Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were small but cozy, perfect for a short stay. The beds were well-designed and comfortable, complete with high-quality hair products. The room was compact but equipped with everything I needed, including a full-size kettle.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was quiet and close to the city center, offering peaceful surroundings. The service was friendly and included helpful guidance on local activities, but extra charges for room changes could be inconvenient. Unfortunately, the dining experience fell short with a lackluster breakfast offering and inconsistency in service quality.
The hotel offers cozy rooms with a great view and top-notch hair products. The service is extremely helpful and friendly, making our stay memorable. The location is perfect for exploring Akureyri, although the dining experience could be improved. Overall, it provides good value for money.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. The location was great, just a short walk to the main street. However, the room was a bit compact and didn't offer much space to move around with luggage.
