Akureyri Hotels with Breakfast

I’m writing this review on my first night staying at this hotel. The location is great, the property is beautiful, and the staff are lovely, but I can’t give this hotel a high rating because they have fallen into the trap of prioritizing “design” over comfort, when design *should be* comfort in a hotel. The bathrooms are very problematic. The *number one* priority when it comes to bathrooms is privacy, and these bathrooms have absolutely none. A sliding glass door separates the toilet from the room. You may as well be sitting on the toilet in the middle of the room. (Never mind the fact that if you turn on the bathroom light in the middle of the night it will illuminate the entire room.) The shower is completely open onto the room, so if my partner wakes up early tomorrow, I really can’t sleep in. And why, in 2024, are there not outlets next to the bed? This is basic stuff. Putting aside the fact that it just makes charging one’s phone inconvenient, there are other more important things to consider. My partner uses a CPAP machine. Without an outlet next to the bed, we have to plug the machine in to the outlet that is on the other side of the bathroom door, which is going to be a tripping hazard in the middle of the night. I’m not looking forward to another night here. It’s very, very disappointing.

The hotel room is really a bit small, with three small beds. I almost fell off when I rolled over at night. I could only open one suitcase🧳, and I couldn't move when I opened the second one. The breakfast was simple eggs, beans, bacon🥓, juice, and bread. ,fruit. Hygienic and clean, the service desk is very friendly. The location is good. You can see the church when you go out. There are supermarkets, restaurants, and bars next to it. I was woken up by people singing outside the bar at night.

Mixed experience. We had to book very last minute when the Ring Road flooded and we could not get to our next destination via the Southern route. So at 10 PM the night before we had to re-route and go North and all around the island to get to the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. The good: The on line rates were exceptional, given that most hotels along the Golden Circle and Reykjavik cost $350-$450. This was $160 including breakfast. We were very grateful they could accommodate us. The location was excellent and we were able to park outside of the hotel even though we arrived close to 9 PM. Lovely funky lobby-mixture of traditional/historical and fun modern touches. Great windows and very inviting and large. The mixed: Our room had a low sloping roof on one side of the bed, and it would be easy to seriously injure yourself in the middle of the night. Quite tiny, but fine for one night. The breakfast offerings were only fair and the breakfast room is so tiny, that you have to carry your food from the breakfast room to the lobby where there are nice tables to sit and eat. But each time you needed something, you had to walk across the lobby, up the stairs and wait in line to get something. Offerings were very limited compared to elaborate buffet breakfasts at other hotels where we stayed. Nothing hot except coffee. As mentioned, the view of the water is partially obstructed by a bunch of new condo buildings, but our room maintained a nice view. The bad: 1)Our toilet did not flush and ran all night, starting at midnight. There is no one at the desk at that hour and we would have been too tired to move rooms anyway, but essentially we had no toilet except by going down to the lobby area in the morning. When I told the front desk the next day, she said “thanks for telling us”, but I think a partial refund would have been a nice offer. Since we had a long drive ahead of us, I was not going to make a fuss. 2) The confirmation email received at the time fo booking said that I would get an email at 2 PM on check in day with location of my room and check in code. It said that the hotel was spread across several historic buildings, so we would need information about where to go. I never got this check in email and was quite anxious when we were having dinner at 8:30 PM and no check in information. When I called, I was told to come to the front desk and our room was not in a separate building but right upstairs. I believe this confirmation email needs to be changed and guests instructed to check in in-person. We had a lovely walk around the town before checking out and a good dinner down the street. Despite the complaints, I would stay here again because of location and price.

