Wonderful

This is a charming guesthouse with just the right amenities—great shower, coffee in the morning. The guest house is across the street and steps from the city bath house and also walking distance from the shops downtown.

Besides our room covered in dust, this was a great location (with free easy parking) that allowed us to enjoy the city and walk around.
Old large house about three blocks Above restaurants, so make sure you can walk upgrade, no problem for us. Small room. Gentleman in charge very helpful. Very nice walking town, great botanical garden and old town area. Glad we spent 2 nights here.
I love the room I stay in! I wish i could have stay for more than one night. The owner was very
Friendly and helpful. He even took the time to print out instructions to my car rental agency in Reykjavik!
Very clean and warm. Mr. Gisting goes beyond the call of duty to please guests. Good location, not far from downtown. Comfortable. Quiet. Mr. Gisting knows the area and was extremely helpful during my visit. Great conversations. Thank you! Takk!
Great location in a bustling little town. Flexible with my schedule and unknown arrival time as well as allowing me to wake up and leave on my own time to get an early start to my day.
Very comfortable bed and plenty of room although bathroom a bit cramped. Nice furnishings, pleasant and helpful manager. The street is a busy one so can be noisy with traffic at peak times morning and evening as property on a hill. Also guest house is noisy as my room was on the ground floor so could hear noise from upstairs and the owners part of the house.
Also the room I had was off the lobby so people coming and going made it noisy and no privacy from the street or other guests if the blinds were up. Would suggest putting the type of blinds that can go up from bottom to give privacy in this room as all the others are upstairs.
It was like staying at your grandmother‘s house and was just as welcoming. It appears to be an old single-family home that they’ve converted into private rooms. I believe I stayed and what it was once their front parlor complete with a spinet piano. Overall, it was a lovely quiet stay.
Our room was very spacious and was walkable to shops and restaurants. So long as you don’t mind the walk back up the hill. Only complaint is the water that had the sulfur smell which in turn made the room smell a bit.
This was a great stay right in the heart of Akureyri and close to all the attractions. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and well maintained. Great stay!
The staff waited for me after I got caught up in fog on the mountain and driving a long distance.
The room was eclectic as I think it was a living room. It had a piano in it and some living room furniture.
Also the place doesn’t have a sign or big name letters on the building. Very tough to find but I was able to park at the Masonic temple.
Thank you for stay up late and helping me.
The room is huge and overlooks the main road in town, but there was no noticeable noise in the room. The bathroom is also huge and has separate bathtub. You can walk to the main part of town and the local public pool and park. Parking is on the street, but was easy to find.
