    Why I’m torn on this

    The breathtaking views over the fjord, coupled with the friendly staff's helpful travel tips, made my stay memorable! The open-air hot tub was perfect for stargazing and soaking under the Northern Lights.

    The bathrooms were shared and a bit tricky during peak morning hours. The room was quite small for three people with luggage. It lacked character, feeling a bit clinical at times.

    stunning view
    limited breakfast hours

    This place was a fantastic spot for our family, especially with the kids! The horse riding activities were an absolute highlight. we learned so much about the Icelandic horses, and the experience left us all in awe. Plus, the hot tub with a stunning view of the fjord was perfect for relaxing after our adventures.

    My wife wishes the breakfast hours were extended.

    breathtaking views and convenient access to akureyri's attractions

    relaxing in the huge hot tub overlooking the water while watching the sun set was worth the price of the stay. I loved how close the stunning Akureyrarkirkja was, allowing for a short and lovely walk to admire its architecture.

    relaxing hot tub
    delicious breakfast
    shared bathroom issues
    clinical feel
    limited personal character

    Relaxation comes easy with the expansive hot tub overlooking the water, perfect for enjoying sunsets. Breakfast featured an array of creative salads and hearty options, all well prepared to start the day. Staff were exceptionally accommodating, ensuring timely access to facilities even during busy breakfast hours. However, shared bathroom use could be a challenge during peak times, and the rooms felt clinical at times, lacking a personal touch. Despite these small drawbacks, the comforting atmosphere made for an enjoyable experience.
