A lovely welcome from the team started our stay well. The room was really clean, cared for and well designed. The breakfast room had plenty of space and choice and the bar was so lovely, with a great choice of drinks and really beautifully decorated. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Beautiful hotel but not good rooms
Pros:
The propriety is beautiful.
Common areas are very well decorated.
Bath towels new and soft.
Breakfast is excellent.

Cons:
Room very stuffy and warm (no AC).
Noisy construction in front of the building and so is the road.
Staff between arrogant and almost rude.
Room/bathroom design weird.
Loose electrical wires hanging out of the walls.
Holder for shampoo and conditioner but nothing there.

It was a very nice hotel and hotel room. The breakfast was extremely good! The only downfall was there was a lot of construction going on within the hotel and on the street of the hotel.

Loved this hotel!!!

The Hotel Akureyri Dynheimar is a firm favourite; its charm and character have been preserved and enhanced by clever interior design choices.

The rooms are generous and very well-fitted. Our room had a large desk, a comfy armchair, a beautiful bathroom, and a king-size bed.

The heated timber floors were a nice touch. This hotel is designed for comfort, and I felt right at home as soon as I arrived.

The hotel's location is neatly sandwiched between the old and new parts of the town. The hotel itself overlooks the water and is within easy walking distance of everything you could need.

A lovely stop over, we only did one night here but I could have stayed forever!!

Fantastic hotel with a great atmosphere.
The lounge area was very relaxing and the bar staff were great.

We had a great room, and the decor looked like a movie theater. Plus we had a guitar in our room which was fun. Very convenient location and comfy beds.
17.10.2024 Rachel
Property had a very cool/unique design aesthetic. Loved that each room had a movie quote on the board outside, was just fun. The room we booked was tiny, which we knew at booking. Definitely wouldn't recommend one of those small rooms if you are travelling with very large or multiple pieces of luggage. We has one medium sized suitcase which was a squeeze but fine. Breakfast was great but space is very limited even with people spilling out into the lobby to eat

the bed is perfect, it feels like being on a cloud
