3-Star Hotels in Akureyri

I’m writing this review on my first night staying at this hotel. The location is great, the property is beautiful, and the staff are lovely, but I can’t give this hotel a high rating because they have fallen into the trap of prioritizing “design” over comfort, when design *should be* comfort in a hotel. The bathrooms are very problematic. The *number one* priority when it comes to bathrooms is privacy, and these bathrooms have absolutely none. A sliding glass door separates the toilet from the room. You may as well be sitting on the toilet in the middle of the room. (Never mind the fact that if you turn on the bathroom light in the middle of the night it will illuminate the entire room.) The shower is completely open onto the room, so if my partner wakes up early tomorrow, I really can’t sleep in. And why, in 2024, are there not outlets next to the bed? This is basic stuff. Putting aside the fact that it just makes charging one’s phone inconvenient, there are other more important things to consider. My partner uses a CPAP machine. Without an outlet next to the bed, we have to plug the machine in to the outlet that is on the other side of the bathroom door, which is going to be a tripping hazard in the middle of the night. I’m not looking forward to another night here. It’s very, very disappointing.

Upon arrival at the apartment, the reception is no longer staffed. On the door hangs a phone number where you can reach the apartment. The person on the other side of the phone first asks us why we do not use the code that we should have received by e-mail. Checked E-Mail Account - mentioned E-mail missing. According to the apartment, this would be sent two days in advance. Since we had not booked two days in advance - impossible. So now checked in by phone, everything ok. On to the first real point of criticism. When opening the room door, a strong smell hits you, which tries to cover the bathroom smell - long airing with a wide open window creates some relief. When checking the bed, one finds reddish, brownish stains on the bed cover - very unattractive. We were accommodated in room 25. The location is unfortunately unfavorable. The room gets the full street noises. Now to our biggest point of criticism: from about 00:30am until after 02:00am, an Asian tour group turned night into day! The hotel cannot be held responsible for human stupidity and antisocial behavior such as door slamming, loud talking and laughing in the corridors. Such behavior can unfortunately happen anytime and anywhere, but an entrance door that slams into the lock so loudly every single time that everyone in the hotel must hear it and you are always startled out of your sleep is simply unacceptable. Last but not least, the tour group had finished their party - thank goodness, and you thought peace would turn in, the small refrigerator inside the room started up. Humming loudly, it wouldn't let you fall asleep for another perceived eternity. All in all, this was unfortunately the worst and most nerve-wracking accommodation of our 15-day Iceland tour so far. We can not recommend this apartment, nor would we come back again.

Guesthouse in excellent location, clean, comfortable rooms. A few suggestions: it is difficult to check in - it is mandatory to call when you arrive. Check-in time unclear, on the site returns 6 PM, the house returns 4 PM, on the phone say 5 PM ... For the rest, I recommend the visit.

A modern apartment hotel, the on-site parking lot can park about ten cars, but there is a paid parking lot directly opposite, only a dozen meters away. Check in with the password, the room is spacious, the dining living room area has windows facing the street, but opening the curtains will be confused with the passers-by... The noise of the vehicle passing by will also have a little impact, for this bedroom area to be placed on the inside, resulting in the door to the bed... The hotel is equipped with an efficient washing machine and drying Machine, walking to the church and the sea, surrounded by shopping streets and restaurants, very suitable for a rest stop

In short notice, we needed an overnight stay in Aukereyri. We found Hrafninn as the Cheapest! place with available room with private bath at a price of 370 Euro.!!! We ordered the room the same day we should stay overnight. We got information of the location of the hostel. At arrival, there were no PIN code available for our room. Nobody in the reception. We called the telephone number that we found on the wall. A person said she will come and lock us in our room. After 10 minutes waiting, she arrived, and gave us our pin code. We asked if the price included breakfast?? First she said no, but after checking it, she told us that the room was included breakfast. She told us we had to walk approx. 10 min to another Hotel to get the breakfast next morning. The room was in the basement, and we had to walk down a pretty steep and narrow stair. The room was ok, with private bathroom. The sofa in the room was not good to sit on It was broken, and when we tried to sit on it, we almost sat on the floor! There was a TV, but no remotecontrol to turn on the TV!! Next morning we walked the 10 mins to the other hotel for breakfast. She sat in the reception, and we told here we are here for the breakfast. THEN she told us, sorry, I was wrong yesterday, the room is NOT includet with breakfast. You have to pay an extra 40 Euro for the breakfast!! All in All. For the price of 370 Euro, we expected higher Quality, and altso she could offer us breakfast when we had been walking 10 min to get the breakfast she told us was included in the price. Room and service was way overpriced. First and last time we stayed here.

Wonderful room, accommodating and cozy hotel. The breakfast was fresh and delicious and the staff was very kind. The concierge doubled as a bar, so we were able to order and take drinks into the room which was a nice plus. The lobby was like that of your favorite older relative who has stories about places all over the world and the trinkets to prove it. I really wish I could have stayed here longer but we were quite limited in time. It's not within the city center but if you have a car, it's literally a minute drive down the mountain.

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.

房間間大小合適，乾淨衞生。早餐還不錯。城市風景好。免費停車，服務人員好。

My husband, teenage daughter, and I enjoyed staying one night in a triple (a queen bed and a twin bed) with a private bath. This modern hotel with a Scandanavian feel is centrally located, including close to the beautiful Botanical Garden and the harbour area. The room is large, clean and well appointed. There's plenty of room in the closets as well. The bathroom was good sized as well. The breakfast was a combination of hot and cold dishes, so we filled up until dinner. The hotel was packed with tour groups, but it was quiet at night. The hotel staff was helpful and courteous. When we needed to arrange for a reimbursement of our cancelled whale watch due to bad weather, the hotel manager graciously placed the call to the company and explained to them in Icelandic what our inquiry was about (we received the reimbursement).

This is a hotel in the downtown area of Akreli. The bar is downstairs. It is open until late. We stayed very late. The room is very large. There is a separate kitchen and bathroom. There is also a large balcony. You can see the street in the city center. There is no front desk. There is a bar waiter. We arrived late, we couldn't connect to Wi-Fi, we only connected the next morning, the kitchen utensils did not have knives, others had
