Top University of Akureyri Hotel Reviews

Hotel Halond

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Hafnarstræti Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Extremely clean! Wasn't expecting my first ever hostel to be this nice. Capsules you stay in are super cool and you have provacy! Highly recommend *** No parking on site"

Hotel Norðurland

8/10 Good

"If you want a hotel that’s near restaurants, cafes or any stores, I would love to recommend this hotel bc you can just walk. It says they don’t have laundry facilities but if you’re looking for few nights that’s fine. It’s not so quiet because it’s in the middle of town but great if you want to explore. I would recommend to put the sign “dnd” to your door if you’re staying at morning or noon."

Skald Akureyri, Curio Collection by Hilton

Akureyri Backpackers

10/10 Excellent

"right in middle of downtown convenient location, very clean washroom. we only needed to use kitchen for a quick breakfast, but there is no sink (for water) or garbage bin. The bar downstairs had music on until after midnight."

Torg Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the hotel except there's no staff there to help you. You have to communicate the entire time online. No parking onsite and you have to park in a public lot a few blocks away. It wasn't too bad but slightly inconvenient. The only thing I would strongly suggest is to provide better sun blocking curtains. During the summer the sun and their street lights are not good to get sleep. Please provide better darkening curtains or shade. The location was exceptional though and would definitely stay again."
