Top University of Akureyri Hotel Reviews

Akureyri - Berjaya Iceland Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"The lobby was relaxing and cozy and the rooms were so comfortable. One of the few places we got an actual king size bed. The shower pressure was great and it was spacious enough for our 3 suitcases."

Centrum Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very nice and clean. However, there was no hair dryer or extra roll of TP. I’m sure if I’d asked I would have been accommodated"

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."
