Bryggjan Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property with a great view ! I was pleasantly surprised that breakfast was included, and it was really good. A great start to the day!"

Akureyri - Berjaya Iceland Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of our favorite stays while in Iceland. Located within walking distance of town. Staff was amazing with answering all questions we had. We had a few appetizers from restaurant which were great. The breakfast had everything you could ask for. Highly recommend…"

"Très bon choix"

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."

Akureyri Cottages

8/10 Good

"Outside of Cabin appeared a little rough but that was just normal age. Interior was great. Perfect for up to 6 people. Great amenities and just minutes from downtown."
