Description

Torg Guest House in Akureyri offers a range of room types from dorm beds to two-bedroom comfort apartments with balconies, catering to different traveler needs. Rated 8.2 out of 10, this 3-star property provides clean and functional accommodations, some with city or courtyard views. Guests have access to a lift, and pets are officially allowed, though hotel policies state pets are not permitted. Rooms range from economy to comfort apartments featuring kitchenettes and city views. The guesthouse is known for its central location and generally good service, with several reviews praising the helpfulness of staff and cleanliness. However, some guests have noted small room sizes, occasional noise from nearby nightlife, and limited maintenance in certain areas. The property opened in a building with no elevator, which may be a consideration for some visitors.

Location

Situated at Brekkugata 1b in the heart of Akureyri, Torg Guest House is approximately 3 km from Akureyri Airport (AEY). The central location places guests within easy reach of local shops, restaurants, and a bakery right outside the guesthouse. Parking is available 1-2 blocks away. The guesthouse offers direct city views from some rooms, which guests appreciate for people watching and immersion in town life. Its location above a nightclub, however, can cause noise late into the night, especially on weekends.

Tips

  • If you plan to stay on weekends, be prepared for noise from the nightclub below, which can go until 4 a.m.
  • Request a room with a city view if you enjoy people watching.
  • Since some guests reported heater issues, bring warm clothing for cooler nights.
  • Confirm check-in details ahead of arrival as some guests noted missing door code instructions.

Policies and conditions

My boyfriend and I booked this place last minute. Price and location were both good. We were a little concerned when we saw multiple negative reviews. However, our stay was wonderful! The room was clean, some noise from other rooms were noted but nothing after around 2100. We had a direct view into the city center which was great for people watching. Would recommend this place for anyone looking in the area.

Very central hotel, decent room and bathroom. No information from the hotel before the stay regarding the door code.

The room was beautiful and cozy. We ended up in a bad situation and the owners let me stay in a room after we had already checked out until the situation was over. They did their best to help even though they didn't have to. They were really kind and helpful. The location was also a big plus and they watch out for your security.

Convenient location in the town center, with good breakfast options and a bakery right outside.

Central location, very clean, warm and functional. Although it was small ( but we knew it from the booking), it was lacked nothing!

Good place to stay over night.
Rooms too small.

Good communication with people in charge of the place. Good location. Nice bed and comfortable room. Nexpresso machine at the room with 4 capsules. Heater also in the room so temperature was quite nice. Clean and silence. The only improvement? Price!, but this Iceland !

A small room with tiny bathroom but really clean and perfectly adequate for a one night stay. The guesthouse was very clean.

This guesthouse is conveniently located in the city of Akureyri. Self check-in/check-out was easy enough. There is nearby parking, restaurants, giftshop and convenience store.

However, the bathroom was cramped and the showerhead was dirty. I wasn't able to get the heater going inside the room either so it was pretty cold during the night and the next morning. They should do a better job maintaining the grounds. The area near the back entrance had litter all over the floor, also when I looked on the patio on the second floor there was an ashtray with over a hundred cigarette butts inside. I probably wouldn't come back here.

Great location, at city center. The problem was that the room is tiny, there was a weird smell at the bathroom, the sink was leaking and the shower door fell when we moved it to get into the shower. The Wifi did not work, we complained to the manager with no solution. Not recommended
