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.

The location can't be beat for hotel Kea, smack dab in the center of Akureyri, yet quiet enough that in early morning your sleep isn't disturbed. The staff was friendly, and parking was very easy. Our only complaint is the rooms were incredibly small and the photos are deceiving. The TV as an example is tucked into an office nook and cannot be accessed and seen from the bed. For a one night stay though it was quaint, comfortable, and convenient.

Great location. Lots of dining and shopping in walking distance. No hotel parking, but there is a loading/unloading area in front of the hotel and free parking within walking distance. Our room windows were facing the stairs for the nearby church/tourist site, so not as quite or private as I would have liked.
Church and hotel.

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.
