Hotel Kea enjoys a prime location in the heart of Akureyri, placing you just steps away from the iconic church and close to convenient parking. Guests appreciate the modern, clean rooms, some of which offer balconies and views of the city and lake. A good selection for breakfast and dinner is available, even though a few guests have found some noise due to the central location.
