Great spot
Great spot but be prepared to walk as the main street in front of the hotel was closed off to traffic. Checkin was easy, Bar staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Great location with an abundance of street food, coffee and dining choices. A kids park just outside the front door, provided endless entertainment to kids and adults.

The location of the hotel is ideal, it is on the Main Street with all restaurants and bars. Although it is a central location, the street was EXTREMELY loud until about 4am. The room was so hot and we could not leave the window open due to the noise. The bed was very uncomfortable and the shared bathrooms weren’t the cleanest.

No frills; but comfortable
We had two rooms; each small; but sufficient. Bathrooms very compact; showers bit small if you are taller person. They offered a shared space on the 4th floor with full kitchen and lounge area. There is no Elevator for luggage etc. There was no TV in the rooms; and no glasses either...you had to go to the 4th floor to get one if you wanted one. The staff here was cordial but not nearly as friendly and helpful as we had experienced at other locations. We did have dinner in their restaurant; and it was very good.

Akureyri centrall located economical accommodation
My only criticism is that the only TV in this guesthouse did not work. Otherwise, for value and location, this guesthouse is excellent. The staff at the restaurant next door, standing in for reception, were also very friendly and helpful.

My room in guesthouse was on third floor and was spacious and clean. My room did not have a private bathroom, so I had use of two shared bathrooms at end of corridor. The shower doors on showers in both bathrooms were broken, doors were basically hanging off their hinges, one was so bad shower was unusable, other one broken enough for door not to close, so water leaked onto floor. There was a hole in ceiling above shower in one bathroom. There were very few places available in Akureyri, so prices were inflated and for £123 per night, this accommodation was appalling. I was staying 2 more nights on my return to Akureyri and had unfortunately paid in advance on a non-refundable rate, thankfully only £65 per night this time. I spoke to one of the owners on my return to property and showed her photos of the broken showers and hole in ceiling to give them a chance to fix things before submitting a review. She said she would get her husband to look at it, but when I left 2 days later, the bathrooms were still in the same appalling state, I can only assume they are not really interested in fixing these issues. The owner seemed shocked at the state of the bathrooms when I showed her the photos, but there is no excuse for owners not to know about this, even if other guests did not report it, what about the cleaning staff, what about the owners inspecting their own premises once in a while? Suggests they don't care about their guests. Would not recommend and would not stay again.

Pros : area was great. Free parking nearby (not on site). Bars and shops right out front. Easy to find. Good comuunal space and kitchen Cons : blood drops on my bedding. Shared bathrooms at end of hall were not clean. Shower doors were hanging off the hinges. No elevator. Very loud. Could hear toilets flushing from my room, and very heavy doors closing repeatedly.
