Hafdals Hotel Best stay along Ring Road - don’t miss! This was the best hotel stay during our entire Iceland trip. It has an unbelievable scenic view of the fjord and snowcovered mountains behind. It was a perfect place to take a huge exhale after a long day of driving. You could really get lost in the view, which is why I was so glad we stayed for 2 nights. The hotel is family-owned and small, with maybe 9 rooms or so lined up in a row. The room aesthetic was modern and chic, which huge sliding doors and windows to take in the magical view. The breakfast room was cozy and the breakfast was simple but delicious. I was really surprised and impressed with how hands-on the owner (Hafdal) was to care of the hotel and support the guests. You saw him doing hard work on and for the property to keep it neat, equipped, and running to perfection. There were three of us and he charged 50 EUR per day to add an extra twin bed to the standard two-twin room, which he brought and assembled himself. It was unique to see someone take such pride in their work and so dedicated to hospitality. Long story short - stay here and you will 100% not regret it! Since there are so few rooms make sure you book early. And if you can’t, still stay on this side of the fjord since the views are way better than the city center side. The Hafdals view is still imprinted in my brain and looking forward to coming back again!

When you get to the Hafdals Hotel you will be impressed by the view and then you’ll realise that you get to enjoy this view every single second during your stay (well not every second, the bathroom has no view towards Akureyri but this is no fault of the hotel). Speaking of the room it is quite spacious and the shower has some nice water pressure. The complete hotel facility was clean and well managed! The breakfast buffet is adequate, there is a good amount of choice and the food and drink is of high quality. The bed is comfortable and the provided pillow lead to some restfull sleep.

The owner greeted us and knew my name upon check in. Makes sense, given the hotel is so small and there were only a few other couples staying. But that's the beauty, it is such a small, intimate Hotel outside of a wonderful city it is impossible not to be treated like a friend! We had a very packed day prior to arriving in Akureyri. So it was very pleasant to to walk in to a smiling face. Thor recommended a great restaurant in town, Strikid (pronounced Stree-keeth) for dinner and it did not disappoint! We will definitely be coming back to Akureyri and be coming back to Hafdals Hotel!

This is a beautiful property overlooks the mountains and fjords. Gorgeous views with large, very comfortable rooms. This hotel was one of our favorite hotels during our 24 day trip around Iceland. The owner was very kind and able to accommodate us and our friends when a freak snowstorm required us to stay an extra day in Akureyri. We felt fortunate to be able to stay another night there. Also, we liked that the property wasn’t in downtown Akureyri, but was only a ten-minute drive away.

Our stay was delightful! Stunning location on the side of a mountain overlooking the bay and the town. Our room had a full wall of window to take advantage of the view. Away from town yet easily accessible. Our room was cozy, comfortable and very clean. The owner could not have been nicer, with suggestions about the area and a lovely breakfast to start the day. He even makes his own croissants. We saw the Northern Lights while standing in the driveway. Highly recommend!
