisä

Miinukset: Huone oli neljännessä kerroksessa, talossa ei ole hissiä. Suihkutilat olivat kerroksessa -1 eli melkoinen matka. Henkilökunta ei ollut kovin ammattitaitoista ja asiakaspalvelukin oli melko huonoa. Parkkipaikka ei ollut hotelllin välittömässä läheisyydessä.

Plussat: The people have been nice to talk to and I am still waiting for a refund because we did not stay there, my husband uses a walker and I asked for a railing or minimum to no steps and there were many steps and only two cars could park there, we were number three...great location so it was wALKING DISTance to downtown, it was a very pretty area to visit.

Plussat: The apartment is well decorated and the bed is comfy the shower is nice

Miinukset: The bathroom is small Does not have elevator Do not have parking on site

Plussat: In a great position.very clean and cosy.so handy to the shops.

Miinukset: Stairs were hard to manage.Had to get used to low ceiling in bed and bath room.

Plussat: good location

Miinukset: walls are like paper

Plussat: Bath hot water is good.

Miinukset: One room no window.

Plussat: Very good price, great location, clean and warm

Miinukset: Noisy floor but expect in an old house.

Plussat: Excellent location in the heart of akureyri. Room had good kitchen utilities.

Miinukset: Room is very small. It felt very tight even for 2 people.

Plussat: The apartment was OK, had a kitchen, the bathroom was a bit dated but clean. They had weird rules about cooking. No garlic/onions and no heavy cooking otherwise they will fine you and the fine is min 300 euro if remember correctly. Of course we don't do heavy cooking when we travel, I don't think anybody does but still, I feel they need to mention it before people book.

Miinukset: The major issue was the location. It was downtown and did not come with parking but the description made you feel like it's easy to park near by. Well, it's not. We parked at the place that was suggested in the pamphlet we found in the apartment and received parking ticket for $100 + processing fee the next day. The pamphlet said it's free until 10 am next day. Our ticket time was 9:54 am and the ticket stated we can not park there ( we asked rental agency to translate). And of course we don't understand Icelandic, we can't read the signs so .... Do yourself a favor and rent a place that comes with the parking. The city is very small so no point to struggle with parking.

Miinukset: Did not have the correct room. Only one double bed and we asked for 2 single.... we had to book somewhere else...

Plussat: Very clean and cozy, has a nice interior and very helpful staff

Miinukset: First floor lacks bathroom area, as there are more people around and it is only one shower around. As well, walking distance a bit far from the city center

Plussat: Excellent team and great suggestions for day trips

Miinukset: Not applicable

Plussat: Each bed has an electrical outlet and separate light. There is a bonus supermarket next block.

Miinukset: the cooking area is rather small, but seating is sufficient.

Plussat: Everything!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Keittiöstä löytyy kaikki tarpeellinen.

Miinukset: Aika massaturisti meninki. Sängyt pitää pedata itse ja myös toimittaa pois lähtiessä käytävälle pyykkivaunuihin.

Plussat: This hotel is located at the top of a hill right in town. We had views of the mountains around us and the water below. What more can I say...loved it!

Plussat: Iso huone, erillinen suihkutila.

Miinukset: Hotellille jyrkkä nousu keskustassa. Vieressä olevan campingalueella möykättiin puolille öihin.

Plussat: Clean, and nice hotel. Good value for the money.

Miinukset: Location of bathroom was odd and uncomfortable. If is right behind the head of the bed and you hear everything. Other than that good rooms.

Plussat: Very nice hotel next to the swimming pools and very close to Akureyri botanic garden. Walking distance from the city centre. Unfortunatelly we spent only one night in the hotel and continue our round road trip in the morning. Would be great to stay longer. Maybe next time ;-)

Miinukset: A bit expensive dinners, but that's nothing new in Iceland for most of Europeans ;-)

Plussat: From breakfast to dinner, the food and service were excellent. Some of the best coffee I've had in Iceland, and being across the street from the pool was an added bonus. Also, walking distance from the center of town and the coastal boardwalk. Would definitely go again.

Miinukset: Honestly, I can't think of anything wrong with the place. The only thing I don't like is being forced to write a certain amount of words for a review even though I have no negative thoughts whatsoever about the place.

Plussat: Very warm welcome from the front office. Arrived just before 6pm, so qualified for the Happy Hour (4pm - 6pm) Ha Ha Nice dinner and very friendly staff.

Plussat: Good location

Miinukset: Shelf above bed, hit head on it, can’t read in bed. Poor bathroom design

Plussat: Super clean and neat; very helpful staff; excellent breakfast buffet

Miinukset: too many blinking, winking and annoying lights in the room from electronics, smoke alarms etc

Plussat: Great location and friendly staff

Miinukset: Elevator was broken, and the bed was the most uncomfortable of our entire stay.

Plussat: Ystävällinen ja palveluhenkinen henkilökunta. Hyvä aamupala.

