Classic Akureyri stays with city-center ease

6/10 Good

Very nice staff! However, if you are looking for a freshly renovated hotel with really good gym and all the necessary equipment I would look somewhere else. It would be very nice with some water in the gym, instead of running to the bathroom to have some water. Restaurant and bar are very nice. Food in the restaurant so so. Very expensive! The view from the restaurant and bar very nice, from the room where I stayed not very nice. Central location of the hotel. So I would give this hotel 3 stars.

The property is located in the downtown area. Close walk to all the external restaurants and shopping. The beds were way too soft. It felt like you were sleeping on a bag of marshmallows. The pillows were so thin you had to fold it in half to make it work. And if you wanted another one it was 500 Islandic Kronos extra per pillow. The scrambled eggs and beans at breakfast buffet were cold.
