In our trip around the ring road, Akureyri Cottages was the nicest property at which we stayed. We had a party of 5 and there was plenty of room to spread out. It was by far the best value for the $$$. The cottage had its own washer and dryer and they were free to use. We had use of a private hot tub. The property also has a nice patio with a grill. It would be a great place to use as a home base if you are spending more than one night in Akureyri. I highly recommend.

Charming, immaculate accommodations
The email communication prior to our arrival was helpful. We were given clear instructions on the check-in process and everything went smoothly upon arrival. Our cottage was immaculate. The one thing that we misunderstood when booking was that the toilet and sink are in the small cottage, but the shower is located in the main building. If that was explained anywhere in the hotels.com listing, or in the pre-arrival communications, I completely missed it. The property is managed as part of an adjacent hostel, and a shared shower is common in hostels, but I didn’t expect it in the cottages. A simple change in the listing to “shared shower” might be helpful for others. Would I stay again? Absolutely. We liked it!

We loved this place
Our cottage felt like a mansion - roomy, woodsy and warm. We were only there for a night, but wished we could've stayed for a week. Access to a hot tub, included, and washer/dryer was great for freshening up our clothes. Service was clear from the start and gave us a map without asking of the town explaining likely place we might want to visit. One note of caution: Stairway to bunks in loft has narrow steps, so be careful.

Private Cottage in town centre, Bring pillow cases
Cozy cute little wooden out house in the backyard of a hostel. There is a toilet and a sink inside the house but for bath and kitchen you have to walk outside to get to the hostel. And because it's a hostel they don't provide sheet covers, pillow cases and towels so come prepared. The place is conveniently located at the town centre and gives you a downtown parking pass if you drive.

Great cottage!
We stayed in one of the two cottages and it was so nice and clean! The staff was very friendly and helpful. She even came to our cottage laterm in the evening to tell us about the favorable Northern Lights forecast. There is a discount grocery store across the street so we bought our food and the cottage was well equipped for us to make our own meals. They even had a high chair and crib available for my 1 year old. I would definitely go back again.

Wir schliefen in einer Hütte im Garten, die direkt an einer viel befahrenen Hauptstraße und einem Pizza Lieferservice angrenzte, bei dem sehr viel los ist und ständiger Verkehr herrscht. Wir hatten zwar eine schöne Terrasse, aber keine Sitzgelegenheiten (Möbel). Und dadurch war sie leider nicht nutzbar. Das Personal war nicht per Mail erreichbar. Den Whirlpool konnten wir auch nicht nutzen, da wir keinen Schlüssel dazu hatten, bzw. uns keine Auskunft gegeben wurde wo wir einen Schlüssel erhalten.
