    The only regret we have is that stayed only one night and had to leave quite early in the morning for sightseeings. I would definitely love to stay longer! This place is really great!

    This place is really beautiful. Our 1 bedroom apartment was very spacious, super clean and everything inside was made with great taste and design. It was a pleasure for us to stay! The hotel is like an art gallery - with great paintings and interesting literature! The view from the apartment was great!

    We were there in August for the hottest day of the year and the living room was like a greenhouse! We used the swamp cooler but it didn’t touch the heat in the room (31C!) so we opened the sliding doors to cool off but the flies came in. It cooled off quickly once the sun went down.

    We stayed in the penthouse suite for three nights and it was the nicest place we have ever stayed. The view is incredible! The private outdoor space on the deck with the hot tub was wonderful. We watched the cruiseships leave Akureyri every evening. The kitchen is well stocked and we appreciated the dishwasher. The bed and couch were very comfortable. We especially loved the art collection that made the hotel feel like an art gallery. Everything was so beautiful and quiet. We will remember this stay for the rest of our lives.

    Arrived late after the trip to Grimsey Island, and they let us use their kitchen! Very welcoming, lovely common areas surrounded by beatiful art and books. Only place where I was able to enjoy a bath. Option for breakfast also available.

    I stayed here with my child and husband, and we had a wonderful time. The room was very spacious, the beds were clean, and the interior of the building felt like an art gallery — beautifully designed. The kitchen was well-equipped and convenient for cooking, and we appreciated the large dining table and comfortable chairs. The bathroom was spotless, and the shampoo provided felt luxurious. Every detail, down to the lighting throughout the space, showed how thoughtfully the hotel was designed for guests’ comfort. Although it’s a bit outside of Akureyri city center, the peaceful and quiet surroundings made it all the more special. I would definitely come back to this place on another trip. Highly recommended!

    It was quite hot when we stayed and ventilation was a bit poor. But that’s such a rare occasion in Iceland. Breakfast looked a little basic.

    It was exceptionally clean, uncluttered but tastefully decorated. I think it’s worth staying just to peruse the art and books collection on a cozy evening. There was free tea and coffee at all times in the lounge and the owner did actually offer us use of the kitchen. The hot tubs were clean and a good temperature. Parking was easy and access to the building was easy. I would perhaps come again for a cozy winter trip and stay in an apartment with some friends.

    The attention to detail was impressive. From having the hot tub with steaming hot water ready and waiting for us when we got there (we hadn’t even asked), to having robes in the room, extra pillows and friendly, highly responsive staff, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

    For such a big apartment, the bathroom was surprisingly small. The water pressure wasn't great as well.

    We booked a two bedroom apartment and it was huge! The biggest bedrooms, living, dining areas and kitchen we had in the entire trip. The kitchen was well equipped, there was even a bbq pit and charcoal provided. The location is a little far from Akureyri town but set in quiet and beautiful surroundings. The hotel itself is interesting, lots of art pieces and cozy corners for reading. Toti was friendly and very helpful with our needs. All in all, we enjoyed our stay!

    I wish I could’ve stayed longer!

    What a gem in Akureyri countryside! At first, I thought this might be “too far” from the city, but it was a blessing to have the peacefulness just minutes away from the hustle and bustle. I felt like I was staying in a gorgeous art museum (stunning art throughout!) as this is a beautiful boutique hotel with a very unique history~ the inn keeper is very friendly and will share the story! If I’m lucky enough to return, I will definitely be staying here!

    Spacious, modern and super clean accommodation with beautiful views over the fjord. Fantastic bathroom with rain shower. We catered for ourselves with the small kitchenette in the apartment, ate out one night at Eyri Restaurant (also good), and enjoyed a cold beer in the cosy bar. Also had a nice soak in the hot tub. Fantastic Stay. Owner is super accommodating and helpful

    I liked the location of the hotel and facility itself. It is somewhat unusual building (former school) with wide corridors and tasteful decor. There were not many guests at the time we visited. The hotel was very quiet.

    We booked this because the apartment looked amazing and it didn't disappoint. We dreamed we would see the northern lights and watch whales in the nearby fjord from the hot tub. Dreams do come true... We were treated to an amazing display of aurora borialis from the panoramic rooftop terrace. And sat having a few beers in the hottub, listening to music watching whales 🐋 swim by will take some beating. One of the highlights of our week long ring road trip. If you're reading this book it! I can't add enough photos, so go see for yourself.

We stayed at numerous hotels during our two weeks in and around Iceland, and I would rate this stay as one of the best, if not the best. Incredible LARGE rooms, exceptional cleanliness, QUIET = great night sleep, great breakfast, and everyone associated with the property was friendly and personable. Hotel is also well decorated, great lighting, and windows for wonderful views. Thanks!!!
