Okay....I always read any negative reviews for hotels we book in order to get an overall view, & so many negative reviews are based on one-off experiences that may be unlikely to occur with anyone else....& such might be our case. So take this review with that in mind. First....the hotel is outside of Akureyri, but if you're looking at this you already know that. And it's less than ten minutes to drive, so it's fine. But the location is picturesque & very quiet, which was fantastic. Now...we stayed here in the 'off-season' so there was no staff there when we arrived & we couldn't find that they'd emailed us a PIN to enter the property (which may be the fault of the Bookings site rather than the hotel, we don't know). So it took a phone call to enter the property...& because it was the off-season (& as Australians we didn't really think this part through) the bar wasn't open for operation, & I was REALLY looking forward to having a beer whist gazing out at the amazing landscape. Sadly, that didn't happen...but that's not really the hotel's fault, just something to be aware of. Then we needed a PIN for our room, which also wasn't supplied in advance, so we had to call the proprietors & the girl on the phone wasn't totally sure how to use the room's PIN pad, so it took a bit of time to get into our room. And then our room was, surprisingly, very hot. Too hot, far too hot to sleep, believe it or not. I even went around the unoccupied bar area & turned down all the heating in an attempt to cool things down (the heater in our room wasn't on) but it didn't seem to have any affect. We called the proprietors again (no staff were onsite at all) & they were admittedly very helpful & apologetic. The manager (I think...?) came out personally to help us & he was very friendly, doing what he could for us.

Our room was very hot...it wasn't winter but the hotel's heaters were all too hot & as it wasn't staffed so they weren't there to modulate the temperature. Also, we didn't receive any emails or notices to inform us of a PIN to enter the hotel or another PIN to enter our room & it took several calls to get it sorted.

We booked a room in the hotel. When we checked in, we asked about their nearby apartments. They had one available and for an extra fee, we were able to stay in a quite new apartment with a private hot tub on the patio. The mountain views are exceptional. Everything in the apartment was modern and new. The beds were nice. The black out blinds worked great. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes & pots & pans. We would stay here again.

The bathroom lighting wasn’t great. We could have used some paper towels.

Pretty location. Very kind owner. Breakfast not included. no microwave. the over partially worked (one of 3 knobs worked). Note that you are expected to clean your own dishes prior to leaving or be charged for it. cute cookies included (two little sheep cookies) no real room to lay out luggage. noisy as I heard everyone's footsteps on top of us until they went to bed and this is not what I have experienced at a typical hotel which has better insulation. A little hard to find. ended up using Google maps as Waze sent us down some other location about 1/4 mile prior

Noisy from foot steps upstairs.

Breakfast is great Very comfortable beds Free drinks in the bar (teas, coffees) as well as within the room itself (three free soft drinks). WiFi was good

Unfortunately you could hear the person in the next room coughing - the couple there seemed to have a cold so there was a lot of coughing. Then at 4.45 in the morning some residents were yelling in the corridor and stomping up the stairs. I had ear plugs in and could still hear them! So, soundproofing isn’t too great there sadly

We were looking for an Akureyri property that was convenient, but not in the heart of other touristy spots. Hotel North turns off the fjord levee bridge and climbs to a lovely location overlooking the Eyafjord. Bright yellow with lots of charm. Check. In was efficient and the breakfast was varied with waffle makers, coffee machine, cold cuts, cheeses, yogurts, fruits, etc. It was also on the same side of the fjord as the Forest Lagoon which was our main destination. A 5-minute drive.

This is a really enjoyable and relaxing hotel. We loved the view from our room. The bed was extremely comfortable and the cherry on the top was the jacuzzi in the evening after a long day hiking. The breakfast was just perfect (for variety, quality and quantity). Staff was very welcoming and friendly. The room has a coffee machine and chocolate, cappuccino, coffee pods.

There was particular smell coming from the bathroom sink pipes, perhaps it is an isolated case, anyway it wasn’t a big deal.

it was an exceptional stay from beginning to end. The bed was so comfortable we slept almost 24 hours straight. haha. The hotel made communication so easy and their kind and welcoming made me feel so comfortable. I walked in the room and said WOW. It was a true mixture of comfort, cleanliness, and had every amenity to make us comfortable. Breakfast is always fresh and delicious. I can’t say enough. I hope we are lucky enough to stay here again. Many thank you to the wonderful staff.

The room was very nice and clean. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good. Access to coffee, tea throughout the day was great.

The shower in our room didn't drain well and caused water to leak out onto the surrounding bathroom floor. Having more hangers would have been nice. And I miss washcloths. They don't seem to be part of a towel set very often in Iceland

I booked a budget room just for one short night and it was super. More comfortable than I expected for that price. I wondered why it was budget room until the morning - it was situated just below the breakfast area and one can hear every step early in the morning.

Robert was friendly and helpful. He recommended restaurant we had on our radar. The hotel is across from the downtown which was perfect as you have easy access but feel remote with incredible views. The views! Wow. We were lucky with a beautiful spring day and enjoyed relaxing in the hot tubs with fun drinks from the bar. Breakfast was included and nice. Our rooms were clean with everything we needed including robes.
