Incredible place! We spent one night and we would defiantly come back again. The room was really nice and faced the harbour, and the staff was also very nice and friendly. Highly recommend!

Had a great time at this hotel! Beautiful, clean, and very friendly staff. The breakfast is top notch as well! The laundromat was out of service but they directed us to an alternative in town.
Would stay again

Really tiny room
The room was really tiny. The bathroom is to tiny that it’s impossible to even change inside. The shower can’t even bend down to wash legs.

5-star feel makes the room size a non-issue
This is a decently appointed albeit on the small side accommodation. We got stuck in Egilstaddir for a few hours with the closure of the Ring Road segment connecting to Akureyri. We pushed our Hotel Akureyri check in for a day thinking that we might have to spend another night in Egilstaddir. The hotel was very accommodating due to the circumstance. When the road opened back up, we rushed up the mountains and headed to Akureyri. We showed up after 7 PM and the owner (I believe it was) received us and changed our check in dates back to our original booking. No hassles. What great hospitality! The property is a short walk to town proper and within easy walkable access to restaurants. I strongly recommend Eyja and their delicious Nordic cuisine. I will stay at Hotel Akureyri when I’m back in these parts of Iceland. I will time it with their restaurant’s open days. It’s amazing that they grow their own veggies in one of the buildings close to the hotel. Very sustainable. I love that about the place. And the view of the bay is defunct a huge plus. It was refreshing waking up to the bay view as the rising sun clears through the fog. Very memorable mornings!!!

Best Breakfast
Everything looked new. The contactless checkin was great. However, we needed more toilet paper and there was no way to talk to someone. They gave a phone number, but it went to a pre-recorded message. The shower was lukewarm at best. The restaurant served the BEST breakfast.

Very nice location.
The check in and out was through computer and was easy. Hotel is located in a very convenient area for shopping/restaurants and the room had a great view of the bay. The bathroom was a little small but overall it was a great stay. I would stay there again.