Miinukset: Sokkeloinen pohjaratkaisu. Teenjuojia ei huomioitu samalla tavalla kuin kahvinjuojia.

Plussat: Hyvä ja runsas aamiainen.

Miinukset: Huoneessa ei ollut ilmanvaihtoa.

Plussat: Nice breakfast spread. Great location.

Miinukset: Due to a recent remodel, we had to go up to the third floor and then down a long hallway, take a small set of stairs, followed by another elevator to get to our room. This was very inconvenient for traveling with luggage or had one of us been disabled.

Plussat: Great location near restaurants and shops. Clean, comfortable room with view of water. Breakfast buffet had nice selection. Nearby parking is free on the weekend. Very nice restaurants on site. Would recommend.

Plussat: Very central, harbor just acrossed the street, Smart TV, shops and restaurants close to hotel

Miinukset: Just a few hotel parking spaces, other parking spaces next to the hotel owned spaces are fee-based, hotel staff recommended other parking spaces around the corner which should be free of charge but they aren’t. Hotel itself is not the newest one.

Plussat: Nice hotel with friendly and helpful staff, we had a swim in the local geothermal pool up the road and elected to eat in one of the many eating places close to the hotel.. we had breakfast in the hotel, which was excellent.

Plussat: Very good location.

Miinukset: My room is possible to see through by tourist for the church. I couldn’t open the window side curtaim at all.

Plussat: Aamupala ja sijainti.

Miinukset: Suihkusta ja hanasta tuleva vesi haisi pahalle ja oli todella sameaa.

Plussat: Good location!!!

Plussat: Best location in town. Very near to all spots.

Plussat: Siisti mukava hotelli loistavalla paikalla Akureyrin keskustassa. Useita ravintoloita lähellä ja lisää kävelymatkan päässä ja erittäin mukava kaupunkiulkoilmakylpylä liukumäkineen reilun 5. min kävelymatkan päässä. Aamiainen loistavan runsas. Muutamia parkkipaikkoja hotellin edessä ja lisää paikoitustilaa lähettyvillä.

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Upeat näköalat. Erinomainen aamupala. Hyvä sänky.

Plussat: I like breakfast

Miinukset: 6 people Family room 5 beds with a sofa bed(not show in pic).

Plussat: Aamiainen

Miinukset: Spa oli vain kylpytynnyri

Plussat: The breakfast was plentiful, lots of variety. The staff that served breakfast were very friendly. We loved the hot tub & the general cosiness if the hotel

Miinukset: Might have been nice to have a fridge & some more storage

Plussat: Vastaanotosta hoidettiin ongelmakohdat viipymättä sekä palvelua sai myös resepan ollessa kiinni.

Miinukset: Aamupala oli luvattu etukäteen jo klo 5.30, mutta siihen tarjoutui mahdollisuus vasta klo 7.30, lähtömme jälkeen.

Plussat: - The receptionist was very helpful and friendly. Knowing we were from Malta, he started talking to us about his childhood memories when he and his family visited Malta for their summer holidays. - The use of the open air hot tub (area is still under construction) and the free indoor UV sauna. - The rabbits running freely around the hotel. - The room and en-suite bathroom were quite simple but still comfortable and clean. - The quiet surroundings, even though you see and hear some aeroplanes landing or taking off (airport is not so far from hotel).

Miinukset: It happened that during that night, a large group of persons from a particular country were coming to spend a night there. Receptionist informed us that the hotel restaurant was booked for them in the evening. This group even brought their chefs to cook their traditional cuisine. He recommended us some good restaurants in the centre. Part of the breakfast hall was also reserved for them, leaving little space for the remaining residents to stay freely where we wished. This group was very noisy.

Plussat: Kokonaisuudesta. Maisema, huone, hotelli,aamiainen.

Plussat: Nice, clean, modern hotel with en-suite bathrooms and good facilities (including sauna and hot-tub!). Quiet location a few kilometers from Akureyri. Really helpful, flexible and understanding staff - the dates of my stay changed due to the weather and I needed to leave very early in the morning; they were very helpful in accommodating the changes and left me coffee and muffins for an early breakfast as I would be missing the normal breakfast included in the room price.

Miinukset: Not convenient for walking into Akureyri (too far away). Otherwise, no dislikes!

Plussat: Great value for money in low season! Well located surrounded by a Forrest. Super friendly staff with great recommendations where to dine out. Hot tub outside in the cold watching clear sky and stars was a delight!

Plussat: Oma kylpyhuone, joka oli puhdas ja moderni.

Miinukset: Aamupalamusiikkina oli joululauluja. Hiljaisuus olisi kivempi.

Plussat: Hyvä, että hotellille sai tuoda matkatavarst säilytykseen ennen sisäänkirjautumista.

Plussat: The Hotel is in City Centre near to the Bus Station and Every nice location...Very Good Breakfast

Plussat: Conveniently located in the city. Spacious room.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli hyvä, kalanmaksaöljyäkin tarjolla!

