Basic room with a view to the "main street". Clean, quite peaceful, all good!

I would rather than live in another place even the place might far away from the main city. The bathroom needs to be improved.

We had two rooms; each small; but sufficient. Bathrooms very compact; showers bit small if you are taller person. They offered a shared space on the 4th floor with full kitchen and lounge area. There is no Elevator for luggage etc. There was no TV in the rooms; and no glasses either...you had to go to the 4th floor to get one if you wanted one. The staff here was cordial but not nearly as friendly and helpful as we had experienced at other locations. We did have dinner in their restaurant; and it was very good.

I really really liked it.
I would recommend it and I would gladly book again.
It was clean light and very central.
Freindly staff and freindly guests.
Good value for money. I booked because of the price and reviews.

My only criticism is that the only TV in this guesthouse did not work. Otherwise, for value and location, this guesthouse is excellent. The staff at the restaurant next door, standing in for reception, were also very friendly and helpful.

I think that for the price, this guest house compares well with others around there. It has an interesting quaintness as complemented by the neighboring businesses and interesting tourist attractions.

My room in guesthouse was on third floor and was spacious and clean. My room did not have a private bathroom, so I had use of two shared bathrooms at end of corridor. The shower doors on showers in both bathrooms were broken, doors were basically hanging off their hinges, one was so bad shower was unusable, other one broken enough for door not to close, so water leaked onto floor. There was a hole in ceiling above shower in one bathroom. There were very few places available in Akureyri, so prices were inflated and for £123 per night, this accommodation was appalling. I was staying 2 more nights on my return to Akureyri and had unfortunately paid in advance on a non-refundable rate, thankfully only £65 per night this time. I spoke to one of the owners on my return to property and showed her photos of the broken showers and hole in ceiling to give them a chance to fix things before submitting a review. She said she would get her husband to look at it, but when I left 2 days later, the bathrooms were still in the same appalling state, I can only assume they are not really interested in fixing these issues. The owner seemed shocked at the state of the bathrooms when I showed her the photos, but there is no excuse for owners not to know about this, even if other guests did not report it, what about the cleaning staff, what about the owners inspecting their own premises once in a while? Suggests they don't care about their guests. Would not recommend and would not stay again.

Pros : area was great. Free parking nearby (not on site). Bars and shops right out front. Easy to find. Good comuunal space and kitchen
Cons : blood drops on my bedding. Shared bathrooms at end of hall were not clean. Shower doors were hanging off the hinges. No elevator. Very loud. Could hear toilets flushing from my room, and very heavy doors closing repeatedly.

It was a great experience. Only complaint is the outlet is on one side and above the bed. No place to put the iPhone charger unless no one is sleeping on the bed. Other than that minor inconvenience, its a great Guesthouse!

It was not so good to have a cat inside the gesthouse. The cat was in the livingroom and there was hair everywhere. It was not good.
2.0
The hotel is in a busy section of the city, so parking is a little hard. But it's very close to the botanic garden and the famous church. The receptionist helped us out getting a table at the restaurant owned by Apotek. The food was pretty good. We had a good breakfast at a nearby bakery a few buildings down the street.

Perfect for a night’s stay. Centrally located but quiet come nighttime. Clean and comfortable—everything a traveller needs!

The guesthouse is not so clean. The rubbish is not empty in the bathroom and it seems it was not cleaned when we arrived. the bed sheets look not nice, should be renew for a long time ago.

More like a hostel, walls were thin and you could hear other rooms. Shower is a walk down the hallway. Blinds did not block all the light so visiting in the summer be aware of this and maybe bring an eye mask. Comfy bed though and nice staff!
3.0
Excellent placed guesthouse, unfortunately with glass parts found both in living room and on terrasse. Radiators not able to turn down, and due to a ship in harbour with a hollow and noisy mast, opening of windows not an option

Great location close to a lot of restaurants. Free street parking was great and the owner was very friendly when she met us upon arrival. We couldn’t get hot water to work in our room shower, but the shared showers got really hot and were great. For the price, it was a great stay!

we loved its location, the penthouse was very spacious and good facilities. Bathroom shower just let it down- rail seemed broken in middle and when used water went over floor and around toilet area. Loved the town it was in.

Fantastic stay. Clean rooms and common areas. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately the property was noisy. The toilets flushing in the building were loud and the common room above our bedroom was noisy with people walking around on wooden floors. Should have realised by seeing the basket of earplugs on the reception desk.

Overall a great place to stay. Friendly staff (and cat). Quiet. The kitchen area was good as long as other guests cleaned up. On nice warm days there is a patio with views to the west. I stayed there 4 nights (with private bathroom) and was lucky to park the car on the street right outside during the night and weekend. The street has only 15 min parking between 10am and 4pm Mon-Fri. Many stores and restaurant.

The 3BR penthouse unit was perfect for our family of 5. The apt was larger than anywhere else we stayed in Iceland. The location was perfect, right on the main street, easy to walk to shops and restaurants. The living room was enormous and let us spread out while relaxing. We stayed only 1 night but would have loved to stay more. The town of Akureyri is a great location to stay to take day trips to Husavik and Lake Myvatn.

Our stay began with a wonderful conversation with the front desk staff where he advised us on the best beer spot for happy hour and looked up the weather for our trip. On his advice, we changed our upcoming plans so as to avoid a surprise blizzard! Phew! The room itself is impeccably clean, simple and beautiful. There is a sink in the room which was very convenient and the shower/bathrooms down the hall are clean and just right. The common area and kitchen is lovely - the full kitchen is very well equipped. All around, a lovely stay in a lovely city. And the price was phenomenal!

The host at the reception Daniel was very helpful and nice. He helped us understand great things to do in the area and recommended a hidden gem. The guesthouse itself was very clean and great comfort on the beds. Its located on the most popular street in Akureyri and would highly recommend it to all travelers.
