Dining room not available for dinner after August 31. No host available, but room key left on front desk. Large room with 4 beds even though we were only 2, but many flies in the room. Their buzzing was annoying at night. Good breakfast buffet. Close to Akeyreri.

Room 24- very close to the lobby/ restaurant and the noise travels through the wooden roof.

Numerous stains on bed sheets and towels.

There were over 20 flies awaiting us but we are unsure where they came from as all windows were shut.

The room itself was large, but was clearly a converted conference room as it still had a projector screen and a whiteboard..... The shower room was wheelchair accesible but needs a deep clean.

One positive is that the bed seemed quite new and is firm and comfortable.

Overall an inn with need for refurbishment. Would not stay here again.

There was no staff at this Inn to assist you. You had to do self check-in
Our toilet did not work so we had to telephone to get a room change. There was no water in the hot tub. The shower curtain had mold on it. Though they advertised a restaurant, the restaurant was closed. Property is very 'tired'. This is a terrible lodging.

It is a quiet & quaint inn. The room we stay is bigger than hotels/ hostels. Beddings are in good condition ( firm mattress & good quality duvet ). Huge parking space. There is a barn beside the inn. Breakfast is good. The nearest restaurant is in town which is 10 min drive. Grocery store is about 20 min drive. A place to rest & sleep ( no entertainment like tv )

Place was ok. Wasn’t anyone around when we got there, except after a few minutes I noticed a paper with my name and a key on the table, so I guess that was ok. Room was small, but satisfactory. No TVs in the rooms. There is an outdoor hot pool but sadly was empty when we were there. Morning breakfast was fine.

I would not book this property again. I think a 4-star rating is totally incorrect. The view of the landscape around Akureyri and distance to the town akureyri are positives but there is not much else going for it. Rooms are small - like American college dorm rooms - and bathrooms are tiny and not all that clean. Property is old, the sheep are smelly, breakfast was significantly below average. Once I have issue with this property being passed off as 4-star. That is just false.

I wonder how this hotel is shown as 4 star by Expedia and Google. The room given to us ( No.13) is very small with a tiny Bathroom, it was difficult to move around freely and the hot water stinks. One can easily hit the wooden bar placed above the sink. Breakfast is very poor with limited options like bread, fruits and cereals. Would not recommend this place.

It's a quaint and very old building, configured to be a hotel. It is 10 kms outside of Akureyri, so don't get fooled by the address. The restaurant was very tasty food (lamb of course) but for the price, very small portions. The staff are friendly and accommodating however, no front desk staff...kinda self serve when you arrive. After a long drive, a place to rest your head but no modern upgrades or mod-cons.

The hotel was nice and cozy. Nice spacious rooms with a clean bathroom. Well maintained. The best thing about the hotel was the staff. Absolutely exceptional service and helped us out so much. There was a storm in North Iceland at the time and they made sure we had the right information and were safe throughout. Would happily stay there again

My partner and I booked a room here last week as a last minute booking and we were beyond thrilled with the room, the service, and the breakfast! The rooms were simple, but very clean and had everything we needed! The breakfast was also simple, but wonderful and traditional. Arthur was an EXCELLENT host! Very kind, very responsive, and he introduced us to the lambs/sheep around the property. He also helped us out with a few loads of laundry after camping for two weeks. I would 10/10 recommend a stay!

Certainly, here's a review for Arthur at the Hotel Lamb Inn:

---

We recently stayed at the Hotel Lamb Inn and were absolutely delighted by the exceptional service provided by Arthur. From the moment we checked in, Arthur treated us with the utmost respect and kindness. He was always ready to assist with anything we needed, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable.

Arthur's attention to detail and proactive approach to guest service made our visit memorable. He went above and beyond to accommodate our requests and always did so with a smile. His recommendations for local dining and attractions were spot on, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to our trip.

Thanks to Arthur, the Hotel Lamb Inn felt like a home away from home. His dedication to providing the best possible service is truly commendable. Anyone looking for a warm welcome and a pleasant stay should hope to be greeted by Arthur. He’s a standout in hospitality!

Johannes and Arthur were so welcoming, after a really bad journey through the mountains and deep in high snow they looked after us making sure we had plenty of food, helped us navigate the roads and made sure we were safe, we would highly recommend staying here. A good selection for breakfast and home cooked meals on an evening to save us going out in snow. Thank you so much for everything

Luckily, Luna was very accommodating and able to arrange for us to stay in the last room available. The room was clean and spacious with beds that were comfortable. The breakfast, which was included, was delicious. My family and I were very appreciative of the staff's

Quiet, beautiful location, 8 km from Akureyri. We had a room at the back of the building, with a beautiful view across the valley. We ate here in the evening, and were very impressed - lamb is not just in the name, but a speciality of the kitchen. Only criticism is that in some ways the room looked a bit tired and in need of updating, but it was certainly clean.
