    I would have preferred real milk and brewed coffee in the morning. We don't care for Nescafe and powdered creamer.

    It was a lovely guest house with a charming and helpful host. Excellent location, good value.

    Locate in relatively high area of the city, 10min walk to city centre. All facilities were clean and sufficient, there were heaters both in the bathroom and in the bedroom. Easy and simple checkin and checkout process, love the efficiency.

    The bathroom is tiny and the sink really too small to wash in.

    An Icelandic house converted into a guesthouse I was lucky enough to have the ground floor room which was both very light and very convenient. Very comfy bed and I borrowed a suitable chair to sit at the desk available to use my computer. Very close to all amenities but quiet and well furnished. My flight was delayed and Gisli kindly came to pick me up from the airport and book me in for an extra night at a reduced fee.

    If I had to find a “negative thing” it would be the shower curtain that didn’t close very well and it kept on sticking onto our wet legs.

    The self service check-in and out is very convenient. There’s also a reception area but we didn’t meet anyone of the staff in our stay. Anyway they always respond via booking and they’re always willing to help. The accommodation in Akureyri is up on a very slope road and on the day we stayed in the city it was snowing so the road was also slippery. We recommend people to drive very carefully and use a 4x4 car with appropriate winter tires. There are multiple parking spots nearby. The room was on the first floor and it was a bit difficult to carry our heavy luggage. The room was by far the best one we’ve booked in our trip in Iceland. It was very spacious, the bed was big, it had different windows so natural light could pass through, the host provided us fresh towels, sheets, there was a hairdryer and a mini fridge as well. The bathroom was amazing, it felt luxurious. It had a tub big enough to fit 2 people, a small shower and a little balcony with a nice view of the streets and trees covered in snow. It was a really nice experience, thanks

    Easy to hear movements outside including the using of water kettle. Nightstands are shaped round, making charging cables easy to slide off.

    Great location with easy free parking with such a price. Clean and comfy beddings in hotel quality. Spacious bedroom and toilet, allowing two big suitcases to be opened while having place to walk around. Friendly host, always available. Beautiful wooden staircase.

    No complaints!

    The house is beautiful and in a really good location. Our room was spacious, including the private bathroom. The room also had a mini-fridge and a table for two. We loved the art on the walls, and the owner was really nice and gave us tips about the nearby sights and also talked about the history of the city. Everything was really clean and comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights, and were really happy with the accommodation!

    Water smelled a bit like sulfur. I don't think it's the host's fault, rather the city's/water system.

    Extremely worth the money. Clean, really good location, nice staff.

    The window opening is quite small, so it takes a long time to get rid of the humid air after shower.

    Excellent value for money. The private toilet is across the corridor, but it was still nice to have everything private for this price. Convenient location for sightseeing.

    A very beautiful and tastefully updated historic guesthouse.

    There are a couple stairs to get into the building (even if staying on the first floor), and it is on a large hill with a steep walk back from the city centre. Not really a negative- just something to be aware of if a guest has limited mobility.

    We had an upstairs room with balcony in this guesthouse. It was a very beautiful and restored historic hotel on the inside, which was a nice change from most of the very new, minimalist cabins and guesthouses we stayed at on our trip. Couldn't have been happier with our stay, and only wished that we have booked more than one night to explore Akureyi. The hotel is a very short walk from the city centre, with plenty to do nearby. The botanical gardens are worth a visit!