In short notice, we needed an overnight stay in Aukereyri. We found Hrafninn as the Cheapest! place with available room with private bath at a price of 370 Euro.!!! We ordered the room the same day we should stay overnight. We got information of the location of the hostel. At arrival, there were no PIN code available for our room. Nobody in the reception. We called the telephone number that we found on the wall. A person said she will come and lock us in our room. After 10 minutes waiting, she arrived, and gave us our pin code. We asked if the price included breakfast?? First she said no, but after checking it, she told us that the room was included breakfast. She told us we had to walk approx. 10 min to another Hotel to get the breakfast next morning. The room was in the basement, and we had to walk down a pretty steep and narrow stair. The room was ok, with private bathroom. The sofa in the room was not good to sit on It was broken, and when we tried to sit on it, we almost sat on the floor! There was a TV, but no remotecontrol to turn on the TV!! Next morning we walked the 10 mins to the other hotel for breakfast. She sat in the reception, and we told here we are here for the breakfast. THEN she told us, sorry, I was wrong yesterday, the room is NOT includet with breakfast. You have to pay an extra 40 Euro for the breakfast!! All in All. For the price of 370 Euro, we expected higher Quality, and altso she could offer us breakfast when we had been walking 10 min to get the breakfast she told us was included in the price. Room and service was way overpriced. First and last time we stayed here.

房間間大小合適，乾淨衞生。早餐還不錯。城市風景好。免費停車，服務人員好。

Wonderful room, accommodating and cozy hotel. The breakfast was fresh and delicious and the staff was very kind. The concierge doubled as a bar, so we were able to order and take drinks into the room which was a nice plus. The lobby was like that of your favorite older relative who has stories about places all over the world and the trinkets to prove it. I really wish I could have stayed here longer but we were quite limited in time. It's not within the city center but if you have a car, it's literally a minute drive down the mountain.

This is a hotel in the downtown area of Akreli. The bar is downstairs. It is open until late. We stayed very late. The room is very large. There is a separate kitchen and bathroom. There is also a large balcony. You can see the street in the city center. There is no front desk. There is a bar waiter. We arrived late, we couldn't connect to Wi-Fi, we only connected the next morning, the kitchen utensils did not have knives, others had

My husband, teenage daughter, and I enjoyed staying one night in a triple (a queen bed and a twin bed) with a private bath. This modern hotel with a Scandanavian feel is centrally located, including close to the beautiful Botanical Garden and the harbour area. The room is large, clean and well appointed. There's plenty of room in the closets as well. The bathroom was good sized as well. The breakfast was a combination of hot and cold dishes, so we filled up until dinner. The hotel was packed with tour groups, but it was quiet at night. The hotel staff was helpful and courteous. When we needed to arrange for a reimbursement of our cancelled whale watch due to bad weather, the hotel manager graciously placed the call to the company and explained to them in Icelandic what our inquiry was about (we received the reimbursement).

Just spent 2 nights here Very conveniently situated just 5 min walk from town centre, allbeit up a sharp hill The room was enormous, the bed very comfortable (except the pillows, come on what was it with those pillows? I would have had more support putting a sock in a shirt. Buy some proper pillows!!!!!) The bathroom - with a jet bath and a shower - was bigger than some rooms we've stayed in. There was even a door to a balcony from the bathroom. Building plenty warm enough but not double glazed so windows all condensed in morning. But.... Whatever happened to customer service? When we arrived, shortly after check in time, we rang bell. Eventually this rough looking bloke opened the door - looked like he had just got up. Before we could say anything, or even introduce ourselves, the sum total of what was said by him was a gruff ”Your room is straight on at the top of the stairs.” and with that he disappeared back into the rear of the house. No explanation about anything eg parking, or fuss we want breakfast, or WiFi, or that there was a fridge available (didn't see that until the morning we left) Had to email to get WiFi code - though later saw that it was on the tiniest slip of paper in the room. Tea and coffee available on the landing outside of room. No servicing /washing of cups Nobody around on departure. So, no ”hospitality” throughout the whole stay.

We only visited Akureyri for 2 nights but this Guesthouse was in an excellent location, all attractions were within walking distance and you had restaurants and bars literally at your door. The room was quite large and we had a private bathroom which was good. There is a large common room on the 4th floor that is fully equipped and has all you need to cook meals and relax. It was a good place to stay, only downside was no lift and no air-conditioning so the room was quite warm.
