2.5 / 5.0
Absolutely loved the Kea hotel. Outstanding location with loads of restaurants, shopping and parking areas close by. Very centrally located in Akuryeri right in the middle of our ring road round trip. Ease of booking, comfortable rooms and good service

Lovely property. Only gripe is the rooms are entirely too small.

For all that is good an holy, do not stay here on a weekend. AGAIN: DO NOT STAY HERE, PLENTY OF OTHER OPTIONS IN TOWN!
It doesn't matter how nice the hotel is or how good the location. You pay a premium for that anyways.
In the elevator, there is a sign that says "please be quiet after 11 PM" - which is super!
But then, the hotel bar/restaurant will have a DJ blasting music in their venue until 1 AM - and they know about it! So forget sleeping. At time the staff on duty can't do anything. They offered to stick in into a sub-basement room with a tiny window under ceiling in the corner (yes, you read that right), at the end of the hotel - where you could still hear the music. Obviously also not where I wanted to be.
Hotels.com was of no help either.
AGAIN, DO NOT STAY HERE!

The only concern I had about the facility is that the hotel has no onsite parking. You park on the street for free up till 10 AM. Afther that you have to pay for parking. Something to be award of.

Disappointing. Astonished to find out the room was in a different section of the hotel with no access to the lobby. Entrance is through a small side door. Hallway is narrow and dark. Room is small. Even with a window, we could not open it because what we saw is only 2 staircases - one staircase is fire escape staircase and the other one leads to the rooftop. Parking is on the street.
5.0 / 5.0
Enjoyed my stay at Keahotels which was central to a lot of dining & shopping in Akureyri.
Really liked the room as well as the offered breakfast, too.
My only negative would be that there seemed to be inexplainable banging & knocking around the building, which did make it quite loud, especially into the evening hours.

Extremely noisy, drunks were so loud at the hotel bar and kept us up late into the night, leaving the bar revving their engines like maniacs, worst nights sleep on our entire Iceland trip. Room was decent but shower was extremely small, if you’re a big person you would have difficulty lifting your arms. If you’re looking to party this would be your place but not a place to stay with your 12 yr old.
1.5 / 5.0
Nice hotel and staff, however, no parking on site and rooms on the 2nd floor cause you to have to go up and down multiple elevators and travers hallways to get to your room. Neither are convenient for traveling with luggage. Otherwise, had a nice stay.

4.0 / 5.0
The hotel is in a cute town with shopping and beautiful sites. The hotel was comfortable and staff were helpful.
Our room was located above the outside bar patio and was very loud. It also had a lounge area next to our room on the 3rd floor. Definitely not quiet.
The manager did relocate us on the second night to a quieter room.

Location of this hotel is perfect. You can to anything you need to on foot so easily. Staff were really helpful in directing us to free parking. But you can pull up right to the hotel to load up or unload which is super handy.
Room was lovely. We had a terrace facing the water with our room. The terraces are not very private from the other rooms that also have them but not an issue.
Bathroom let the room down. The shower cubicle was tiny even though there is clearly space for a larger one.
Bar area is lovely with large outdoor terrace. There were seating areas on the landings of each floor which is a nice touch.
Breakfast was extremely disappointing. Seemingly lots of options but everything just not very nice. Heard lots of people around us comment on this.
Staff at reception were all super nice. Would happily stay again.

4.0 / 5.0
I arrived early and was grateful for the quick check-in to my room. Also, it was very helpful that they held my luggage upon departure, demonstrating great hospitality. However, I was a bit bothered by people passing by outside since my room was on the first floor. While closing the curtains could solve this, it made the room quite cold as the heating wouldn't work effectively. Nonetheless, the room was very clean, and I enjoyed the shower, which I believe was a hot spring, it was very refreshing.

The property was centrally located in town. Walkable to restaurants, shopping and water activities. The restaurant associated with the hotel was great. Nice variety for breakfast. A lovely experience

A perfect stop on our travel around the Ring Road- just before taking on a bit of the Arctic Ring. March 2024

We visited for our 30th anniversary and had a wonderful time. The room was cozy and clean. Breakfast was great, and the staff were very helpful and courteous. The location is fantastic--close to shops and restaurants and the lovely church is a stone's throw away. We loved both Akureyri and Hotel Kea!

One night stay on ring road itinerary. Location was convenient to downtown area. Clean room, nice view from the room. They have an ice maker on the 2nd floor which was a nice surprise. They also have a fan provided in the room for air circulation. Only downside is parking can be difficult to find depending on time of arrival.

Did not like the parking options and the rooms are extremely small with little airflow.
1.0 / 5.0
Outdated hotel with a strong smell, disappointing breakfast, No parking, definitely not worth the price. One small elevator serves all 5 floors is always busy with a long wait.
The only positive comment is about the amazing staff who helped above and beyond any expectations. I wish that I knew the name of the front desk person who went out in the rain to find a parking spot for us.

2.0 / 5.0
Hotel was very old fashioned. The worst kea hotel in Iceland I have experienced. Breakfast room was like an old fashioned banquetimg facility with absolutely no charme. Breakfast choice was disappoiinting. This can never be considered as a 4-star hotel. Not worth the money.
