The location is very good - close to the city center, but far enough to be very quiet and peaceful. The views are amazing. The hotel room was large - much larger than rooms in any comparably priced hotel in Iceland and in much of Europe. The facility and the rooms are updated, clean, and functional. It was nice having a large common breakfast room on the top floor, with a kitchen and small kitchen appliances. The check-in process was easy. There is plenty of on-site parking. I rated staff as \"OK\" only because there was no choice to enter N/A - we just did not have a chance to interact with any staff member since there is no reception desk on-site and the check-in- check-out processes are fully automated.

The only difficulty we had with our stay was checking in. There is no reception at this hotel. It is “self check in.”We received an email where the link to the door codes wouldn’t open. We tried sending an email to the hotel - no reply. We tried telephoning - no answer. Finally, we contacted a guest who was sitting outdoors and she said there was cleaning staff about. A staff member assisted us in getting to our room and provided us with our door code. It’s a lovely hotel. Once settled, we enjoyed our stay.

Nice hotel, location is about 3-4 minutes outside Akureyri but you get a great view of the city and the mountain that inspired the logo, from the parking lot at least. The rooms are clean with about average space and comfortable beds and good blackout curtains. Breakfast is NOT included with the room rate and must be purchased beforehand, but the dining room has a microwave, fridge, and sink open to guests. Self check-in, and we didn't see any staff on site on our one-night stay but you are given contact info. Great great amenity is the warming closet, included in the room rate and lets you dry your clothes overnight! Awesome for us since it rained the entire week we were in the country. Overall nice place and worth the price.

This was one of our favorite hotels from our trip this year! We loved the self-check-in process—the access code was sent in advance, and everything worked seamlessly. Parking was conveniently located right next to the patio, making it easy to bring our luggage directly to the room.

The room itself was modern, clean, and very well maintained. We also used the shared kitchen amenities, including the kettle and microwave, which were spotless and well cared for. The room was equipped with a coffee maker and a refrigerator, which was a nice bonus.

Overall, everything was comfortable, convenient, and thoughtfully set up. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

There are fridges in the rooms as well as coffeemaker and safe. I don’t understand the negative reviews. It was a nice basic facility that doesn’t pretend that it’s some luxury hotel.

The room exceeded our expectations. Prior to our arrival, we stayed at another hotel in Akureyri for two nights, then decided to stay one more night, but the other hotel had no available rooms and a worker there suggested Hotel Halond. As soon as we walked in, both my husband and I wished we found this place for all three nights because it is very spacious, clean, has a refrigerator, and a smart tv which the other hotel did not have. They also have a microwave in the common area which can be used. The only problem we had is since we booked through Expedia, I never received an email in my inbox OR available with my room and 4 digit code. I did have to turn on my phone data plan to call the hotel and someone immediately answered and gave me this information within 3 minutes. If they can figure out this one caveat, that would be amazing because I did read other reviews where this happened to them. So it must be a problem when booking through a 3rd party site. Other than this, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone as long as you are OK with a self service establishment that does not have many amenities or a restaurant.

Generally it was good. one of the cleaners was professional, but the new one which join the hotel at 20 May need more training, she open the room door when i was inside, i wait to hear \"sorry\" but she didn't say.
The maximum room temperature is 24, this was not suitable for me, because there is no room heater.
