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.

Guesthouse Pétursborg’s bright, fresh rooms have either a private bathroom or shared facilities. A communal lounge area is available.

I can't recommend this place highly enough. First, the location is fantastic, you will have an incredible view of the fjord from your window. These accommodations are little cute cottages: ours was furbished with everything we may have needed (shampoo and shower gel, espresso machine, hair dryer, wifi, a desk with two chairs, a small fridge and even a comfortable armchair). There were also nice little touches (chocolate!). There is a kitchen in the main house that guests can use for cooking. Furniture was nice. Mattresses very comfortable. This was the best accommodation we had during our trip and the host was nice and welcoming. Breakfast was not included, but we bought supplies (including delicious croissants) at Netto and could store milk and orange juice in the little fridge. Really excellent!

    In a newer part of Akureyri, with good views from terrace across the fjord, this modern warm and stylish apartment is great value and has plenty of room. Excellent cooking and washing facilities, easy parking and a great host. There's outdoor space too. It was down to -11c when I was there and the place was warm and cosy. Everything is super-clean too.

    This lovely guesthouse is a gem. The rooms are clean, warm and cosy. But the best part of the stay is the lovely host Elisabeth. She offered to prepare us dinner, because the stay is away from any other restaurants. She allowed us access to the washer and drier, so we could clean and dry our bathing suits and towels. All the little handmade details, the selected decorations and dishes give this place a special soul. The breakfast was delicious also, with everything you could want. Would really recommend this stay.
