We stayed in the penthouse suite for three nights and it was the nicest place we have ever stayed. The view is incredible! The private outdoor space on the deck with the hot tub was wonderful. We watched the cruiseships leave Akureyri every evening. The kitchen is well stocked and we appreciated the dishwasher. The bed and couch were very comfortable. We especially loved the art collection that made the hotel feel like an art gallery. Everything was so beautiful and quiet. We will remember this stay for the rest of our lives.

We were there in August for the hottest day of the year and the living room was like a greenhouse! We used the swamp cooler but it didn’t touch the heat in the room (31C!) so we opened the sliding doors to cool off but the flies came in. It cooled off quickly once the sun went down.

It was exceptionally clean, uncluttered but tastefully decorated. I think it’s worth staying just to peruse the art and books collection on a cozy evening. There was free tea and coffee at all times in the lounge and the owner did actually offer us use of the kitchen. The hot tubs were clean and a good temperature. Parking was easy and access to the building was easy. I would perhaps come again for a cozy winter trip and stay in an apartment with some friends.

It was quite hot when we stayed and ventilation was a bit poor. But that’s such a rare occasion in Iceland. Breakfast looked a little basic.

I stayed here with my child and husband, and we had a wonderful time. The room was very spacious, the beds were clean, and the interior of the building felt like an art gallery — beautifully designed. The kitchen was well-equipped and convenient for cooking, and we appreciated the large dining table and comfortable chairs. The bathroom was spotless, and the shampoo provided felt luxurious. Every detail, down to the lighting throughout the space, showed how thoughtfully the hotel was designed for guests’ comfort. Although it’s a bit outside of Akureyri city center, the peaceful and quiet surroundings made it all the more special. I would definitely come back to this place on another trip. Highly recommended!

We booked a two bedroom apartment and it was huge! The biggest bedrooms, living, dining areas and kitchen we had in the entire trip. The kitchen was well equipped, there was even a bbq pit and charcoal provided. The location is a little far from Akureyri town but set in quiet and beautiful surroundings. The hotel itself is interesting, lots of art pieces and cozy corners for reading. Toti was friendly and very helpful with our needs. All in all, we enjoyed our stay!

For such a big apartment, the bathroom was surprisingly small. The water pressure wasn't great as well.

What a gem in Akureyri countryside! At first, I thought this might be “too far” from the city, but it was a blessing to have the peacefulness just minutes away from the hustle and bustle. I felt like I was staying in a gorgeous art museum (stunning art throughout!) as this is a beautiful boutique hotel with a very unique history~ the inn keeper is very friendly and will share the story! If I’m lucky enough to return, I will definitely be staying here!

I wish I could’ve stayed longer!

We were in a one bedroom apartment. Rooms are huge and the whole building has an airy white modern feel. Basics in the kitchenette, we did not find salt and pepper, but otherwise you get plenty functional utensils pots and pans. Beds are very comfy and the bathroom is huge. Everything is spotless, smells nice and looks brand new. Not one flaw. Morning cappuccino was delicious. Location is beautiful and the collection cars in the back yard adds to the luxury feel. Although I do not know why the school closed in the 80s, spending a night in this place is truly a special experience, happy that the school was given a new purpose and it is so nicely maintained. Such a bang for the buck! This was probably the best place we stayed in Iceland and one of the best we ever stayed in through our travels in years!

This is by-far the best hotel we stayed in Iceland. We enjoyed the location and the facility that much, we ended up staying for breakfast. Breakfast was excellent with pancake on that day.This is like a 5-star hotel, with huge room, a separate bedroom with kingsize bed, a living room with smartTV, kitchenette with full amenities, and huge bathroom. The bed is very comfortable, the internet is strong where we can stream online movies. We love the artworks inside the building throughout. The view of the snowy mountain and water view were great! Love to stay here for more days.

Nothing.

We booked this because the apartment looked amazing and it didn't disappoint. We dreamed we would see the northern lights and watch whales in the nearby fjord from the hot tub. Dreams do come true... We were treated to an amazing display of aurora borialis from the panoramic rooftop terrace. And sat having a few beers in the hottub, listening to music watching whales 🐋 swim by will take some beating. One of the highlights of our week long ring road trip. If you're reading this book it! I can't add enough photos, so go see for yourself.

The old school now, a beautifully renovated hotel, is such a pleasure to stay in. It is unlike any other hotel in that it's an art gallery displaying the owners extensive collection of icelandic art. The rooms are comfortable, with plenty of space, stylishly decorated, and views over the lake. The beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is adequate. There is also a collection of old cars.displayed.we loved this location out of the hassle and bustle of Akureyri. Down in the small village below is Eyri, a very nice restaurant well recommended.

Spacious, modern and super clean accommodation with beautiful views over the fjord. Fantastic bathroom with rain shower. We catered for ourselves with the small kitchenette in the apartment, ate out one night at Eyri Restaurant (also good), and enjoyed a cold beer in the cosy bar. Also had a nice soak in the hot tub. Fantastic Stay. Owner is super accommodating and helpful

Everything was great.
