    Lovely one night stay

    A little noisy in the morning due to location. Room was a little small but was great for what we needed.

    Perfect location right in the centre of town. Easy check-in process at the restaurant next door and great common area with large kitchen.

    Overall, the experience was a positive one. I would recommend to all, but with the caveat that there is no lift.

    Room was very small and the fact that there was no lift was a problem. We are healthy and fit, however we are all seniors and climbing the stairs with suitcases was difficult.

    Location was good. Facilities were clean.

    Only complaint - like every guest house - duvets are way too thick. Great in the winter, I'm sure!

    Nice location, handy for everything. Good taxi company a couple of minutes walk for lifts to Forest Lagoon, airport, local attractions and activities. Shops within easy walk in all directions. Centrum Kitchen and Bar, which runs Hotel Apotek, is right next door, with really nice staff and great breakfasts. Plus, they will store luggage if needed! Room was clean, and the shower was good. There is a great kitchen/lounge on the top floor for self catering.

    nothing.

    Super central location, room size was totally fine for a short stay (and perfect after a week in a camper!) the bathroom was clean, although the shower curtains should be renewed ;)

    There was a confusion on arrival about the rooms because the personnel didn’t speak English properly (they said I had booked two singles when they should have said that I had booked two twin rooms). Also, many people might appreciate down duvets and pillows, but my nose gets stuffed…

    Great central location (although on a weekend night the street below was noisy at first).

    Only 2 showers per floor for about 10 rooms, not enough. The shower curtain should have been replaced, it was so filthy at the bottom. Very small bathrooms. There was also a water leak in the wall that dripped all night and stopped when the showers started.

    Central location, reasonable sized rooms and rooms were clean.

    Very noisey at night. Don’t store your food in the fridge - we had ours stolen- lost $100 worth of food. I think because this is a large guesthouse by Iceland standards with no on-site staff member keeping an eye on things and then problems can occur. Only time we had any issues in Iceland.

    Great kitchen. Central location

    Very basic. Shower space was too small to fit even 1 person. No elevator in the building

    Just a very basic accommodation but in a great location in the fancy town of Akureyi!! Very lovely neighborhood. Has a small play area right opposite to the building. Breakfast was not included in the price of the room but you can pay extra to add it. The blackout curtains worked very well

    Toletseat was awfull, flaking and well worn, almost falling apart, one night the toilet made alot of noise and didn't stop after flushing for long period, small window, really hot inside the room and no view what so ever, barely any sunlight, other houses blocking everything off, pillows way 2 soft and they didn't let us get more then 1 pillow extra even wanting to pay for it, told they can't even tho we were 2,

    Location was good, straight down town next to few restaurants and shops, the restaurant was good and breakfast as well but over all it was okey, good enough for a sleep or 2, not for a long stay

    I assume that they turn off the radiators in summer, but it's currently snowing! Everything is so cold! Worse of all, there's no hair-dryer.

    The location was good. It's located at the heart of the walking street. The kitchen is well-equipped.

    Unfortunately noisy at the weekends - and especially when groups stayed in the house. Solo travellers usually are more respectful towards other guests.

    Very nice housekeeping staff and also next door in the Centrum Kitchen and Bar!

    The stairs were a bit steep and for a person with asthma and back problems it was a bit difficult to get up them and you couldn’t get a less than 1L water bottle in the sink to refill

    The room was comfortable and they had a common area/kitchen so you could go shopping and cook your own food instead of eating out every day

    The location is good for have a good leisure day in Akureyri. near the church and community. unfortunately it was snowing on the day we arrived but we still enjoy the good vibe and facilities ( the kitchen ) of the hotel. The staff is great to provide information about car park and allow us for late check out while we were waiting for the road condition.
