Theresa
Reasonable facilities … no staff on site but communication via message was efficient! Location walkable but again limited parking. Only 4 spots for 10 rooms even though the add says parking on site.
Dawn
Our room was ok. The bathroom was old and appeared dirty, the entire bathroom holds condensation and becomes wet due to no circulation. The shower was missing the drain cover, luckily we had flip flops and wore them during showering.
The linens were very dated, with sheets piling and not staying on, the desk chair was dirty.

Wifi was broken, staff was very rude when i told them. Stayed for two nights and wifi was not fixed. Dishes were dirty too.
Nina
The towels are hard and crusty. They have clearly been used and washed a million times. They hurt to use. They need to be changed!
John Paul
Good location, walkable distance to restaurants and city center. Limited parking could be a problem for late check ins. Door codes were convenient, easy check in and entry. Shared kitchen was fully equipped. Spacious room but there was a stain in the ceiling which could be potentially a leak upstairs, hopefully they will fix it. The shower was a bit small, the curtain wraps around you when it gets wet. Plastic shower curtain might be a better fit. Good stay in general, spacious room. Laundry facility would be a great idea since the area has only one commercial laundry.
Anastasia
It was quite nice. However we were in the basement rooms, which is a bit uncomfortable. The biggest problem is that there were no shadow curtains, so the sun came into the room in the morning.
Scott
Smaller hostel style accommodations. Limited parking on-site and ended up having to park down the street overnight.
vipin
Bedding wasn’t clean and fresh. Rooms lights not working.
Jiho
No towels provided. We were asked to use a 'communal towel'... and share with others...?
Beds were old and I had back ache the day after, the rooms were loud from noises outside the building.
Parking is street parking and check in/check out times are very inconvenient.
There is a hotel right across the street that was cheaper and cleaner... unfortunately it was not available for 2 nights so we had to sleep here for a night.

Washroom room 201 corner of bath broken it hurt, bed painful and no parking if you arrive late so street parking. Check in 5 pm check out 10 am. Someone was cooking in the basement the had rice and non veg smell. Not worth
Diviya
Okayish, the bed linen was synthetic. No paper towels etc in shared kitchen. Plates and cutlery was worn out at the end of their life. 2 tea towels for the whole kitchen which propbably was shared by 5 or more rooms.
Riad
No hot water.
Vladyslav
What is unique about this property is the absence of hot water. Space is pretty limited in a kitchen, so you have to wait some time before having dinner.
kailee
Acco guesthouse is a great walkable distance from a handful of dining options and shopping. The room we stayed in was very spacious and the beds were large and comfortable.
The bathroom however, was quite tight. The shower ledge takes up a lot of room even though the shower is very small. The ledge also had a decent size chunk out of it which was a big hazard when we had just woken up in the morning and weren’t used to our surroundings.

Dark, dingy and run down
I usually don't leave bad reviews but I feel this property misleads customers in the extreme. The place is dark, dingy and run down. The photos are clearly taken with a very wide angle lens and the white balance is whacked up to present a clean, bright interior. This was (by far) the most disappointing accommodation we stayed at during an otherwise fantastic 7 night trip around the loop road. Look elsewhere!!
Leah
I did not expect this to be a “hostel” type of place. We had to share bathrooms and it was very much unpleasant. Kind of like living in college all over again lol..
Raj
good location near the church. Liked the clean room, but parking is nighmare. Only 4 are available for 10 rooms. street parking is only options for the weekdays with parking fee. Weekend is fine. We had a shower issue but property manager responses were bit annoying.
ANGELA
DO NOT STAY HERE!
The property is unclean and poorly kept. When I got out of the car, the first thing I noticed was a foul odor emanating from the house bins, which had remained full since my arrival till I departed two days later. There were flies both inside and outside the house. The scent in the house is awful. A combination of unclean and strong culinary odors. The room was filthy, and I have pictures to prove it. The advantage is that the guest house is conveniently located.

