Guest Reviews
- Justine (6/5): - Likes: - Nearby a shopping center that conveniently had gas, grocery store, and pharmacy in same location quiet neighborhood - Bed and bedding were comfortable - Didn’t receive check-in instructions in my email but after calling the manager was quick to send information and answer questions Dislikes: - Shower was clogged and the shower was very shallow so water filled up the shower very quickly. I had to turn off the water and wait for it to drain while showering. - Rooms had no place to hang up clothes or towels to dry - The building itself looked dilapidated but inside was fine - Main light in the bedroom didn’t work
- Robert (8/5): - Enjoyed our stay.
- Vanessa (10/5): - Great location, big family room, share bathroom very clean
- Illia (10/5): - We liked the simplicity of check-in and the tea!
- BEN (10/5): - nice place to stay
- Joachim (8/5): - Okay vor a few nights, probably more suitable for younger persons. Washroom and kitchen were communal, but it worked out okay because all guests were considerate.
- Daniela (10/5): - Nice guesthouse right in the center of the city. We loved our stay.
- Emilie (10/5): - It was nice !
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location
- Vincent (10/5): - The location on one of the main streets in the beautiful city of Akureyri was superb. We could walk around and there was plenty to see and do. Nice bonus was the discount at the bakery next door!
- Ella (8/5): - Stort å fint rom. Men dessverre var madrassen ubehagelig, hard og vond. Rolig og godt plassert, midt i sentrum
- Wenbo (8/5): - Clean and quite, reasonable price.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Traveler Beware - Booked a family room on Hotels.com, that stated it had a queen bed and two twin beds with a private bathroom. When I arrived onsite there was no onsite check in, just a speaker on the door to press a button to check in. No one answered. The door just opened. Our name was on a board for self check in. When we got to the room up 4 flights of stairs no elevator, the room only had 1 queen bed and a couch. No private bathroom, but a bathroom and shower shared with 4 other rooms. When we called, they stated they had no rooms with private bathrooms, that it was a mistake on Hotel.com website. We then ended up seeing that we were charged over $100 more for the room than shown and there was no one at the hotel to discuss the charges with. Traveler beware.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - No staff at arrival. Existing guests had to unlock door. No directions on parking provided prior to arrival. Carpets on stairs poorly maintained. Bathrooms at end of hall. Property very noisy but left ear plugs. Very expensive for a poor value. Only location in city was good and room clean. Otherwise very expensive for what is provided. Disappointing.
- Rebecca (4/5): Loud, basic - This hostel was very loud from both street noise and hall/kitchen noise. There was nobody on the property to talk to about any issues. I never saw a single employee/owner. There was a large party on our floor (we had room 21) that decided to have a very loud dinner from 10:30PM to after midnight. They were so loud (slamming doors and dishes and talking as loud as if they were in a club) that my husband finally, after about an hour and a half, askdd them to be quiet. He shouldn't have to confront other guests; someone who works there should been there to quell it. The street noise was equally awful on Saturday night (Sunday night's street noise was better), and the window would not close all the way so it could not be stifled. Bathrooms were okay. Beds were fine (not comfy but fine).
- Charity (8/5): Great place, amazing location - Fantastic location, good price, very helpful staff, spacious room and kitchens on each level made this an overall lovely stay! It really had everything we needed, including a fridge that fit plenty of food (long story, we had to bring in a weeks’ worth of groceries unexpectedly), convenient bathrooms, nice shower, and plenty of space to cook. My only (relatively minor) complaint is that the common spaces needed a little more cleaning attention: no hand towels in the bathroom and a coffee maker with used grounds in it that no one had looked inside in waaaaay too long. That being said, I would definitely recommend this place, no question.
- Bjarki (4/5): Ágætt gistiheimili - Var sæmilegt það var sagt innritunin átti að vera kl 2 en fékk herbergið ekki fyrr en eftir 3
- Gleb (8/5): - The hostel was clean. Had to call to check in. Noone on sight
- Verified traveler (10/5): Ánægjulegt - Gott verð, góð staðsetning og mjög snyrtilegt.
- Rebeca Kasue (10/5): Ótima localização - Quarto muito confortável, muito bem localizado. Check-in facilitado.
- kim-anh (10/5): charming guesthouse - center of downtown - comfortable room with big windows, had shared kitchen and bathroom. no staff on premise. very great location. offers discounts at neighboring cafes and bakeries.
