Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a unique former cinema location with fun film-related flourishes, right next to the sidewalk and really close to the lively bars in central Akureyri. It's also conveniently close to the town center. The hotel offers a comfortable stay with some exciting surrounding areas and cozy vibes but might lack some modern amenities.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, being in a former cinema with lots of film-related flourishes, and so close to the center of Akureyri with bars around. The rooms are comfortable, and the service was top-notch with a welcome drink. The dining experience, especially the mouth-watering Hungarian beef stew, was a highlight. The facilities were great, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel is located really close to the bars in central Akureyri, making it a lively spot to stay. The rooms are spacious and modern, providing a comfortable stay. The service is excellent, with a welcome drink adding a nice touch upon arrival. However, the dining options are limited, and the facilities could use some updates.
