I was unable to stay at this hotel. Staff messaged me and said I was double booked. Staff said to go to another hotel and they would book a room. I was put up at another hotel which worked out. Unfortunately I am unable to confirm the reviews of this one since I never got a chance to stay there. Staff person was helpful even though changing plans and staying somewhere with worse reviews and a more expensive breakfast was unfortunate.

This was a great place to sleep after a long day of exploring. We were lucky and got a spot right out front! Parking seemed like a bit of a challenge depending on the time.This was in walking distance to a lot of cute shops. We did not stay for breakfast but the description sounded yummy.

La struttura che abbiamo scelto per il nostro soggiorno di due giorni a ad Akureyri era una grande camera con bagno, posta al pianterreno di una vecchia dimora del '900. Letto matrimoniale comodo sebbene un po' alto, bagno essenziale ma pulito, con un buon box doccia. Il signore che si occupa della reception e della colazione, è un anziano molto gentile e disponibile. La sera prima ti chiede a che ora vuoi consumare la colazione, che ti prepara lui stesso. Sono disponibili dolci, brioche, poi cibo salato come formaggio, prosciutto cotto, salame, pomodori, cetrioli, succhi di frutta, yoghurt, latte, cereali, oltre a macchina per il caffè, forno a micro onde. Il locale è una coloratissima cucina stile anni'60. L'abitazione è a pochi minuti dal centro di Akureyri. Parcheggio sulla strada, in zona non a pagamento. Molto consigliato

Sjarmerende plass

Flott beliggenhet. Kun en bratt bakke ned til sentrum. Sjarmerende plass og hyggelig og hjelpsom vert. Alltid kaffe og te i resepsjon. Frokost plassen må oppleves. Et kjøkken i pastellfarger, dekket til to, utrolig koselig. Frokosten inneholdt alt du trenger.

My one night stay at FE Gisting Guesthouse was lovely! Just up the hill from the city center of Akureyri, it was a five minute walk to many shops, bars, historical/art interest points, and restaurants. On-street parking was easy to find, free, and safe. The home is very sweet and adorable, the office/lobby area beautifully decorated. The bedroom I stayed in was in the front of the house, but I did not encounter much noise. En suite bathroom with shower, comfortable clean linens, a small refrigerator, and a tv were in the room. Coffee and tea provided in the main room. An excellent value overall! Akureyri was a really cool little city, and the proximity, safety, and overall vibe of FE Gisting made it one of my favorite guesthouses in Iceland. (Also there is a public pool across the street, which I sadly did not experience! But next time!!)
