“Comfortable and clean. Bring your own kettle and coffee/tea, this was not included in my room.”
I booked this accommodation because it was the lowest price I could find in Akureyri. It's very central, and a nice place to stay. It's an old boarding school and has that vibe. I'm pretty happy with my stay.

“Central hotel, friendly staff.”
This a a good hotel, with free parking facilities right outside the building. The young man at the reception was extremely friendly and helpful. The room we were in did not feel particularly welcoming, however there was a wash hand basin in the room which was appreciated. The shared bathroom was very clean and allows for privacy while showering or using the toilet.
