Hótel Dalvík

Lovely hotel with delightful staff. Easy to get to, lots of parking and cute rooms. The shining star is the wonderful breakfast. It's worth the money.....pay for it. You won't be disappointed. I highly recommend this hotel. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Our EF group had a marvelous three day stay here at Hotel Dalvik. The food and service was amazing. The staff was very friendly and the meals had a down home feel. We didn’t leave the table needing anymore to eat. It was great to come back from a long day of sight seeing to have a great home cooked meal.

This place is terrific - comfortable, clean, convenient. Cannot say enough about our host, Freyja, - friendly, responsive almost immediately, knowledgeable - and a great cook! Thanks for everything!

The young lady at the front desk was a delight. She gave me all the information I needed about the area (and specially places where I could have dinner - there was only one open at this time of the year). Room was decent size, WiFi was good, bathrooms were clean. My stay was very comfortable. I also enjoyed the sitting area around the front desk - there was wine nice literature that I glanced through. I was here at the hotel just for one night (came in to take the ferry to Grimsey Island next morning and left Dalvík straight from the ferry stop after coming back).

We had a last-minute (a month in advance, which is basically tomorrow when it comes to traveling to Iceland in August) change of plans, so this was the only hotel within reasonable distance of Akureyri I could find for a non-exorbitant price. Honestly, I should have spent more, as finding value in this place for $180/night was tough. I know I shouldn’t ask for much from a two-star hotel (really, all I expect is a place to sleep and a clean bathroom - read on to see how well that worked out), but even in high season that’s a lot to charge for: - A “double” bed made up of two rock-hard mattresses with a pronounced gap in the middle - A bathroom that STINKS of raw sewage (this was particularly lovely) - Breakfast of questionable quality for $25/person - A total lack of coffee- or tea-making facilities in the room (there’s a kettle at reception) - Blackout curtains (particularly relevant during summer in Iceland) that blacked out NOTHING About the only nice thing to say about Hotel Dalvik is that if not for the kind and attentive staff, this review would have one fewer star. Honestly, if you’re going to Iceland and staying at hotels rather than campsites, you’re already spending a fair few bucks. Spend just a bit more and stay at a better hotel.

Room is small, the heater was not working very well. The staffs were very nice and helpful, service was good. The breakfast was good too.
