We understand they’re going through some renovation, but compared to the main photos in the listing, we were expecting a different experience. Our room was slightly outdated compared to the main photos that were shown in the listing (photo 40/60 on the listing). The bed was extremely comfortable - the blackout curtains let in some light but overall did a good job. Overall it was a good hotel for the price point and the location was great right in the centre of town.

Very central location. Sylvia was very accommodating. We had a medical emergency during our travels. We were only supposed to be one night in Akureyri which turned into 5. Sylvia went out of her way to make me comfortable. She moved other guests around to make us comfortable. All the rooms I had were luxury looking and very modern and up to date. I totally 100% recommend!!

The couch arm fell off, we told them and they already knew about it. The sofa bed didn’t lay flat, it was curved up at both ends and very flat, you sink in the middle. It was in a good location in downtown, but it seems it could use some updating and deep cleaning.

I may be biased because I was upgraded to an amazing, large, beautiful suite. We booked several rooms, all were lovely. The decor, the comfort, the bed, cleanliness, bathroom, shower were exceptional. Helpfulness of staff. I had left a bottle of Reyka vodka in the refrigerator and went back hours later and they had saved it. It is in walking distance of the whale watching tours.

I highly recommend Centrum Hotel.

Checkin was easy. The hotel is on a pedestrian only street with lovely shops and restaurants.
Don't make the parking difficult. Park in the lot they suggest and walk a past a building. It's easy.

It was our first time to Akureyri and we chose Hotel Centrum based on recommendations, reviews and value. We were very pleased with the room, central location in town and the helpful staff. We stayed in 411 and it had a lovely balcony overlooking the shops and restaurants on Hafnarstræti. Easy, free parking after 4pm in the public lot just behind the hotel. Great modern bathroom with a walk-in shower, great Internet connectivity, fridge in the room, comfortable chairs and bed, and blackout curtains for those 11pm sunsets in summer. There was no TV but that really ended up being a bonus.

This hotels location is great! The rooms are above a bar but we didn’t hear any noise all night. The biggest problem was that the shower flows out of the shower so we kept soaking towels to keep the water in and then it seemed to be a big deal when we had asked for more. I’m not sure what was said but one worker argued with another in front of us back and forth before we finally got some. There is a mini fridge and coffee and tea and basic cooking stuff as well as a stove. The balcony is cute though it seems they could maintain some things a little better. The latch on the door was barely hanging on and some handles were missing on the storage but the beds were comfy and the room was clean.
Overall we would stay here again though we ended up leaving early due to running out of things to do near by. I do not recommend the bar for food, 2 veggie tacos were around $35 USD
Though I do realize Aukeryri is a bit more pricy than some of our other stops.

We booked the suite for a week and we were quite happy with our choice. The room was new and welcoming. The only caveat was that the listing on Expedia mentioned a tv and there was none. While not a huge deal, it is still annoying. They offered free breakfasts to make up for it, which was appreciated. However the breakfast brunch is one of the worst we've ever had... We decided to stop going, even if it was free... Nonetheless, we liked our stay and we do recommend the hotel. Just stay away from the breakfast.

The check in place was also a bar(weird) so they were busy and we had to wait, then they put us in the ‘new part’ of the hotel which had tight room and poor air flow. We couldn’t find cups or air dryer which later they said were in some drawer. WiFi didn’t work. We called twice but not much help. Overall there wasn’t much care in the whole setting or service for the guests. Location is good for walking around but not quiet as our room facing the Main Street. it was a very unpleasant experience.

Check-in: The process was smooth and easy. Although the elevator wasn’t available at the time, the staff kindly assisted us with our luggage, which we appreciated.
Room: The room did not have a kettle, coffee, or tea, which we’ve usually found in other hotels. There was also no heater, which might be inconvenient during winter. During our stay, the room felt warmer than expected — even with the window open and the small electric fan provided, it was still uncomfortable, as the fan wasn’t quite effective.

I'm not sure what happened here, but upon arrival, the hotel did not have a room for me. They had my information from Expedia, but no longer had a room available. I received messages from the hotel a few days earlier with check in instructions and everything, which led me to believe everything was in order. The clerk checking me in said it was an issue at Expedia and attempted to call them, but said that the message stated that they were \"closed\". I only had wifi service so couldn't place calls myself. I did the only thing I could and booked a last minute room at Hotel Kea (just around the block) for a significantly higher price. Thankfully they were able to check me in upon arrival!

Upon reporting my issues to Expedia when I arrived home, they attempted to reach out to the hotel for a refund and their response to me stated verbatim \"even though it was a non-refundable booking, I pushed for more flexibility and they decided to approve your refund.\" Excuse me? I prepaid for a room months ago, it was not available upon arrival at 5pm on the day of my booking, and Expedia had to \"push for flexibility\" to get a refund? Honestly I think they should have had to offer a refund plus the difference that I was forced to pay to rebook at the other hotel. I would not recommend this hotel based on this experience. Be careful when booking this hotel!

We arrived late (maybe around 11pm) and you check in at the restaurant downstairs on the first floor. We were told we were the last guests to arrive, but the hostess was very kind and luckily they had an elevator to our 4th floor room. The room was nice, modern, and the kitchenette even had an oven. After staying our previous 4 nights in small towns or remote rooms, it was fun to see a nightlife on a Saturday night in Akureyri, with lots of people still on the streets as we were checking in. You have to park in the large lot behind the place and walk to it, but it was fine. We attended church Sunday morning at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it was right next door and wonderful.
