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.
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 were able to checkin 30 min early. And check out very early.
The staff arranged for a very big take-away breakfast as we needed to leave around 5:30 AM. Thanks again for this kind gesture! Much appreciated. We even received lunch :)
We ate at the restaurant. Food was good but a bit pricey. Fush soup with chocolate is an experience I wouldn't try again though.
The room was big with lots of space to stow the luggage. Beds were confortable
This was our second stay at Hotel Dynheimar in Akureyri for a work trip. We like the convenience of being able to check in ourselves. The design of the place is amazing, great vibe. The rooms are just what you need for a quick stay where you are not planning on hanging out at the hotel. The location is also perfect for exploring the town of Akureyri on foot. The hotel restaurant, which is located in another building is very good and cozy.
The hotel was right in the town center and everything is within walking distance. There is parking on street and around - for free after 4pm and until 10am on weekdays (super convenient).
The room was large and luxurious and staff was super friendly (TV was not working and they offered us a discount on dinner since we decided to eat there). Food was delicious (dinner and breakfast).
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.
Brand new cottage with high end finishes and a fantastic view over the valley to Akureyri and the mountains beyond. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast included with the stay was quite good. We had a lovely soak in the private hot tub on the balcony. We wish we could have stayed longer.
This is an exceptional guesthouse, just outside Akureyri. The sharing bathrooms are clean and smell nice (the hot water in Iceland smells of sulfur, so this is quite a feat). And the breakfast was phenomenal. Akureyri, and this place, is a great base for exploring the northern parts of Iceland.
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!
The view was amazing, the room was clean and tidy, breakfast had good variety of food and the receptionist with a brown hair was very warm and welcoming. The place is very affordable and for any future travellers staying in Akureryi, I would definitely recommend this hotel :)
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.
Location is great... a short walk to the town centre with lots of food. Windows overlook the water. Easy to spot from the main road. Breakfast is not included. Order directly from the restaurant. The waffles, skyr and salmon on toast were all delightful!
Our room was clean and very nice with comfortable beds. Delicious breakfast was included.
On top of that the the staff was just fabulous and the location of the Hotel was in the center of Akureyri and could not be better.
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!
Small room, could be cleaner, there was long black hair in the bathroom and corners of the room, also a lot of flies. Breakfast was in the restaurant area, good, but again a lot of flies landing on the food.
Comfortable beds, very good breakfast, very nice walking path to the shore, a lot of activities to do at the hotel, we tried: frisbee golf, table tennis, the hot tub, sightseeing tower.... Wonderful stay
I LOVED this hotel. The decor was so unique and charming. The staff were so lovely and helpful and the location was great. Breakfast was simple but delicious in a beautiful warm setting.
