Avis HOTEL AKUREYRI Akureyri

Prachtig gerenoveerd hotel.
Mooi uitzicht op het meer.
Bovenverdieping alleen per trap te bereiken.
Checkinn gaat via een code die wordt toegestuurd. Dan kan de deur geopend worden met een code. Ontbijt was erg goed geregeld. Met fruit en veel lekkere broodjes.
Receptie zou in het andere gebouw zitten maar die hebben we niet kunnen vinden.

فندق جميل وتحت التطوير نظيف وموقع رائع لكن الغرف ضيقه

Ég gisti eina nótt hér og þurfti að fara eldsnemma út til að ná flugi beint suður í Leifsstöð. Mér leist ekkert á hótelið þegar ég sá framkvæmdirnar við stækkun hótelsins. Svo kom reyndar í ljós að iðnaðarmennirnir hættu að vinna milli klukkan 17 og 18 og því engin truflun af þeim. Ég svaf vel og frábært að hafa Nespresso kaffivèl og teketil á herberginu. Val um Nespresso kaffi eða instant kaffi sem var líka í boði með og án koffíns. Einnig er ísskápur svo ég gat geymt nesti þar því ég fór svo snemma út og gat ekki nýtt mér morgunmat. Hótelið er virkilega fallegt og skemmtilega skreytt. Herbergin hljóðlát og ég var í herbergi sem snéri að Pollinum. Mæli með þessu hóteli og kem aftur hingað. Hlakka til að sjá það þegar framkvæmdunum líkur.

"Save yourself the headache and avoid this hotel like the plague! From the moment you wake up at the crack of dawn to the late hours of the evening, you're bombarded with the deafening sounds of construction. It's like trying to sleep in the middle of a war zone.

But it's not just the noise that's unbearable—it's the thick layer of dust that permeates every inch of the room. It's so overwhelming that you can practically taste it in the air. And yet, there's not a single mention of the ongoing construction on their website or during the booking process. It's a blatant disregard for transparency and common courtesy.

To make matters worse, when I brought up the issue with the staff, they couldn't care less. There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the inconvenience, just a dismissive shrug as if it were no big deal.

It's clear that this hotel has no respect for its guests' comfort or well-being. They'd rather pocket the money from bookings than provide a peaceful and enjoyable experience. Do yourself a favor and find accommodations elsewhere. Trust me, you'll thank me when you're not trying to sleep through the sound of jackhammers.

"Let me tell you about my horrifying experience at this so-called hotel. As I was checking in, I couldn't help but overhear the manager yelling at the housekeepers in the most demeaning and disrespectful way possible. He was berating them, calling them names, and asking if they were stupid. It was absolutely sickening to witness.

It's clear that this place has no regard for treating their staff like human beings. The way they were being treated was nothing short of evil. No one deserves to be spoken to in such a degrading manner, especially not hardworking individuals just trying to do their jobs.

I refuse to support a business that condones such despicable behavior. Treating people with respect and dignity should be a basic expectation, yet this hotel fails miserably in that regard.

For ethical reasons alone, I urge you to steer clear of this establishment. There are plenty of other hotels in the area that actually value their staff and treat them like human beings. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere. Trust me, you'll sleep much better knowing you're not supporting such a toxic environment

Let's start with the overpowering stench emanating from the bathroom. It hits you like a ton of bricks the moment you step foot in the room. It's as if they've never heard of cleaning or ventilation.

And speaking of cleanliness, don't even get me started. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been scrubbed in years, with grime and God knows what else coating every surface. It was absolutely revolting.

But wait, there's more! The rooms themselves are a joke. They're so cramped and claustrophobic that you'll feel like you're sleeping in a coffin. Forget about opening your suitcase or moving around without bumping into furniture.

And don't expect any help from the staff either. They're as useless as they come, disappearing whenever you need assistance and ignoring your complaints as if they don't exist.

Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this dump. The only thing it's good for is ruining your vacation and making you regret ever setting foot inside. Trust me, you're better off sleeping in your car than subjecting yourself to this nightmare

"Stay away from this nightmare of a hotel! The rooms are so ridiculously small that you'll feel like you're trying to squeeze into a sardine can. There's barely enough space to open your suitcase, let alone move around comfortably. To make matters worse, the rooms are infested with mold, creating a health hazard for anyone unlucky enough to stay there.

But the nightmare doesn't end there. The owners of this establishment clearly have no interest in communicating with their clients. Trying to get any sort of response or assistance from them is like pulling teeth. They're nowhere to be found when you need them, leaving guests feeling abandoned and frustrated.

To add insult to injury, the check-in process is a complete disaster. Instead of a proper reception desk, they have some absurd self-check-in system that hardly ever works. Guests are left standing around, waiting for codes that never seem to arrive. It's an absolute joke.

Save yourself the misery and avoid this hotel at all costs. There are plenty of other options in the area that actually value their guests and provide a decent level of service. Trust me, you'll thank yourself later."

We loved this hotel, very cosy rooms with all the amenities & comfort you could ask for. Their North restaurant as really good & the overall style/vibe of the Micro Hotel was top. It is only a short drive to the Godafoss Falls which we’re absolutely breathtaking. Thank you all & wishing you a prosperous 2023.

A very pleasant and peaceful location. Very good services.

Once booked, everything was super smooth. Rooms where clean and had a nice ambience

Sehr eng, riecht muffig.
Preis/Leistung, Lage und Reinigung waren ok

Room was very small, almost nowhere to place luggage. Bathroom was small too. The place was under construction so entering and exiting was awkward. No elevators. No restaurant, no breakfast, no staff. You’re sent a room door code to your phone when you check in and you have to press a check out button in the room when you leave. All things considered, more expensive than expected since there were no staff members onsite.