Plussat: The front desk (Stevan) was very helpful with me.

Miinukset: No elevator

Plussat: The hotel captured the wonderful "old Iceland" that we knew and loved, before the herd of "Buss Tourists" swarmed over the island. The staff was wonderful, the breakfast was good, the entire experience was a delight.

Plussat: The hotel is in an excellent location in the middle of town, it was very easy to walk everywhere. The room was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. There was a variety of items available for breakfast and everything we had was excellent. Extra bonus, it's across the street from an ice cream store!

Miinukset: We would have liked an elevator, but the staff offered to help us with our bags.

Plussat: Very cute hotel in a great location. Close to the city center and the waterfront. Great breakfast! Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Rooms were a little dated but they were clean and we'll equipped. Not a big deal for me but thought I would mention it.

Plussat: It is better for kitchen. But it is b1.

Miinukset: 1. Lots of words are limited for staying peoples. It is not better for living style. 2. It is lack of toilet papers. 3. Why other peoples that stay in 1 F or other floors use our bathroom in 2 F? We need to wait for more than 1 hour.

Plussat: It was comfortable, like a home. The owner came to meet us and was very nice. Laundry facilities were a bonus!

Miinukset: There were no paper towels available. I would suggest they be added. There was a spill on the kitchen floor and it was difficult to know how to clean it up. Paper towel would have been very useful.

Plussat: Self check in WiFi Roomy bathroom Comfortable room Drapes! Kitchen and living room Night stand lamp

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location is perfect. Amma guesthouse has the most comfortable duvets in the world :D really loved it. Kitchen is well equipped.

Miinukset: Bottle opener for wine :)

Plussat: Super cool owner Gunnar !! Simple room, awesome touched bed light 2 night there, was great Kitchen , room and living room is clean Great place walk distance from main area

Miinukset: Maybe have TV in room will be great Other than that, all is perfect

Plussat: The location is easy to find. The bathroom is spacious. Host is attentive to us when the given room was wrong. Easy check in. The property itself is clean as everyone who enter the room need to take off the shoes at the entrance.

Miinukset: We are booking a room for 4 but the room comes with 1 queen/king bed with one single bed only. Thankfully the sofa was good enough to fit one more. But with the price we paid, this is still acceptable.

Plussat: Location was good as were the other residents of the home. Room was small. Staff was helpful.

Plussat: Hieno sijainti, kiva skandinaavinen sisustus, siisti, hyvä aamupala. Kissat!

Miinukset: Näkymä sisäpihalle ja ruokasaliin pakotti pitämään verhot kiinni aamuisin ja iltaisin.

Plussat: Everything was fine, from the hotel to the staff! It was wonderful waking up to see the fiorde right in front of us!

Miinukset: Nothing to say...

Plussat: This was a great place to stay just outside of Akureyri. The room was small but clean and comfortable with a big window for viewing the aurora, and next to the dining area was a comfortable lounge area with spectacular views of the snow capped mountains and the fjord. The breakfast was the best selection of our trip so far, and coffee and tea were available all the time, which was great after being outdoors in the cold. The concierge was fantastic! We had been traveling the ring road and had to do laundry so we asked for the location of a laundromat. He let us use the hotel’s laundry facility for free. He also scraped the frost from the windshields as people were checking out. We stayed two nights as a rest stop after some pretty intense road trip days and it was a great, comfortable place to take a rest before continuing on the other half of the trip. It’s close to downtown Akureyri, and it’s also very close to a sweet little museum of a turf and stone farm called Laufás, that was a very pleasant surprise just down the street.

Plussat: Location, staff informed us about sighting northern lights which allowed us to get an unexpected view!

Miinukset: No glasses or cups in the room

Plussat: Spacious room, good breakfast and a great hot tub

Plussat: Nice and well located, room with private bathroom and good breakfast.

Plussat: The location, staff and the overall feel.loved it

Miinukset: We were very keen to use the kitchen facilities but unfortunately could not as not offered by the property

Plussat: I was so impressed with this hotel! I wasn't expecting much given the price I paid, but this was probably my favourite hotel out of all of the ones I stayed at in Iceland over 10 days. The view of the sunset from the hotel was beautiful (overlooking the fjord and mountains), and in the evening I was able to see the northern lights from my room as well. The breakfast was really nice and included warm options. There is also free coffee/espresso and tea available to all guests in the main dining area. There's also a hot tub, which is just amazing under the northern lights. The staff member who greeted me was very friendly and was able to provide me with excellent advice for things to do in Husavik (which is where I was headed the next day). Definitely staying here again if I'm near Akureyri.

Miinukset: The washroom was a bit cramped.

Plussat: Sijainti hyvä ja aamupala.

Plussat: Meidät upgreidattiin isoon huoneeseen, joka oli erityisen hyvä! Huoneesta upea näköala vuonoon.

Plussat: The staff was very responsive and super friendly. The place was clean, comfy and right in the heart of the town.

Miinukset: Everything was great
