Hotel Edda Akureyri

8/10 Good

"A basic hotel but did everything expected."

Hotel Sveinbjarnargerdi

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so kind and attentive! Room and bathroom were clean and tidy. Breakfast was delicious and offered a wide variety of breakfast options. The hot tub and sauna felt so good after a long day of hiking and driving the ring road. We liked that it was quiet and off the Ring Road a bit."

Hótel Laxá

10/10 Excellent

"This property was our financial splurge while on the Ring Road for 6 days, right in the middle and perfectly timed. Very comfortable room, quiet, plenty of amenities, restaurant, games and relaxing areas. The food in the restaurant, while pricey, was beyond flavourful expectations. A must stay for travellers that can spoil themselves!"
