2 Star Hotels in Akureyri

Obviously a bit of a novelty sleeping in a pod hostel. Getting to the nitty gritty though, whilst the privacy of a sleeping pod is very much appreciated, the pod is not without its flaws. The plastic is hollow, therefore the slightest tap on it causes noise. So bring ear plugs. The neon lights might look cool, but the one next to the pod door is reflected in the mirror & for me, was annoyingly bright when trying to sleep (so I ended up sleeping at the TV end). There are no channels on the TV but you can google cast to it. Pity I had an iPhone then. The pod controls are essentially for the lights, fan & door. As for the rest of the hostel, I thought the kitchen was a bit small, though the dining area was fine. Free Coffee & Tea. Nice that there is a balcony to sit outside on too. Showers & WCs were fine, though renting a towel costs extra. All in all, reasonably priced for what you get (by Icelandic standards).

The hotel is very clean and tidy the day before yesterday, Taiba is right, give you an Icelandic farm hotel Different feelings.

My wife and I booked a double room in this hotel, full of rooms, and the door of the room is already using electronic locks! The first floor is the restaurant, check in is also at the restaurant counter, check in with a free drink from the restaurant. The kitchen has a simple microwave and a kettle to use. The bathroom is in the basement, and it will definitely pass the restaurant on the first floor. It feels a bit strange, and men may still go wrong into the women's bathroom. This part is a bit strange in the design of the compartment. There is a bar behind the hotel, which will be very noisy before snoring at night. Even if the soundproof airtight window is closed, it is quite loud; and the door bow buffer of the restaurant door on the first floor of the hotel is not enough, and the closing will affect the upstairs!

We only visited Akureyri for 2 nights but this Guesthouse was in an excellent location, all attractions were within walking distance and you had restaurants and bars literally at your door. The room was quite large and we had a private bathroom which was good. There is a large common room on the 4th floor that is fully equipped and has all you need to cook meals and relax. It was a good place to stay, only downside was no lift and no air-conditioning so the room was quite warm.

I loved staying here, my room was spacious, clean, TV had all the apps, great view looking over Akureyri , super quiet. It’s a self service hotel but if you message the staff about anything they respond very quickly. The hotel is a 5 min drive into town, I took taxies because I don’t drive it cost approx £20 each way. If I had to nit pick, I’d say I would have liked to have a kettle to make hot drinks, and a hair dryer. I would 100% stay here again.

It's located on a slightly hill so it's a bit difficult to get to downtown, but it's quiet and convenient as there's a public swimming pool right in front. The facilities are good and the staff is friendly.

Upon arrival at the apartment, the reception is no longer staffed. On the door hangs a phone number where you can reach the apartment. The person on the other side of the phone first asks us why we do not use the code that we should have received by e-mail. Checked E-Mail Account - mentioned E-mail missing. According to the apartment, this would be sent two days in advance. Since we had not booked two days in advance - impossible. So now checked in by phone, everything ok. On to the first real point of criticism. When opening the room door, a strong smell hits you, which tries to cover the bathroom smell - long airing with a wide open window creates some relief. When checking the bed, one finds reddish, brownish stains on the bed cover - very unattractive. We were accommodated in room 25. The location is unfortunately unfavorable. The room gets the full street noises. Now to our biggest point of criticism: from about 00:30am until after 02:00am, an Asian tour group turned night into day! The hotel cannot be held responsible for human stupidity and antisocial behavior such as door slamming, loud talking and laughing in the corridors. Such behavior can unfortunately happen anytime and anywhere, but an entrance door that slams into the lock so loudly every single time that everyone in the hotel must hear it and you are always startled out of your sleep is simply unacceptable. Last but not least, the tour group had finished their party - thank goodness, and you thought peace would turn in, the small refrigerator inside the room started up. Humming loudly, it wouldn't let you fall asleep for another perceived eternity. All in all, this was unfortunately the worst and most nerve-wracking accommodation of our 15-day Iceland tour so far. We can not recommend this apartment, nor would we come back again.
