This is a nice hotel right in the heart of Akureyri. You can’t beat the location. We had a view of the church from our corner room. Breakfast was nice and staff was helpful.

Hotel conveniently located in Mývatn Lake District. Staff are friendly and helpful. I found the hotel cleanliness poor - rooms and overall hotel was worn out and needed fresh paint and flooring. I expected more for the price paid on the accommodations

Beautiful property and location. Very hot in rooms with the tiniest of windows and poor air circulation. Small fan provided but it didn’t help. Only one elevator made check in and checkout a slow process. Parking an issue too. Good amenities, Very nice staff.

It was okay. The location is great right in downtown area. Parking was easy. The hotel is okay. Our room was on street level so you heard people walk by all hours of the night. The room was hot but with the window open….on street level….is wasn’t very private or quiet. The breakfast was a disappointment especially as we paid extra for it. On our entire Iceland trip this was the most underwhelming breakfast. They ran out of many items and did not restock. Espresso based coffees were an extra charge .

This property is central within Akureyri. The people at the front desk were so nice and also helpful. We had no problem parking, but I think we got lucky. There is no dedicated parking, so you have to find a place on the street.

Outstanding customer service. Front desk helpful, courteous, and professional: from advice to local bookings to problem-solving. The location also is unbeatable: right in the heart of the town and just below the church on the hill, a major visual landmark.
