The gentleman at the front desk was lovely and had a lot of wonderful recommendations. The small feel of the hotel was wonderful and the inclusion of breakfast was a huge perk! The view was beautiful and we were able to walk out our door and see the northern lights. Highly recommend!!!

Clean and Comfortable

Very clean and spacious room with all the needed amenities and a gorgeous view of the city across the water. Staff were friendly and unobtrusive, and the breakfast spread had some nice variety. Overall just had a very comfortable stay and will be back again next time I’m near the city!

Room was among the best of the trip, very large with a big bathroom. Very well appointed. Breakfast was typical Icelandic fare. Owner was great, but we arrived about 20 min prior to check in and were not greeted warmly. Easy drive to the city.

Excellent Choice in Akureyi.

Really well kept and feels new. Well located. Good Breakfast. The bed was great as was the linen. I didn’t like the pillows. Wish the room had a tea kettle.

Amazing views of Akureyri!

Hotels.com address was not correct. The location is actually closer to the turn off than indicated. If you use Google maps it will give you the accurate information. The hotel was super clean and had an amazing view. The host was very friendly, and the breakfast was great.

The views from the rooms are spectacular overlooking the city and estuary and the rooms are beautifully maintained with a great shower and bathroom. In the room was a coffee machine which during out stay was replenished daily. Breakfast was included and was buffet style with cold meats,cheese, pastries and fruit all very nice. The owner was very helpful with ideas for our stay. The drive into the city takes around 10 minutes and there is free evening parking in the centre. Highly recommended.

By far the best hotel we stayed at in Iceland. The hotel is situated upon a hill overlooking Akureyri and the magnificent waterfront. The room offers a breathtaking view of the waterfront and I felt like I could spend hours just staring at the view. The hotel has a handful of rooms and that adds to the very quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are quite clean and spacious and very elegantly furnished. The floor to ceiling windows and the private patio allow you to soak in the amazing view. We found the breakfast to be simple but yet wholly adequate. My wife and I are vegetarians but we felt very satisfied with the options on offer. The only very minor feedback we would have is to keep the slices of cheese separate from the slices of meat at breakfast. Since people tend to use the same serving fork for both the meat and cheese, the vegetarians may feel uncomfortable taking the cheese. There is also ample free parking available at the property.

On the hillside across the fjord from the airport and town, it was in the middle of having an extension when we were there (boy, Icelandic builders are hardy) so was a little out of sorts. That said, it is kept in immaculate order, and I’m sure the extension will be great. Currently it’s just 8 rooms, and won’t be so much bigger next year, but will have an internal lift so you don’t have to go outside to get to the lower rooms. There isn’t a restaurant, but the breakfast buffet is a good start to the day. If you have a car (and you really need one if you are traveling independently around here) it’s a short drive to downtown with a couple of gnarly turns after dark.
