Hotel is situated across the bay from Akureyri, 5km easy drive over the bridge.
From the room or walk out to the patio, there is a magnificent view at the fiord, Akureyri with the mountains behind, view at river valley...
Hotel is very nicely designed. Free parking.
Room was super clean, breakfast included for the good begining of the day.
Service excellent.

Wonderful stay with breathtaking views overlooking Akureyri and the surrounding mountains. The hotel is modern, spotless, and very peaceful, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring North Iceland. The rooms were comfortable and beautifully designed, and Tor who greeted us wonderfully was friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious with fresh local options. Best strawberries and croissants we ever had. Forest Lagoon is around the corner so it’s a big plus. Also many dining options in the town which is only 5 mins away. Only problem you may have is that icy roads- especially the hill. Parking is plenty and free. A hidden gem with an amazing atmosphere — highly recommended.

On the hillside across the fjord from the airport and town, it was in the middle of having an extension when we were there (boy, Icelandic builders are hardy) so was a little out of sorts. That said, it is kept in immaculate order, and I’m sure the extension will be great. Currently it’s just 8 rooms, and won’t be so much bigger next year, but will have an internal lift so you don’t have to go outside to get to the lower rooms.
There isn’t a restaurant, but the breakfast buffet is a good start to the day.
If you have a car (and you really need one if you are traveling independently around here) it’s a short drive to downtown with a couple of gnarly turns after dark.

It is about 10 minutes from downtown. The hotel is family owned and operated, he was very attentive and took care of us while there. No dinner there, breakfast is very simple. Small bathroom but adequate. We chose the hotel so we can be away from the city but near to benefit from all the restaurants and stores. We lucked out the night we were there, we saw aurora at around 1:00 AM. It was a bonus treat.

By far the best hotel we stayed at in Iceland. The hotel is situated upon a hill overlooking Akureyri and the magnificent waterfront. The room offers a breathtaking view of the waterfront and I felt like I could spend hours just staring at the view.

The hotel has a handful of rooms and that adds to the very quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The rooms are quite clean and spacious and very elegantly furnished. The floor to ceiling windows and the private patio allow you to soak in the amazing view.

We found the breakfast to be simple but yet wholly adequate. My wife and I are vegetarians but we felt very satisfied with the options on offer. The only very minor feedback we would have is to keep the slices of cheese separate from the slices of meat at breakfast. Since people tend to use the same serving fork for both the meat and cheese, the vegetarians may feel uncomfortable taking the cheese.

There is also ample free parking available at the property.

The view across the fjord to Akureyri is stunning but beware driving at night or in bad weather as the road to the hotel is narrow, winding and unlit and as the hotel only serves breakfast you need to get into Akureyri for an evening meal.

We loved this property so much. I think this had the best views of the mountains, ocean, city, and farmland. It really is the best location and the rooms have giant picture windows. The shower was large. The breakfast was great. Even though the Northern Lights were not happening the night we were there, the view of downtown Akureyri lights at night reflecting in the ocean was delightful. We also saw airplanes taking off! We would definitely stay here again. I would personally love to buy land near this hotel and build a house and enjoy the view!

Best hotel in ALL of Akureyri

I highly recommend this hotel. The view from every room is amazing. It’s located up on a hill overlooking the water and ‘city’ lights. The entire outside wall is all windows, enjoyed the view for hours. Room was super clean and plenty of space. But as great as the room was, the owner is the highlight. He was extremely helpful with getting us checked in, he was knowledgeable on interesting places nearby, and the breakfast he prepared each morning was fantastic. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Great location, great room with a view, and great hospitality. So glad we stayed here.

Our host was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about things to see and do throughout Northern Iceland. We loved the view from the hotel and as we had a car it was quick access to parking and then walking throughout Akureyri itself. We wished we had more time to explore the recommendations in the surrounding area but had a wonderful day trip to see the birds and geology of the Lake Myvatn region and time at the Myvatn Nature Baths - much better surrounding scenery and relaxing conditions than Blue Lagoon.
Finally, the Breakfast was a very wonderful spread that met the tastes of adults and two teens alike. If we end up in Northern Iceland again in the future we will be staying here.

The hotel is new, run and owned by a very nice gentleman who gave us invaluable travel tips and also restaurant recommendations, along with restaurant coupons.

The view from our room (and every other room, I believe) was awesome, overlooking the city across from the fjord. It was a gloomy, overcast day, but the view was still beautiful.

Hotel is perfectly situated, about 10 minutes from the city, so you get the convenience of being in a city, and at the same time we also get the quiet and solitude and natural beauty of being away from the city.

We stayed two nights and needed all of it to take in what the area has to offer. Our host was gracious and very helpful. The accommodations are as advertised. Nice and quiet and close to everything. We highly recommend the Hafdals Hotel.

Note: There is a private tunnel, north of Hafdals, that requires you to register online in order to pay the toll. If you don't do so within 3 hours of using the tunnel, they will charge you extra - $20 was added to our car rental. Ask any local about the tunnel and they will help you out.

The picture do t so this hotel justice. It’s on a hill overlooking the city. Perfect for northern lights and just a short drive to the city. The windows are floor to ceiling with a great view

Service was awesome. Staff was so helpful.

I would definitely stay here again.

Day 3

this is probably one of my favourite places to stay. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was excellent. The view from the room was amazing across to Akureyri.I can highly recommend this hotel.

Located near Akureyri. Had all the convenience of being In town but without the business. The owner was extremely welcoming and took exceptional care of the guests. Rooms were large, clean, and had a stunning view
