What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise Hotel Akureyri for its central location, modern decor, friendly and professional staff, and an excellent, varied breakfast. However, a common complaint is that the rooms, while clean and well-equipped, are often small, and some guests have experienced issues with room size or even smells.

About this place Hotel Akureyri

Hotel Akureyri is a mainstream gay-friendly hotel on Hafnarstræti, the main street of Akureyri in north Iceland. It is not a gay venue; it is a straightforward town hotel that rates 4.2 on Google from about 600 reviews. The pedestrian centre, restaurants and the waterfront on Eyjafjörður are within a few minutes' walk, and it is a practical base for day trips to Lake Mývatn, Goðafoss and whale-watching from Húsavík. Iceland is one of the easiest countries for LGBTQ+ travellers, and Akureyri hosts its own small Pride in summer, but there are no gay bars in town.

A lovely, clean hotel with a very good and varied breakfast, very friendly staff, and a great location. The rooms are modernly furnished, and the hotel is very tastefully decorated with artwork.

At this hotel, you can have a truly wonderful stay. Every detail is meticulously cared for, even though it comprises two buildings, which might have made things difficult, but that wasn't the case at all; both were impeccably maintained. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable, the beds are incredibly comfortable, and the sea views are unbeatable. All the staff are very attentive and friendly. The breakfast was varied and plentiful, with several gluten-free and lactose-free options. Everyone is more than welcome. Furthermore, it's very well located within the city of Akureyri. Staying here will give you plenty of freedom. I highly recommend it.
