    Nice and comfortable hotel in a central location

    • Twin Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The room was described in the Booking.com listing as having a city view. However, the two rooms that I stayed in were at the rear of the hotel and overlooked a courtyard surrounded by what appeared to be views of apartment blocks. This may be confusion between the hotel and Booking.com as to what types of room are being available; if so, the discrepancy needs to be corrected. It didn't seem right to make an issue of this at the time, having already been moved to a new room! The area was a bit noisy on the Saturday night/early hours of Sunday from some people walking through the city centre after a night out, but this had already been identified in reviews on other hotels in the area that were featured on Booking.com and was therefore not a surprise.

    There were a couple of technical issues identified in my room after my first night staying at the Centrum, which were quickly, helpfully and generously sorted out for me for the remaining two nights by moving me to a better room. Friendly service from the staff. Very good breakfast with lots of variety. Very welcoming and comfortable bar area, with meals available. Very good location in the centre of Akureyri, close to shops, bars, eateries etc. A five minute walk from the Hof concert hall (which was also where the stop for the airport bus is located), and in the other direction to the very distinctive mid-20th century church. About twenty minutes' walk to the Gleraraug shopping mall. And don't forget to take the opportunity to go whale-watching on the fjord and obviously make the most of any opportunity to see the Northern Lights.

    Room and facilities ok but a mirror in bedroom would be useful so would extra hooks in bathroom . Bed really comfortable!

    Centrally located and a walk away from the bus station and port. Quiet area in winter season. Breakfast choices good.

    The beat of the music from the downstairs bar could be easily heard, it didn't stop us sleeping though.

    An alright room above a decent bar with friendly staff that does nice food. They have a small separate kitchen area off the landing for tea/coffee plus microwave etc to allow a slightly broader range of self-catering food options than most hotels.

    I wouldn't recommend staying on a weekend, we stayed Fri-Mon and both Friday and Saturday nights were very loud until about 2am with people yelling in the streets, drinking downtown, and cars racing one another. Sunday night was very quiet and peaceful though. We stayed during fall so the curtains weren't too much of an issue, but I don't think this location would work for spring/summer when there is sunshine most of the day as they do not block out light and the room is really bright even with the curtains drawn. The elevator is really fickle and sounds like it is in need of repair and the door would often open and shut multiple times and taking a very long time to get going; we just started taking the stairs to avoid it. Parking can be hit or miss, but be aware there is no hotel parking only paid street parking. The shower is open concept and water got all over the bathroom floor after every shower.

    The room was a good size, very spacious, and had some kitchen amenities which was helpful. The balcony was really nice to look over the main street. The water from the tap was ice cold and perfectly drinkable! The bed was comfortable. The location was VERY central for walking to so many locations.

    It seems to be more of a thing I've seen in Iceland compared to Centrum Hotel, but there was not hair conditioner or lotion available in our room. The shower a tad small, but the water pressure was great!

    Great location in town which made it easy to walk around and see the sights. Rooms were clean..I requested our rooms be next to each other and they accommodated our request. A nice, quaint place to stay!
