Top Northern Iceland Hotel Reviews

Hotel Akureyri

10/10 Excellent

"Inhar is The Best … Very helpful. Great staff Great location great everything. Daniel🇮🇸👍"

Hotel Sveinbjarnargerdi

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is definitely off the beaten path but the property appears to be quite new and has a refreshing look. Plenty of parking spots (including two EV chargers), lovely dog and cat. Clean room with functional TV and lots of space to put stuff on chair or on a rack. Bed is a bit small considering that it's a singles room. Room temperature leans towards the warm/hot side. Bathroom floor can take some time to dry up but there's enough space. Breakfast are always the same dishes, but they were cooked well. I especially like the coffee machine. It's available to guests for free 24/7, even if you want some chocolate at 11pm. Staff were plentiful during breakfast period, but it can be hard to find receptionist for check-in or check-out. It's well worth the price."

Hotel Godafoss

10/10 Excellent

"Very attentive staff. Host at the reception was very welcoming and even showed us to our room! She talked a little about the waterfalls and the best times to see it without many tourists around. The property itself is wonderful with the backdrop of Godafoss. Bathroom was a little small but met our needs. Room was overall clean and cozy."
