The location was excellent, with beautiful views right outside our window of the fjord and the mountains. The owner could not have been nicer. Room was very clean and large.

Very clean, great location and great water views. Just minutes from town center. Room had minimal decor, but was large. Proprietor friendly, attentive and gave us great recommendations. Breakfast was nothing over-the-top, but it was very satisfying. Good selection to start the day.

The Airport is also on full display, but it is quiet and small and is a positive point of interest rather than a nuisance. It's easy for other guests to come out of their rooms onto the shared terrace and see into your room.

A small hotel nestled on the hillside outside Akureyri affording good views of the Eyjafjorder, town, valley and hills opposite. Rooms are well appointed, very clean and comfortable. The host is quiet and efficient and serves that standard breakfast one encounters across the country. All in all a good option if you have a car.

This was the best hotel of our 12-days trip in Iceland. The rooms are very spacious and have an astonishing view on the fjord where the city of Akureyri rests. The owner is a very kind man who bakes fresh croissants every morning. Just an amazing experience

Room was too hot for me

Cleanliness, view, position, staff all great

The room was a little too warm at night when we were sleeping with no way to control this but compared to everything else, this was minor

The view was spectacular. The breakfast was great. The host was very accommodating

Hafdals Hotel Best stay along Ring Road - don’t miss! This was the best hotel stay during our entire Iceland trip. It has an unbelievable scenic view of the fjord and snowcovered mountains behind. It was a perfect place to take a huge exhale after a long day of driving. You could really get lost in the view, which is why I was so glad we stayed for 2 nights. The hotel is family-owned and small, with maybe 9 rooms or so lined up in a row. The room aesthetic was modern and chic, which huge sliding doors and windows to take in the magical view. The breakfast room was cozy and the breakfast was simple but delicious. I was really surprised and impressed with how hands-on the owner (Hafdal) was to care of the hotel and support the guests. You saw him doing hard work on and for the property to keep it neat, equipped, and running to perfection. There were three of us and he charged 50 EUR per day to add an extra twin bed to the standard two-twin room, which he brought and assembled himself. It was unique to see someone take such pride in their work and so dedicated to hospitality. Long story short - stay here and you will 100% not regret it! Since there are so few rooms make sure you book early. And if you can’t, still stay on this side of the fjord since the views are way better than the city center side. The Hafdals view is still imprinted in my brain and looking forward to coming back again!

The hillside location above Akureyri was fabulous - a great view along the fjord to the town on one side and the countryside of Iceland on the other. The host was very helpful with travel information. Breakfast was included and it was lovely

We liked everything! Great place!

This is a beautiful property overlooks the mountains and fjords. Gorgeous views with large, very comfortable rooms. This hotel was one of our favorite hotels during our 24 day trip around Iceland. The owner was very kind and able to accommodate us and our friends when a freak snowstorm required us to stay an extra day in Akureyri. We felt fortunate to be able to stay another night there. Also, we liked that the property wasn’t in downtown Akureyri, but was only a ten-minute drive away.

The design and layout of the property were breathtaking and filled me with comfort. I slept handsomely :) the view is so captivating from each room’s lanai, I just kept look out at it while I was in room…I loved it so much I spent an extra night! The host Þorarinn was a great help in many cases from suggestions to accommodations, so thankful for him. Breakfast from 8-10am is lovely and if you like peaceful night sleep this is for you

We travelled the ring road around Iceland during May 2024 and this was our favourite hotel. We stayed 3 nights which is perfect for exploring the area. Close to Forest Lagoon, great for day trips to Húsavik, Dettifoss, Myvatn, etc. Lovely large, clean room with amazing views.
