“I appreciate the blend of historical charm and modern design here; the location is convenient for exploring Akureyri. The hyper-local dining experience, with its on-site urban farm, stands out, although some past guests mention breakfast service can be chaotic.
This seems like a good choice if you are looking for a place to stay close to city center.”
