This place came highly recommended and we were looking forward to our stay. So we were extremely disappointed to turn up after a 5 hour drive through snow and ice and not be able to get into the building due to all the snow. The place was in a lovely location but was no physical way we could get in. Messaged the contact saying it was impossible for us to get in and asking for a refund but I am disappointed to say we have had no response.

The owner was very kind and helpful. The room was cozy and clean. Our room had a sea view. The breakfast was excellent. I appreciate the observation tower. We even saw the aurora borealis. I liked the relaxation zone the most. There was a sauna, massage chair, hot tub, darts, ping-pong. We will be happy to come back here. We loved this place.

Nice place to stay while visiting sites in North Iceland.
Nice place to stay while visiting sites in North Iceland. We were able to see the Northern lights while there in early October, but our lodging was slightly out of the main city lights. Nice restaurants and easy to walk around. Botanical garden was a very nice place.

Great place for a day trip, or two.
Great place for a day trip, or two. Limited eating options (compared to Reykjavik). The lagoons (Forest lagoon / Myvatn) are worth a visit. There are of course also some nearby waterfalls. There's a fantastic petting zoo which is definitely not to be missed.

Nice small city . Surprisingly bug infested in late summer.
Nice small city . Surprisingly bug infested in late summer. Wonderful sights nearby. Very few free parking lots . Dettifoss was awe inspiring. There are steam venting sites worth visiting. There are crevasses separating American and European plates you can walk across caves and crevasses where Game of Thrones was filmed . Restaurant 23 is a great fish restaurant

Akureyri is a beautiful little town in N. Iceland.
Akureyri is a beautiful little town in N. Iceland. Super picturesque, at the base of a fjord. We booked a whale watching tour with Keli Sea Tours and saw humpback whales.
Everything is walkable and there are some great restaurants, especially Strikið, where I had the best piece of salmon I have ever eaten.
The botanical garden is free and beautiful. The kids loved the little Christmas house on the edge of town.
If you are driving the ring road, you must stop here!

We was looking for local food but no one. we could find only pizza, burger, fried chicken restaurant. And we was found food truck which owner is very rude, we not recommend there but anyway bakery at the corner was very good.
it was an exceptional stay from beginning to end. The bed was so comfortable we slept almost 24 hours straight. haha. The hotel made communication so easy and their kind and welcoming made me feel so comfortable. I walked in the room and said WOW. It was a true mixture of comfort, cleanliness, and had every amenity to make us comfortable. Breakfast is always fresh and delicious. I can’t say enough. I hope we are lucky enough to stay here again. Many thank you to the wonderful staff.
The bungalow was very comfortable and cosy, located in the woods. Fairytale and very romantic place. There is a queen size bed, video option with movies, table and small kitchen inside. The bathroom was enough big. We will recommend for dinner the Eyri restaurant on the lake, only 10 minutes away from the property. It´s a gourmet one (higher price level) but all very tasty with an excellend wine choice. Near Akureyri we will highly recommend also to visit the Forest Lagoon (thermal baths).
We had a great stay in Akureyri and totally recommend Akureyri Backpackers. Our room was comfortable and spacious. The stuff was very friendly (especially the brazilian guy, I think his name was nicolai). The Hostel ist very close to some shops, restaurants and the harbour. The atmosphere at the bar was good, we also liked the breakfast and the tacos! :)
Thank you! :)
Stayed three nights. The location was great - walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable.
Tea and coffee available all day in the lobby. Breakfast was great in the 60's style kitchen and the coffee maker divine. Fridge for guests in the lobby. Homeowner very friendly.
A lot of free public spots to park.
The location was very convenient, a short walk from the central restaurants/bars but just distant enough to not be noisy, and just off the main road (1). The quality of the breakfast food was very high (but a la carte, not a buffet like most hotels). Getting the PIN to unlock our room by text was very convenient for arriving late.
My room was very nice and comfortable. Hotel was clean and within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the botanical gardens. The food at the restaurant was very good. I would like to mention that the staff were very helpful.
Akureyri is a nice place to visit and you can take a day trip to Grimsey Island.
As the name suggests, it’s very central, a few minutes’ walk from everywhere. Comfortable room, with fridge and a nearby communal kitchen if you want to make drinks and snacks. Great bar and restaurant on ground floor, tasty breakfast. Lovely staff. An excellent good value choice.
I have always liked staying at this hotel when i have stayed in Akureyri, before it changed from its name and other bought it. It is not the same hotel as before but the location is good and I didn’t have breakfast because it is too expensive and not worth spending all that money
Because of Covid we have been given another room in Hotel Akureyri Dynheimar. Because the room was to small for our luggage (inkl. stuff to eat) we asked for a bigger room. Luckily we got an apartment and had a very nice experience there. Thank you so much for your flexibility!
A beautiful apartment smack in the middle of Akureyri. 4 minute walk to the town center and restaurants. Simple street parking near the house. Easy check-in with a key code. The interior has nice design elements and furniture and it feels like a real home. Will stay again!
We loved this hotel. Every staff member, front desk, the restaurant, the bar, house keeping were just incredibly accommodating and helpful. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, happy hour were just beautiful served and incredibly delicious. Our room was lovely, clean and quiet.
We loved hotel North! Beautiful location just outside Akureyri. Taking a hot tub with a breathtaking view was amazing. Very friendly and helpful staff and great breakfast. Seeing the northern lights was the cherry on top!
Great location with easy access to restaurants, shops, and sites in Akureyri. Check in and check out is easy. It was a nice stay, but nothing particularly special. Good facilities if you want to cook your own meals.
I stayed at multiple places in Iceland and this was by far the largest and fanciest!
In-hotel restaurant, hot tub, absolutely stunning views and the staff was incredibly friendly/accomodating!
Nice hotel with clean rooms. Room was spacious. Staff was friendly. Check in and out was easy. Great location. You can walk to restaurants and stores. Hot dog stand across the street.
Breakfast far exceeded expectations. The restaurant was closed but if breakfast is an indicator it is probably good.
Place is truly fair value.
Owner and staff are nice.