- Parisa (10/5): Good stay! - The guesthouse was situated within walking distance of shops and restaurants. WiFi was great! The only issue was the call button for check in was out of service, so we couldn’t get into the building until some other guests let us in. Hopefully they fixed that. Everything else was great.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Dvölinn a þessum stað var geggjuð eg mæli með þessum stað og mun pottþett boka aftur hjá þeim
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice guesthouse in the center of the city. We arrived after sunset and will leave before sunrise, but it looks like a nice city. Room was simple, but fine for a night sleep.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very simple and efficient check in, clean rooms and bathroom/shower. Right in the heart of downtown and by the harbour. Highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel is in a central location, making it easy to reach the main attractions without driving. The kitchen is well equipped and spotlessly clean.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Habitación cómoda, amplia y camas adecuadas Cocina pequeña y con poco menaje para todas las habitaciones de la planta
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Zentrale Lage. Parken etwas kompliziert. Shopping Möglichkeiten. Ein wenig klein für drei Reseenden.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Excellent location, facilities are convenient, grab some items at the grocery store and cook here! Room is really clean, just like the pictures!
- Ladina (8/5): - Very pretty property in the centre of town, within easy walking distance of all the attractions and the nice restaurants. The property itself is decorated with a lot of care and attention to detail and this makes it very welcoming. The hosts have also anticipated all kinds of needs a guest may have, such as ear plugs for noisy midsummer nights in the centre of town :-). Very nice property! Can definitely recommend it!
- sheila (6/5): - Description said "shared in-room bath" Since there were 3 of us, we thought it would be shared between our two rooms, rather than shared with the whole floor. We would not have booked otherwise, but okay for a college dorm if you want that.. The beds were okay. Cheap towels and no comfort add-ons.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Virkilega nice - Mjög snyrtilegt og fínt.
- Howell (10/5): Great place to stay in Akureyri - Comfortable family stay in a really clean and friendly town. Vegan hotdogs outside in the street!
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff onsite was friendly and helpful. However, there should be a whatsapp number for overseas guest to contact the staff if necessary. Currently a local number is only provided.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Central location, all amenities, cozy and spacious.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Location is convenient to go around the city. Clean room and restrooms. Easy check in
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location and very clean 2nd floor hall light needs fixed!
- Gnasegaran (10/5): - The stay at the guest house was fantastic. The rooms were big and sparkling clean. Everything was just a stone throw away. Great restraunts within walking distance. Highly recommended! :)
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great place to stay right on the main downtown street, yet still quiet.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Cozy, colorful and clean place to stay. Great location in the centre of the town and very easy to find. Would stay again any time!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very large clean room. Clean kitchen . Large, clean bathroom. Easy check in process. Not wheelchair accessible so if you're travelling with someone who is compromised, just know there are a few flights of stairs. Staff easily accessible. I even woke her up and she was so nice... Thank you!! I would definitely stay here again
- Nancy (10/5): - Guesthouse au centre d'Akureyri, située dans la rue principale (bar, restaurant à proximité), à 5 minutes à pieds du port d'embarquement pour aller voir les baleines. Chambre confortable, cuisine et salle de bain communes. Gérante agréable.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - fantastic!!!! the host was so lovely and friendly. she gave us a lot useful and helpful information. the cafe shop under the property was delicious!!! it's unforgettable experience. highly recommend!!!!!
- Nicolas (8/5): - Super séjour, chambres impeccable !!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This was a great place to stay! In fact, I don’t think you could find a better location! The staff was so kind and helpful. You could not find a better place! I look forward to staying here whenever I am in that part of the world! Cannot be beaten!
- Gabriella (10/5): - Great value, friendly staff.
- Bryan (8/5): Cheap and cheerful - Was fine for a few nights - room clean, having the kitchen was useful. Would have preferred another bathroom on the floor but otherwise fine. Remote check in, so never saw staff. No bag storage so I left it at the backpackers down the street
- Swee wei (2/5): Sufferred from bed bugs bites - It was a bad experience staying at Akureyri Guesthouse. My room 23 bed has bed bugs. i was seriously bitten by hundreds of bed bugs. I have sufferred allergic reaction towards the insect bite. Nightmare for me to stay in Akureyri Guesthouse.
- Lola (10/5): Akureyri comfort- excellent alternative to hostel - the guesthouse (my room) was exceptionally clean & the bed/pillows very comfortable. though my name did not appear on the welcome board (I was disappointed about that), a staff member called to apologize for the oversight. the bathroom was equipped with shampoo, conditioner & body wash. note: breakfast is not included in the rate; however, right next door there’s a bakery (Kristjans Bakari) and there is a self service kitchen in the guest house. my room included a twin bed and a makeshift “queen” bed (turns out these were 2 twins side by side) - no complaint, simply an observation
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We enjoyed the space! Thanks for leaving us the key for late arrival!
