By far the best hotel we stayed at in Iceland. The hotel is situated upon a hill overlooking Akureyri and the magnificent waterfront. The room offers a breathtaking view of the waterfront and I felt like I could spend hours just staring at the view.
The hotel has a handful of rooms and that adds to the very quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
The rooms are quite clean and spacious and very elegantly furnished. The floor to ceiling windows and the private patio allow you to soak in the amazing view.
We found the breakfast to be simple but yet wholly adequate. My wife and I are vegetarians but we felt very satisfied with the options on offer. The only very minor feedback we would have is to keep the slices of cheese separate from the slices of meat at breakfast. Since people tend to use the same serving fork for both the meat and cheese, the vegetarians may feel uncomfortable taking the cheese.
There is also ample free parking available at the property.

Room was among the best of the trip, very large with a big bathroom. Very well appointed. Breakfast was typical Icelandic fare. Owner was great, but we arrived about 20 min prior to check in and were not greeted warmly. Easy drive to the city.

The views from the rooms are spectacular overlooking the city and estuary and the rooms are beautifully maintained with a great shower and bathroom. In the room was a coffee machine which during out stay was replenished daily. Breakfast was included and was buffet style with cold meats,cheese, pastries and fruit all very nice. The owner was very helpful with ideas for our stay. The drive into the city takes around 10 minutes and there is free evening parking in the centre. Highly recommended.

We were made very welcome and enjoyed our single night here. The view from our room was stunning. Akureyri is a short drive away and has some lovely restaurants. Choice at breakfast was great!

Amazing views of Akureyri!
Hotels.com address was not correct. The location is actually closer to the turn off than indicated. If you use Google maps it will give you the accurate information. The hotel was super clean and had an amazing view. The host was very friendly, and the breakfast was great.

Clean and Comfortable
Very clean and spacious room with all the needed amenities and a gorgeous view of the city across the water. Staff were friendly and unobtrusive, and the breakfast spread had some nice variety. Overall just had a very comfortable stay and will be back again next time I’m near the city!

Excellent Choice in Akureyi.
Really well kept and feels new. Well located. Good Breakfast. The bed was great as was the linen. I didn’t like the pillows. Wish the room had a tea kettle.

Lovely hotel with stunning views
Lovely quiet hotel with a welcoming and helpful host. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable room with a great hot shower.
The view across the fjord to Akureyri is stunning but beware driving at night or in bad weather as the road to the hotel is narrow, winding and unlit and as the hotel only serves breakfast you need to get into Akureyri for an evening meal.
