The location was excellent—quiet and peaceful, yet conveniently close to Akureyri. The hotel was clean, and the rooms had been recently renovated. Additionally, I accidentally booked for the wrong date (a day earlier), but the owner was very understanding and accommodating, allowing us to change the reservation to the correct day on the same day we arrived.

Akureyri is a nice, fairly walkable town.

Akureyri is a nice, fairly walkable town. There is a lot to do. You can visit the downtown area, the botanical gardens, or do a whale watching trip on the fjord. Food options are plentiful. However, it can be expensive in the downtown area.

I go there many times per year, sometimes for errands, sometimes for days or weekends off. It's cute, it's cosy, wonderful cafeterias (and bakeries with great cafeterias), great restaurants, I love it. It's also very walkable if one is on vacation in town center.

I was travelling for business, but was very pleasantly surprised by Akureyri - a very nice town with good facilities, great resturants and bars, and everything within walking distance. There seemed to be a lot of things to do for tourists, but I was working so couldn't take advantage of them this time. Very picturesque location at the bottom of a Fjord, much nicer location than Rekjavik. It's a bit of a pain to get to from Rekjavik area (flight by small plane, or 5 hr drive) but well worth it once you're there.

In our opinion as a family with found Akureyri to be a more enjoyable city and atmosphere than Reykjavík. Has a very positive vibe and the whale watching was an experience of a lifetime. I would recommend at least two days probably three if you are doing a tour of Iceland. Potentially I would recommend flying here and driving clockwise on route one to Reykjavík.

I've been to Akureyri for work on 8 previous trips -- this was my first visit on vacation. I've got a bit of a soft-spot for the city, given that I have a number of friends and colleagues from there. I'm also intrigued by the fact that it seems to have the services of a much bigger city than its population of 18,000 would warrant. I imagine it is the service centre for much of the North of Iceland, hence all the 'extra' services to be found there. It can get a bit busy in summer, especially when two 5,000-passenger cruise liners are in port. I recommend the city as a base from which to visit many of the other smaller towns (Siglufjorður, Myvatn, Husavík, etc) in the region. The city itself has some must-see attractions: the botanical gardens, Akureyrarkirkja, the university grounds, the city pool, etc. Like much of Iceland the city can be expensive, but there are bargains to be had. For a great burger 'meal', check out DJ's in the centre; for good prices on groceries, go to Kronan or Bonus. Sadly, the Vinbuðin (liquor store) has moved out to the North end of town, so you need to drive or bus out to get 'cheap' alcohol. if you just want to visit the city itself, two nights and three days is enough time. If you want to use it as a base for other adventures/visits, I'd go for 5-6 days (depending on what sights you want to visit away from the city).

A pleasant town with an excellent central location for day trips on the north coast, e.g., to Lake Mývatn, Húsavík, Siglufjörður, Hrísey, Svarfaðardalur, etc. The town itself has a lovely botanical garden and a few residential houses from the 19th and early 20th century, many of which have been renovated as heritage buildings. The town offers a range of services, including a first-rate hospital and a lovely shopping complex. It has many walking paths in Kjarnaskógur, an 18-hole golf course and skiing facilities in winter. For cultural activities, there is a music hall and several local museums, offering a range of exhibits on history and the arts. There is a good selection of restaurants in town and a range of hotels.

Nice location, handy for everything. Good taxi company a couple of minutes walk for lifts to Forest Lagoon, airport, local attractions and activities. Shops within easy walk in all directions. Centrum Kitchen and Bar, which runs Hotel Apotek, is right next door, with really nice staff and great breakfasts. Plus, they will store luggage if needed! Room was clean, and the shower was good. There is a great kitchen/lounge on the top floor for self catering.

Hotel very close to the center (2 minutes walk). Friendliness at reception. Small but modern and comfortable room. This was one of the rare hotels I've been in Iceland where the curtains allowed total black out, which is extremely relevant in the Icelandic summer. Good parking space. Very good varied and complete breakfast, however the restaurant is small so some of the customers had breakfast in the reception hall.

Hotel KEA exceeded my expectations from the friendly hotel and cleaning staff to the breakfast room and bar. There was opportunity to sit outside ,right in the centre of town, with the drink or food of one's choice and the view of the Akureyri Church on the rise above the hotel was exhilarating. I would definitely stay here again.

A strategic stop for anyone on a road trip. The property is very welcoming and the staff is fantastic. On the ground floor, there’s a restaurant/bar where we had two excellent Icelandic gin and tonics. Great breakfast.
