This hotel was good! Room was clean and cozy. Close to Akureyri. Nothing incredible but good was perfectly functional!

Our family of 5 stayed in the family suite which was spacious and comfortable. The one suggestion for improvement would be to add a second sink to the common area, since there was only one shared bathroom.
This is at the edge of town, up a hill. I would not recommend for those who don’t have a car. There is a hiking trail behind the property. It is quiet and pleasant.

We thought the decor was fun and a great throwback and the locale made for a great view. The staff was overfall really friendly too!
We missed having a fridge in the room and also the shampoos and bathroom were never totally cleaned up.
What was most challenging however were the limited hot tube hours! We would have used a late night tub as well as morning tub and 5 hours in the evening were not just not conducive to our local travels and explorations,

Absolutely phenomenal and immaculately clean 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage~ fully equipped with microwave, oven, stove, refrigerator, hot tub with back out shades, modern design/vibe, tranquil setting overlooking farm with beautiful Icelandic horses. Large living room area with huge flat screen smart tv with Amazon, Hulu, Disney +, and Netflix. Large cozy sectional couch in family room that could easily sleep multiple guests.
Perfect stay for our family of 4.
Highly recommend!

Beautiful hotel!! We stayed for 2 nights and were totally charmed by its quaint feel. There is a free hot tub and sauna available to guests which is such a nice touch as well. Breakfast was also fantastic. Staff was so friendly and welcoming, one man at reception went the extra mile to walk with us and show us exactly where the sauna was when we arrived and got a little lost- thanks so much for that!! Room was perfect for what we needed it for and you are only about an 8 min drive to the city center. You also get a beautiful view from your room :) highly highly recommend!

Beautiful, cozy cabin. Made dinner for 6 here no problem. The hot tub was great. Within walking distance of a grocery store if it snows hard enough to discourage driving, which it did.

We absolutely loved this place. Our second trip here and this time we rented a cabin. These are not ordinary cabins, these are small homes with a geothermal hot tub set in a small community setting. There is even your own bbq on a huge deck. We would absolutely comeback… only next time use the cabin as our base camp for the north!

Ok overall. Only stopped for an overnight stay on our drive around Iceland, a little bit outside of town but less than 10 minute drive so easy to get to.

The rooms are clean and cozy, but very small, which is fine as they are priced accordingly compared to other hotels nearby. My daughter and I enjoyed our time there and would recommend if you're visiting Akureyri.

This is not a $450 a night hotel. It is basically a fancy version of a youth hostel. The rooms are tiny. The hotel is dirty with dead plants in the hallway windows and flies on the windowsills. The door we were told to enter through was blocked by dumpsters and trash bags.
The entire hotel smelled bad. The elevator was unusable due to the odor.
The outdoor seating area was dirty and dilapidated.
Laura at the desk was very nice , but couldn’t help. I asked to cancel the reservation, but she was unwilling.
We were in Iceland three weeks. Every hotel was great. Look at my other reviews as I post them. I have never posted a bad review until now. This hotel would have been okay at $200 a night.

We were extremely excited to stay in one of the private cottage at Hotel Kjarnalundur. We got off to a rough start with unclear directions about how to get to the cottages from the hotel - a simple map at the front desk would have been enormously helpful. After attempting to find it ourselves, we had to return to the front desk and ask for an escort, who showed us to our place. When we got inside it was clean and just as pictured, exactly what we expected. But we booked this stay for the private hot tub. As soon as I turned the water on, dirt and debris flowed out of the drain. We ran about a foot of water that was very dirty, then snapped some pics and drove back to the desk to ask for assistance. She handed us some towels, said to let it drain, and try again. We went to dinner and when we returned we wiped out all the dirt and once again tried to fill the hot tub. Same issue. We filled the tub halfway and the water was finally running clear, but we had no way to clean the tub expect to drain it again and start the whole process over. At this point we were tired, wet (outside in December), and it would have taken another 2+ hours to drain, refill, and heat the tub. We gave up. My request for a partial refund due to this unusable amenity was not honored. I had planned a lovely and relaxing night for my family and with the hours spent trying to get the hot tub working it turned into the worst stay of our trip, and the most expensive. I would not go back.

Nice and clean hotel. Friendly staff. This was the only location where i was able to see the aurora borealis.

Excellent choice of hotel if you're staying around the Akureyri area. The level of service from all the hotel staff was exceptional! Going above and beyond to please their guests and ensure everyone was satisfied.
Rooms were clean, comfortable and spacious.
Hotel is only a short drive away from the main town centre while also being ideally situated far enough to have a chance at seeing the Northern Lights. We were lucky enough, with the guidance of hotel staff, to see the Northern Lights - and during a summer month!
While the lights were barely visible from the city centre, staying at this hotel was the perfect choice as there was minimal light pollution. Left us with memories we'll forever cherish.
Will definitely stay here again on another trip around Iceland.

This place feels like a low-end converted hostel than a hotel. The rooms were in serious need of an upgrade and everything had a musty odor. We were pre-warned about the sulfur-smelling showers, but it still was hard to deal with. Housekeeping was poor as well - trash and used tea cups were left as-is after they were done.

Location was great. Overall a good hotel. Staff friendly. Was a little on the older side. Bathroom and other in-room entertainment needs better quality control. Would be nice if they offered other meals than just breakfast.

Good location 3-4 mins drive out of Akureryi. Was hoping to see the Northern Lights but it was too cloudy. Room was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed the hot tub outside and sauna.

The hotel was a nice hotel, but our least favorite of all the hotels we have stayed at thus far.
The staff was super friendly and awesome.
The bed was comfy, but none of our lights or the tv worked unless we had the bathroom light on. Was a bit frustrating.
The shower water was smelly. Smelled of sulphur.
One big plus is they stressed quiet while in the hallway containing rooms. I loved that.

It was a little way out of the main part of town so it was quiet.

Overnight stay in Akureyri while touring northern Iceland. This hotel had nothing fabulous about it. Cleanliness was below average for Iceland. It was hard to find an outlet in the room to recharge our smart phones. We eventually had to disconnect the TV to free an electric outlet. There was not enough room to lay 2 suitcases on the floor. We had to unpack one at a time.
