We spent two nights in Countryhotel Sveinbjarnargerdi in early November of this year. The location is perfect--right on the Ring Road with plenty of free parking, a large deck out front, a beautiful fireplace in the lobby, and a bar for an evening drink while relaxing. The hotel is only a 10 minute drive from Akureyri and you can easily... More

We stayed two nights in this hotel in october, as part of a 16-day tour round the island. Although there were very few other guests (the first night we we the only guests), the owner went out of his way to make sure we had a pleasant stay. He cooked us a lovely 3-course dinner each night, which was the... More

A well-maintained hotel with a view along the hillsides overlooking the water. It is only a short drive to Akureyri. Friendly staff greeted us and offered a lot of suggestions on where to visit. While the bathroom was a bit small, it was very clean, and the room featured hardwood floors. There was plenty of common area space at the... More

About 15 kilometers east of Akureyri you'll find the countryhotel Sveinbjarnargerdi. A nice, comfortable country hotel with a great view on the bay connecting Akureyri to the Greenland Sea. I must confess that when we visited the hotel there was a clear-blue sky but nonetheless.... And if you want to visit Akureyri you can drive down the A1 easily into... More

On a 10 day roundtrip we stayed one night in this countryhotel as most places in Akureyri were fully booked. The location is not ideal as it is about a 20 minutes drive to the city. Since we had our own car this was not a big problem for us. The entrance hall of the hotel is very nicely decorated... More

We stayed for 1 night in this clean and very nice hotel. 15 minutes from Akureyri by car. Very helpfull staff. More

On arrival we were very nicely welcomed by dutch staff member Franz (well, we hope it's the right spelling) and he showed us our room eventhough we arrived early that day. The room was spacious with a large comfortable bed and a desk with a TV. The bathroom was quiet small, but who wants to sleep in the bath anyways?!... More

This hotel is quite a hidden gem - about 15k outside of Akureyri, in a quiet and pictuesque setting. The bedrooms are cosy and comfortable and breakfast was well prepared. The highlight of our stay here was when the manager woke us up to see the Northern Lights! What a magical surprise that was! More