Great location , rooms were small and a bit noisy I think due to the music from the high end restaurant adjacent or neighbors
Management was great

Located in a good location, with clean rooms. I couldn’t ask for much more. The rooms are small, but your only meant to sleep in them. Get out and see the city.

Dieses Hotel macht auf witzig und cool ist aber eine riesen große Mogelpackung. Zimmer haben die Größe einer Abstellkammer. Sogar für New Yorker Verhältnisse wäre es zu klein. Die Einrichtung ist Kategorie gewollt aber nicht gekonnt. Teilweise alt und sehr abgenutzt. Kabel hängen von der Decke, der Fernseher ist kaputt. Das Badezimmer hat unschöne Flecken. Insgesamt fühlt man sich hier sehr unwohl. Das einzig Gute ist die Lage und das Bett. Sehr schade.

We had room #: D233 and visited in November of 2022
4 stars because it could have been cleaner. The floors were not cleaned when we arrived, and our concern was the bathroom floor in general.

Tips: the room gets EXTREMELY hot!! Their piping is right underneath the floor, so the floor feels heated! I loved this feature, but the rooms get so hot it ran us out of there in the morning!

Another tip: they have different culture, and that said there is a picture of naked women showing their breasts downstairs in one of the lobbies (where you walk upstairs to your room). It's very small and not sexualized at all. You won't notice this unless you look at the design and decor downstairs. Just mentioning in case you bring a little one along.

Other than that, no complaints at all! We loved the trendy design and decor! Felt like we were going back in time or something! Very cozy and the right size room. Our room was not small, by any means. The water pressure was amazing? So, I'm not understanding the complaints on that. The check in was extremely easy! All on our phone and no contact with anyone needed! Check out was the same!
We will most likely be back next time we visit Iceland! Added such joy to our trip!

Positiv:
- Freundliches & Hilfsbereites Personal
- Schnelles WLAN
- Kostenlose Parkmöglichkeit
- Kostenlose gefüllte Minibar

Neutral:
- TV ging Anfangs nicht, Fehler wurde aber behoben
- Zimmer sind sehr klein, dies war mir aber bei der Buchung schon bewusst

Negativ:
- Türen knallen ab 6 Uhr im Hotel (Reinigungskräfte?)
- Baustelle vor dem Hotel, hierbei kommt es zu Baulärm wobei die Zimmer relativ gut isoliert waren.

Fazit:
Wenn die Bauarbeiten abgeschlossen sind, ein gutes Hotel :)

Paid extra to book a waterfront room and got a room facing construction. The room key code they texted me was to someone elses room with all of their belongings in it. While laying in bed at midnight someone keyed into our room and said they left their charger here - the previous people staying here. They don’t change the key codes which doesn’t feel unsafe in this area but it does create an annoying environment when strangers are walking into your room. House keeping came at 9:30 and unlocked our room again with the code when we were still sleeping. It’s a cute place but I would advise to them to change their room codes after check out, because it wasn’t a great experience for paying so much money. One of our most expensive and definitely least favorite places we stayed on the trip unfortunately

Great experience . Nice rooms and great location .

Very dark aestethic, everything is provided in the quite small rooms( blow dryer, tea, coffe etc.), beakfast was good, delicious smoothies, but a very disgusting cheese bread roll.

Not impressed.
The shower and drinking water had a very intense sulphur smell. Shampoo and shower gel pump bottles didn’t work. Bed was not comfortable. It is a cheap attempt to create a hotel room, they should focus less on being trendy and more on delivering a quality experience.

Leider kann ich dieses Hotel nicht empfehlen.
Der Check In ist unpersönlich es gibt keine Karte und keinen Schlüssel man bekommt einen Zahlencode für die Zimmertür per SMS. Alles ist automatisiert, keine Rezeption. Mag dem einen oder anderen gefallen, mir nicht. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein und es gibt keinen Aufzug.

Das Wasser im Bad riecht nach Schwefel und man macht einen Kampf mit der Dusche da der Drehknopf fast nicht mehr funktioniert. Zusätzlich musste ich mit dem Duschgelspender wieder kämpfen, um etwas rauszubekommen. Voller Seife war ich froh nach mehreren Minuten den Drehknopf endlich zum drehen zu bekommen. Ich dachte, dass ich eine Zange holen müsste. Der Frühstücksraum ist viel zu klein und das Personal war unfreundlich.

Anscheinend ist das Frühstück normalerweise extra zu bezahlen. Doch haben wir das Zimmer mit Frühstück gebucht, was man erstmal uns nicht geglaubt hat. Deswegen mussten wir unserem Voucher holen, um es zu beweisen. Später wurden wir endlich und unfreundlich darauf hingewiesen welche Optionen wir bekommen könnten. Wir waren aber nicht die einzigen mit diesem Problem, sowie wir mitbekommen haben. Das steht als Wiederspruch gegenüber den automatischen Check-in, wenn wir feststellen, dass das Hotelsystem für das Basic überhaupt nicht funktioniert.

Mit der Hygiene nimmt man es auch nicht so genau. Wenn jemand das dreckige Geschirr abräumt und dann ohne die Hände zu waschen oder Handschuhe anzuziehen anschließend das Obst klein schneidet und es mit den Händen und langen Fingernägel auf dem Müsli verteilt. Wir saßen am Tresen wo das Frühstück zubereitet wurde und konnten alles beobachten beide Mitarbeiterinnen hatten nie Handschuhe an.

Gott sei Dank waren wir hier nur 1 Nacht.
