Hotel Akureyri
Very clean and modern room (second floor in the outer building), comfy beds and great TV. Very small for two people travelling but ideal for one night. Shame there was no kettle to make tea, only a coffee machine. Bathroom was brilliant and shower was very powerful with lovely shampoo and body wash ...

K16 apartments
Really appreciated first class laundry facility. Kitchen well equipped, lovely spacious modern apartment. Only problem was the dreadful bed - no proper mattress, just a kind of soft non-supporting topper. Both of us awoke with back pain.
