Nice vibe at bar/lounge, high-quality breakfast. Room had comfortable tools and very good bed.

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.

It was convenient

Bright, cozy rooms with comfy beds, amazing water pressure in the shower. The finishes are starting to show wear but the place is clean and otherwise modern so no complants. Excellent breakfast.

Okay....I always read any negative reviews for hotels we book in order to get an overall view, & so many negative reviews are based on one-off experiences that may be unlikely to occur with anyone else....& such might be our case. So take this review with that in mind. First....the hotel is outside of Akureyri, but if you're looking at this you already know that. And it's less than ten minutes to drive, so it's fine. But the location is picturesque & very quiet, which was fantastic. Now...we stayed here in the 'off-season' so there was no staff there when we arrived & we couldn't find that they'd emailed us a PIN to enter the property (which may be the fault of the Bookings site rather than the hotel, we don't know). So it took a phone call to enter the property...& because it was the off-season (& as Australians we didn't really think this part through) the bar wasn't open for operation, & I was REALLY looking forward to having a beer whist gazing out at the amazing landscape. Sadly, that didn't happen...but that's not really the hotel's fault, just something to be aware of. Then we needed a PIN for our room, which also wasn't supplied in advance, so we had to call the proprietors & the girl on the phone wasn't totally sure how to use the room's PIN pad, so it took a bit of time to get into our room. And then our room was, surprisingly, very hot. Too hot, far too hot to sleep, believe it or not. I even went around the unoccupied bar area & turned down all the heating in an attempt to cool things down (the heater in our room wasn't on) but it didn't seem to have any affect. We called the proprietors again (no staff were onsite at all) & they were admittedly very helpful & apologetic. The manager (I think...?) came out personally to help us & he was very friendly, doing what he could for us.

Great location

Great parking availability and location. Close to excellent restaurants and bars (like R5). Very cool decor and facilities, which were clean and comfy. The staff very very friendly and the breakfast was a great way to start the day.

Location was excellent with great views across the fjord. Able to walk down to the fjord shoreline from the hotel. The viewing tower also provided great views of the surrounding area. (Weather was good). Facilities for recreation were good. Food choice at breakfast was good. WiFi signal was good.

The bed was great

Tasty breakfast, comfortable bed, uncomfortable pillows
