La struttura che abbiamo scelto per il nostro soggiorno di due giorni a ad Akureyri era una grande camera con bagno, posta al pianterreno di una vecchia dimora del '900. Letto matrimoniale comodo sebbene un po' alto, bagno essenziale ma pulito, con un buon box doccia. Il signore che si occupa della reception e della colazione, è un anziano molto gentile e disponibile. La sera prima ti chiede a che ora vuoi consumare la colazione, che ti prepara lui stesso. Sono disponibili dolci, brioche, poi cibo salato come formaggio, prosciutto cotto, salame, pomodori, cetrioli, succhi di frutta, yoghurt, latte, cereali, oltre a macchina per il caffè, forno a micro onde. Il locale è una coloratissima cucina stile anni'60. L'abitazione è a pochi minuti dal centro di Akureyri. Parcheggio sulla strada, in zona non a pagamento. Molto consigliato

I was unable to stay at this hotel. Staff messaged me and said I was double booked. Staff said to go to another hotel and they would book a room. I was put up at another hotel which worked out. Unfortunately I am unable to confirm the reviews of this one since I never got a chance to stay there. Staff person was helpful even though changing plans and staying somewhere with worse reviews and a more expensive breakfast was unfortunate.

This is a charming guesthouse with just the right amenities—great shower, coffee in the morning. The guest house is across the street and steps from the city bath house and also walking distance from the shops downtown.

Value for money in Akuyeri

Lovely place to stay for a night or two. Tiny bathroom- with the sulfur smelling hot water, pretty unbearable, but the room was lovely.
