There was nothing that bothered me. Some people might be bothered by the distance from downtown Akureyri, it is not within a walking distance from any resturant or store.

Hótel Hálönd is located up in the hills overlooking Akureyri. The view is amazing. The hotel has no lobby. We got an access code sent, to open the room. During our stay we never met anyone from the hotel, but had we needed to there were means to, via phone or email. The hallways are clean and modern looking. The room was spacious and very clean. It had a balcony overlooking Akureyri. During the ski season this is the best place to stay. Breakfast can be bought (we didn't). There are hot tubs for guests to use, nice all year round, but must be great after a day of skiing.

Would have been better with supplied free breakfast with stay . Would be nice to control the heat in the room. It was very warm.

There was no breakfast supplied as a free perk for staying at hotel. Location was fine. Kinda out of the way but fine

The room was specious and being able to park our car right in front our room was so nice to carry our stuff in side. There’s a common kitchen with microwave, kettle and fridge, no stoves. We didn’t use it but there is also washer dryer in the building.

Everything was good.

By far the best hotel we stayed in Iceland! Room was modern, clean and comfortable. In the room you can find cups, glasses, wine glasses, bottle opener, coffee machine with capsules. The view from the hotel is breathtaking. There is laundry room ad. kitchen that you can use. In the kitchen there is kettle, microwave and toaster, in a frigde you can find some food that other people have left. Easy check in.

i cannot complain of anything. maybe the only thing i could say -and it has nothing to do with this hotel- is that you need a car to reach the location or to go to the town, because it is close to the ski slope of the town so it is at the outskirts of it.

i loved the cleaness i think this is one of the very few hotels where all was really clean. also for breakfast, you have to make a breakfast request one day before but we chose not to have brakfast to the facility. although, in the morning i drank my coffee to the breakfast room and i can say they were having a rustic but generous swedish type of breakfast. they had boiled eggs, 2-3 types of meat, cheese, butter, nutella, confiture, fruits, 3 different kinds of cakes, milk, oat milk, almondmilk. so it was ok from what i could see.

- no staff on site so you need to figure out everything yourself and some of the stuff is not very obvious (we were wondering if we can use the washer but have no one to ask about)

- everything, very spacious room, the room has everything you need including hairdryer (thanks!)

Very clean and basic needs met. Laundry was useful.

It’s clean and has everything one needs. Shared spaces are also great. We loved the hot tub (even though it could have been a little bit warmer).

Many flies around in the room and in kitchen, “home smell” : supposed to be a good home smell but I hate such smell. The kitchen is nice but would be great to have some utilities in it, glass, bread knife etc.

Location , facilities.

Self check in, easy communication with host, very modern hotel room with a balcony, view from balcony to the city and sea - very pretty, it is quiet in the room and also in the hotel area, possesses a whirlpool if needed, has a fridge, free coffee and a couch, dining table as well as a small desk, curtains which makes the room dark during sleep, the room has a safe, only 10 min drive by car to the next supermarket - I would come back if needed :)

The beds too smal, not comfortable.

Stayed in August 2025

The bathroom smelled musty. The pillows on the bed were awful, they were completely flat, there were however other pillows provided but we didn’t notice them until we were packing up to leave.

It was clean and modern. The self check in was nice. The bed was comfortable.

That we had to leave :)

Amazing clean, spacious room, with nice and quiet view

The only issue we encountered was with the shower drain — it didn’t work very well, so water would spill over and start to flow into the bedroom area. Other than that, everything was great and we enjoyed our time there.

The place was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

No provision to cook in the kitchen, an induction or hotplate is needed.

Everything was on point

Stayed in August 2025

It was nice, clean and cozy, stuffed with almost everything you may need, would only have been great to have a little kettle and a tea option, not only coffee capsules.

Stayed in August 2025

We would not call this a hotel because there were no staff present on site. Nor was it an apartment because there were no cooking facilities

Room was fairly spacious, clean and attractive

Cleanliness could be improved as the floor was a little dirty. There was not a single member of staff in the entire accommodation.

Spacious room with enough chairs, sofa, desk, wardrobe, and small coffee/tea station. Spacious bathroom. Good access to the room from the parking lot. Comfortable beds and pillows. Good TV.