Overall it was a good, cheap stay for a night. It's not very far from all the restaurants and bars, but it is also at the top of a fairly large hill. The facilities were nice enough. Though the tv in my room was flickering. I'd recommend if you just need a place to stay for a night or two.
Chanté
Water pressure in the shower was amazing and the heated towel rack was great for drying wet clothes.
Thomas
Would not stay again
The steps were very slippery and one of the metal edges was loose. My friend fell down the steps and skinned up her back. They don’t want you to wear your shoes inside, so that makes a dangerous condition. The inside of the room left something to be desired. We found a dirty sock under the bed, the blinds was just a single roller shade no curtains, and it didn’t come all the way down to the bottom due to the window hook. The other guests were not friendly, but I don’t blame the hotel for that.
Michael
We stayed in 5 hotels in our loop around Iceland. This was by far our worst stay. No parking(fewer spaces than there are rooms) Greeted by a huge pile of garbage at the front steps. Check in was a hassle. Lovely city though. This place is corporate owned and we will avoid them now always.
Cynthia
Room was small but adequate. Bathroom had multiple broken tiles in the shower, a tiny sink and minimal water pressure. Towels were very thin. Beds were comfortable.
Tito
This was the only place left even after reserving 6 mos in advance. Felt more like a hostel which is fine. But for a family of 4, we would have preferred someplace with more conveniences like parking, quiet from the common areas, larger restroom, and separate room from the bunk bed. Also since no one was on site, felt less welcoming than a traditional hotel. Otherwise it worked out fine. We appreciated the accommodations.
Andrea
Clean and comfy
The room was very clean and spare. It was easier to hear people on other rooms, but everyone was quiet after 9pm.
Eileen
Practical spacious amenities for cooking storing food (fridge).
Chase
Clean, comfortable stay. The only complaint was the lack of blackout curtains.
Patricia
This property was not clean. I would prefer to pay more for another place in the city to have a clean place to stay. The communication prior to arrival was terrible. I had to call Expedia because the contact information was incorrect. It took two calls before I was given the access code. The directions weren't correct, although once in the building it was straight forward. Will not stay here again.
James
Great place to stay
Genuinely great place to stay on a budget, no complaints
Wesley
Great stay!
Jeff
Good place
Marianna
The hostel was well organized and accessible. Room and bathroom were very clean, but bed sheets smelled bad, it was a bit disappointing. Easy parking in front of the property. The city is very nice and very close to the hostel.
Kate
Easy self check in. Clean and close to the city!
Marcy
Just a 10 minute walk to the buzzing downtown. The guesthouse was clean and tidy and though we weren’t in Akureyri long, we appreciated staying In a walkable location with coffee in the morning.
Scott Frederick
Great
Suxia
We were not aware it's a self checking, and not expecting checking code would be send by email on the checking day. We had no WiFi on the checking day, not able to read checking code.
It will be better to list self checking steps on the adv. so people can decide to book the gusthouse or not.

Pleasant stay, comfortable room. Shared kitchen was clean and orderly. Would stay again.
Tam
Great location!
I extremely love the self check-in where the owner provides the code for entrance. Kitchen was neat and clean and I especially love the private bathroom. It's a cute place to stay.
Stephanie
Very nice guesthouse
This is a lovely guesthouse and the location was very good. Walking distance to downtown and less than a block to a grocery store. Our room was nice and had a private bathroom. We cooked spaghetti in the kitchen and it had everything we needed.
Kevin
I liked the room. The water from faucet was cloudy.
Valentina
I recommend this guesthouse. The place is close to the downtown. Very clean and comfortable beds. There is no reception, but the staff left me an envelope with all indications for the room. I am happy with the service.
Anna
Grest family stay
We (2 adults + 4yo) stayed one night at Súlur in a spacious family room. We received info on self check-in via email and found the room super clean and tidy. Though the hallway was a little noisy we were overall very satisfied with our stay.
Verified traveler
Comfortable and efficient

Helen
I was worried about road noise but there was only one car that woke us at 3am. The room was clean and comfortable but was inncl
