Top Northern Iceland Hotel Reviews

Centrum Hotel

8/10 Good

"If you stay at the Centrum, keep in mind you are at the epicenter of the downtown area. During the day, it is very busy. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and we loved how close the location was (with the Green Hat concert hall a block away) and the restaurant. We had an excellent dinner our first night at the hotel. It is close to everything - a walk up the street to the church and botanical gardens, and tons of dining options all around. We were a little surprised by the park across the street - which was well used by families and teens all day and into the night. They were gearing up to paint - so the noise from the park (kids banging on metal xylophone) and the construction was ever present. But again, you are sitting in the hub of downtown Akureyri. Also - you can't pull up to the hotel in the summertime because they close the street. It was a little tricky to figure out how to park and check in, but the hotel was very clear in what to expect upon our arrival."

Fosshotel Husavik

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasantly surprised by this place. The staff was super helpful. I had a late check-in and wanted to get some dinner before everything closes. The front desk staff helped me ask the hotel restaurant to hold a spot while I get ready. I cannot overstate how helpful this was. (You'll find this super helpful when travelling through Iceland!). The room was quite impressive. High ceilings. Big windows and top tier amenities. The hotel lobby was also quite pleasant. The place is located in a good spot in Husavik. I was able to walk to the cool church in town, view the harbor and go to the nearby thermal pools."

Hótel Laxá

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Laxa is located by lake myvatn, a little further away from all the farmhouses which puts in a quiet location with views all round of Myvatn and still convenient. The staff at hotel are extremely helpful and friendly. They have a nice bar with quiet places for work and a game room as well. I stayed for 3 nights and loved it, and would highly recommend."
