The self service check-in and out is very convenient. There’s also a reception area but we didn’t meet anyone of the staff in our stay. Anyway they always respond via booking and they’re always willing to help. The accommodation in Akureyri is up on a very slope road and on the day we stayed in the city it was snowing so the road was also slippery. We recommend people to drive very carefully and use a 4x4 car with appropriate winter tires. There are multiple parking spots nearby. The room was on the first floor and it was a bit difficult to carry our heavy luggage. The room was by far the best one we’ve booked in our trip in Iceland. It was very spacious, the bed was big, it had different windows so natural light could pass through, the host provided us fresh towels, sheets, there was a hairdryer and a mini fridge as well. The bathroom was amazing, it felt luxurious. It had a tub big enough to fit 2 people, a small shower and a little balcony with a nice view of the streets and trees covered in snow. It was a really nice experience, thanks

Great location, right at the centre of the town. The apartment was cozy and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable and the wifi worked fine. There were provisions for making your own coffee. I would definitely return to this place.

Nicely placed, close to Akureyri and Mývatn. I had not gotten the key box code when I got there, but a quick call to the "reception" solved that issue perfectly. Thanks for the stay!

The guesthouse had good facilities and the self check-in information was clear. Also, the communication with the owner was easy. The location was good, near the swimming pool, but there's a steep climb from the bus station. For drivers there is parking space next to the guesthouse.

    This lovely guesthouse is a gem. The rooms are clean, warm and cosy. But the best part of the stay is the lovely host Elisabeth. She offered to prepare us dinner, because the stay is away from any other restaurants. She allowed us access to the washer and drier, so we could clean and dry our bathing suits and towels. All the little handmade details, the selected decorations and dishes give this place a special soul. The breakfast was delicious also, with everything you could want. Would really recommend this stay.
