About this place Apt. Hotel Hjalteyri

Apt. Hotel Hjalteyri is a small apartment hotel at Hjalteyri, a former herring village on the shore of Eyjafjörður, roughly 20 minutes' drive north of Akureyri. It is a mainstream property listed as gay-friendly, not an LGBTQ+ venue. The setting is rural and quiet, so you will need a car; that also makes it a practical base for whale-watching from Hauganes or Dalvík and for the drive to Mývatn. Reviews are very good at 4.9 from about 90. Check room types and kitchen facilities on the website when booking.

This was our best stay in Iceland so far (and my husband's favorite hotel ever!) Located just a few minutes outside Akureyri in a peaceful area overlooking the sea, the setting is simply beautiful. The hotel's design and décor are outstanding, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Staying here felt like a dream. We are truly grateful for such a wonderful experience.

A wonderful and fresh hotel. The rooms are absolutely huge. Everything is fresh and new. The best accommodation in all of Iceland.

Its the nicest, safest, and coziest hotel we have stayed so far. Toti was nice and accommodating. The room we had (twin bed/double bed) was almost perfect, except that it kinda felt warm, and there was only one little window. The heatwave in the northeast during our visit probably exacerbated the warmth in the room. But, we still managed to enjoy it and make our stay worthwhile. It was the only very minor thing we didnt enjoy! OVERALL, its PERFECT, location wise also. IM STILL GONNA GIVE 5 stars AND WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK SOON IN THIS HOTEL!! 💛

We've stayed in many hotels and apartments, but this view from the penthouse is amazing. A 360-degree view of mountains, glaciers with ice in the summer, and the sea next to it. I didn't want to write a review so I could come here more often without the waiting list. But this is too beautiful not to share.
