FE Gisting

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.

Place is very easy to find and minutes from everything.

The hotel is in a beautiful small town.

Lovely, friendly and polite staff/hosts. Clean and comfortable room. Quiet, good value for money, facilities all I needed.

Our host was very helpful. Helped us jump our car when we left the lights on overnight!

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.

Location is near the harbor, restaurants, and shops

Great location, easy to walk everywhere you want to explore/visit. Free street parking onsite available. Super comfortable beds with lots of space in your private room.

Excellent views of surrounding area

Nice location that close to attractions in the city. And the room is neat and looks comfortable! Also the staff served me with gentle and patient manner.

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!!)

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!

Wonderful guesthouse with great artwork and a very kind proprietor. Also: excellent bedding!

Great littl find easy to park Friendly owner

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.
