Hotel Akureyri

The hotel is beautiful, with an artistic atmosphere, guitars, paintings and architecture all over the hotel, and the breakfast is delicious. The space to eat is small, but you can use the tables in the lobby too, but the food is all homemade and of the highest quality, which is unforgettable. Only the hotel restaurant could close later, as we arrived at 9:00 pm and it was already closed, and the breakfast area could really be bigger, but the place is wonderful.

This hotel was very pleasant. We were able to park right outside, and the reception area was welcoming. Our room seemed to be newly decorated, with a nice shower. There was no view from our room, just a steep slope. There were a few minor issues with our room. There were no towel rails, or shelves, or drawers. The only hooks were so high I couldn't reach them. The headboard had curved edges, and the reading light was set on the wall, so it didn't provide any light to read. There was a coffee maker, but only one pod, no sugar, or milk. I requested a kettle but I was told they don't provide them. These were only minor things, but it gave the impression that the rooms had been designed to look good, rather than provide people with the things they need. The breakfast area was also badly designed. The food was of a good quality, but it was set out on a small counter, so very crowded. There was one very big table, and a large sofa, neither was very practical. Some people took their food through to reception, which was more comfortable, but a nuisance if you had forgotten anything. I would stay again, if I was in the area, but they need to rethink a few things to make it more practical.

Clean and comfy apartment, well equipped. The reception staff are friendly and welcoming. Our issues are that the arrival instructions advised we would receive check in details before our arrival, we never received them and had to ring the hotel, you just go to the bar to check in. The hotel needs to correct their instructions. The tiny breakfast room is chaos and is too small for the purpose. All the continental breakfast offerings are on one bar so everyone has to squeeze together like a rugby scrum. With only two hands it was impossible to get a juice, a small plate and a small bowl of cereal. Also there wasn’t enough food and utilities, the staff were constantly refilling all, leaving tetchy customers.

Tbh the best hotel in Akureyri. It is so contemporary and perfect.

Stayed at Hotel Akureyri for 1 night after coming from Westfjords. We couldn’t have made a better choice! We felt very welcomed at check-in (got the last room of the night). It was affordable and beds were very comfortable and just what we needed. Breakfast was delicious and gave us a great start for our day of driving. Also had a nice lobby/gathering space. Parking was convenient right out in front of the hotel. I wish we would have had more time to explore the town as it was beautiful! Loved this hotel and would stay here again and recommend it to others.
