Ours was a self catering studio with private bathroom and shared kitchen and lounge area. The set up is great and a really good idea. It was nice to speak with other people staying there whilst we were preparing food & drinks etc and also to have our own private area. Beds were very comfy. Bathroom was luxurious with a great shower. Good location with lovely views of the sea and a nice terrace to sit out on.

FE Gisting is a 7 minute walk from the city centre. Restaurants, bars, and shopping centre can are situated here. The nearest airport is Akureyri Airport, 3 km from the property.

We had a large, bright and airy room on the first floor - stairs to negotiate, and a great view. The room had an ensuite with views too! Such a nice change from staring at walls or inner courtyards out of hotel windows. There was a good table, two chairs, and armchair as well as a comfortable bed and room to hang clothes. We parked nearby the guesthouse (free) and walked into town for dinner. Great location but the hill is quite steep coming back up. Worth it for the views.

Great location, right at the centre of the town. The apartment was cozy and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable and the wifi worked fine. There were provisions for making your own coffee. I would definitely return to this place.

    The room was spacious, as was the bathroom, but the shower cabin was very small. The location in the city centre was great, with many restaurants and cafes nearby. The guesthouse was rather quiet, and the common room was clean.

    Great location, quiet street within walking distance of downtown and the Hof. Very lovely, with a beautifully equipped kitchen with plenty of space for food preparation. Hostess was very gracious, and obviously cares about guest experience.

    Beautiful guesthouse on a farm close to the ring road, very clean, cozy rooms with a charming, personal decor. Elisabeth was an extraordinary, very welcoming hostess, and her dishes were wonderful. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious with many homemade ingredients (e.g. bread, jam, etc.). It was definitely the best and most convivial accommodation during our stay in Iceland.

    Don’t let the outside fool you. I was sceptical when I saw the outside of the building, and no sign telling this was the guesthouse. But inside: so clean, nice and every guest was considerate and quiet. Also close to city center. Perfect for families!

    We loved everything. Location is charming, quick drive to Akureyri. Superp service. The owner was next level helpful, just á great host. Fantastic food, both the breafast buffey and also the dinner buffey (one of the best we’ve ever had. Big rooms, comfortable beds, cheap beer and the best thing was the breath taking view. Sauna, hot tub and pool nice touch. We’ll only book this hotel on all of our up coming trips.
