Hafdals Hotel

great location, with amazing views of the city

Loved the view

Easy check in and nice staff. Absolutely beautiful view from the room.

The gentleman at the front desk was lovely and had a lot of wonderful recommendations. The small feel of the hotel was wonderful and the inclusion of breakfast was a huge perk! The view was beautiful and we were able to walk out our door and see the northern lights. Highly recommend!!!

Clean, basic and modern bedroom and bath. Basic but fresh and nice breakfast. Most amazing was the view of the fjord, bridge, and Akureyri.

Excellent property, clean and new rooms, and great breakfast. It was close to town, great view, and close to Forest Lagoon. We’ll stay here again.

Our stay at Hafdals Hotel was excellent. Awesome deck. Great breakfast. Outstanding place to stay. I highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing views. Great Host

This was a find. Comfortable bed and linen. Great breakfast. Amazing views. Accomodating innkeeper. I would stay here again.

Great large room with stunning view towards city. The breakfast was nicely set out and offered many options The host was most pleasant and helpful Would recommend this option as it’s not right downtown where parking is not easy

On the hillside across the fjord from the airport and town, it was in the middle of having an extension when we were there (boy, Icelandic builders are hardy) so was a little out of sorts. That said, it is kept in immaculate order, and I’m sure the extension will be great. Currently it’s just 8 rooms, and won’t be so much bigger next year, but will have an internal lift so you don’t have to go outside to get to the lower rooms. There isn’t a restaurant, but the breakfast buffet is a good start to the day. If you have a car (and you really need one if you are traveling independently around here) it’s a short drive to downtown with a couple of gnarly turns after dark.

Appreciated the view, the breakfast and the accommodating host. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend to others!

It is about 10 minutes from downtown. The hotel is family owned and operated, he was very attentive and took care of us while there. No dinner there, breakfast is very simple. Small bathroom but adequate. We chose the hotel so we can be away from the city but near to benefit from all the restaurants and stores. We lucked out the night we were there, we saw aurora at around 1:00 AM. It was a bonus treat.

By far the best hotel we stayed at in Iceland. The hotel is situated upon a hill overlooking Akureyri and the magnificent waterfront. The room offers a breathtaking view of the waterfront and I felt like I could spend hours just staring at the view. The hotel has a handful of rooms and that adds to the very quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The rooms are quite clean and spacious and very elegantly furnished. The floor to ceiling windows and the private patio allow you to soak in the amazing view. We found the breakfast to be simple but yet wholly adequate. My wife and I are vegetarians but we felt very satisfied with the options on offer. The only very minor feedback we would have is to keep the slices of cheese separate from the slices of meat at breakfast. Since people tend to use the same serving fork for both the meat and cheese, the vegetarians may feel uncomfortable taking the cheese. There is also ample free parking available at the property.

Room was among the best of the trip, very large with a big bathroom. Very well appointed. Breakfast was typical Icelandic fare. Owner was great, but we arrived about 20 min prior to check in and were not greeted warmly. Easy drive to the city.

Fabulous views, comfortable room and excellent service. Can’t be beat.

The views from the rooms are spectacular overlooking the city and estuary and the rooms are beautifully maintained with a great shower and bathroom. In the room was a coffee machine which during out stay was replenished daily. Breakfast was included and was buffet style with cold meats,cheese, pastries and fruit all very nice. The owner was very helpful with ideas for our stay. The drive into the city takes around 10 minutes and there is free evening parking in the centre. Highly recommended.

The view from the hotel is stunning. Everything was great overall. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay, beautiful property. The young man that checked us in was very helpful and professional. Our view was incredible and the room was very nice. The breakfast fresh and tasty. My 6'5" husband loved the shower.

We were made very welcome and enjoyed our single night here. The view from our room was stunning. Akureyri is a short drive away and has some lovely restaurants. Choice at breakfast was great!
