Top Ljosavatn Hotel Reviews

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful place, very clean, easy check in and great location! Highly recommended!"

Hotel Godafoss

10/10 Excellent

"Ubicacion privilegiada"

Centrum Hotel

8/10 Good

"Biggest knock is that the street the entry is on is pedestrian only and the only places to park are pay lots during the day. But they do have a laundry room."

Hotel Halond

10/10 Excellent

"So, this is a somewhat unusual hotel in that there were effectively no visible staff during my entire stay. Access to the building and to my room was via a pin code sent me (it came through Expedia’s message system and since the email notifications connected to it get mostly filtered into spam by gmail, I had a moment of panic while driving to Akureyri that I would arrive in the wee hours of the morning and not be able to access a room I paid for, but fortunately, that was not an issue. I didn’t get the breakfast either of the two mornings that I was there, so I can’t comment on that. The room was the nicest of all the rooms I stayed in while in Iceland and the in-room television supports Airplay so I was able to do things like watch streaming videos or play music from my phone to it which was nice. The one lack I would point at would be that the rooms have fridges but not microwaves, so don’t expect to make yourself a hot meal in your room, but otherwise, it was a great place to stay and should I ever return to Akureyri, I will definitely stay here again."

Hafnarstræti Hostel

8/10 Good

"We had a good stay here. The kitchen was a fully-equipped industrial kitchen with a very efficient dishwasher and lots of utensils, as well of heaps of space to sit in the common area. There was also free coffee and tea. Plenty of bathrooms were provided and they were clean and comfortable. The staff were also friendly to us. The pods were comfortable and there was a lot of room to store your belongings, as well as more room on shelves outside (less safe, but that wasn't an issue for us). The little lights in the pods didn't seem to go out at night, which was a little annoying, but we just covered them up. There was a TV in the pod that you could cast to, so that was nice, and the Wi-Fi worked well—I was able to take several Zoom calls with no issues. The soundproofing between the pods and the hallways isn't great, and it didn't seem like quiet hours were enforced. A large group of teenagers were quite loud during the night, so that was a bit frustrating and disrupted our sleep. Luggage storage was provided, but as it cost money, most people just seemed to put their bags on the shelves."

"A good quality friendly hotel with good breakfast and a good restaurant for evening meals and good bedrooms for a very reasonable price and only 20 minutes walk down to the harbour, 10 minutes walk to the centre and shops. Would recommend."

"Very clean, well staffed, comfy beds. Great breakfast buffet included. Hot tub!"
