    Everything was great! The location, the quality and cleanliness of the rooms and the breakfast which had a lot of options and everything was fresh and really great! They also had a great process for a really late check-in.

    The view. The construction out the window was disappointing. I wish that the reception area, the breakfast area etc. were in one hotel vs two separate buildings.

    The room was modern and clean. The view was lacking as we overlooked construction of another building. The breakfast was delicious and everything was walkable and convenient to Forest Lagoon. It was everything we were looking for our one night stay on our Ring Road trip.

    Good location . Beautifully decorated-visited two years ago and couldn’t believe transformation! Would suggest extra hooks in the bathroom for towels and also a mirror in the bedroom area. Only one in bathroom. Also milk as well as coffee pods -could also offer decaf coffee as my partner has heart condition and unable to drink normal coffee. Apart from that overall excellence!

    The only thing I missed was some sugar and milk for the coffee capsule machine on the room.

    Completely new/newly renovated hotel extremely close to downtown Akureyri. Very friendly staff, very comfortable room and tasteful decoration and furniture everywhere. Bed with extremely good and comfortable matress! The hotel is Iceland-typical expensive, but worth it!!

    The main strange thing is that the room card stops working at exact checkout time at 11, and locks you out. So, if you want to get the last bag, it’s impossible - you are unauthorized to enter. We’ve never experienced this shutting treatment and exactly the minute checkout closes. If they are so strict, which is strange, this needs to be alarmed upon checked in and reminded. Most rooms have views either of a construction building or a wall of mud, so no daylight comes to the rooms and no views should be expected. Sink is too small and shower not properly designed, so too much water on the floor.

    Fresh and new hotel, good central location, great breakfast in a stylish room, nice lounge zone

    It can get busy at breakfast to the point where it gets difficult to find a seat. We still really much liked our stay, there‘s just a few minor things that seem a little „not thought through“: the elevator is busy in peak times and takes a while which can be a little frustrating especially if you’d only need to go up 1 floor - couldn’t find a staircase to use which isn’t just a fire escape. The sink is too small to properly wash your face but then the window or coat hangers are super high up so not sure if it was built for short or tall people. Nonetheless definitely recommendable and a really nice building!

    Great location, great breakfast selection and comfy beds!

    The room 203 was quite a bit musty, it really hit you in the face when you entered. Seemed to be due to lack of ventilation in the bathroom. Having the window open the entire time barely made a difference.

    Fantastic location, good breakfast, very warm and friendly staff, decent sized room.

    See above.

    Staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was small but adequate. There was no chair to sit on and I had to stand up on the mattress to open and close the window, dangerous for me. It's in a great location for all venues. My window had a view to the water

    The breakfast could be varied a little while it was good quality I stayed for 4 days and it was the same each morning. In the newer building I stayed the halls are hard flooring and it was frustrating hearing people walk all nigh to their rooms. The locks on the doors are very very poorly designed you have to slam them shut and when trying to sleep you can hear every door opening. The shower screens are very small and water goes everywhere in the bathroom. The light switches on the walls are so far from the bed you need to get out of bed to turn them off.

    The rooms were large brand newly renovated and clean. The beds were comfortable
