The cabin is absolutely beautiful two bedrooms downstairs one bedroom upstairs loft type beautiful kitchen. Everything you need to cook a meal great living room, beautiful deck. We were there in the winter so we didn’t use it. Wish we could have washer and dryer in a beautiful laundry room. Would go back to this property Again and again and again.

Cottage Stay
Beautiful area and great location. The cottage was spotless and so was the kitchen/dining area. Very relaxing.
In our trip around the ring road, Akureyri Cottages was the nicest property at which we stayed. We had a party of 5 and there was plenty of room to spread out. It was by far the best value for the $$$. The cottage had its own washer and dryer and they were free to use. We had use of a private hot tub. The property also has a nice patio with a grill. It would be a great place to use as a home base if you are spending more than one night in Akureyri. I highly recommend.
We enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed. This was our first hostel.

Charming, immaculate accommodations
The email communication prior to our arrival was helpful. We were given clear instructions on the check-in process and everything went smoothly upon arrival. Our cottage was immaculate. The one thing that we misunderstood when booking was that the toilet and sink are in the small cottage, but the shower is located in the main building. If that was explained anywhere in the hotels.com listing, or in the pre-arrival communications, I completely missed it. The property is managed as part of an adjacent hostel, and a shared shower is common in hostels, but I didn’t expect it in the cottages. A simple change in the listing to “shared shower” might be helpful for others. Would I stay again? Absolutely. We liked it!
Our cottage felt like a mansion - roomy, woodsy and warm. We were only there for a night, but wished we could've stayed for a week. Access to a hot tub, included, and washer/dryer was great for freshening up our clothes. Service was clear from the start and gave us a map without asking of the town explaining likely place we might want to visit. One note of caution: Stairway to bunks in loft has narrow steps, so be careful.
Private Cottage in town centre, Bring pillow cases
Cozy cute little wooden out house in the backyard of a hostel. There is a toilet and a sink inside the house but for bath and kitchen you have to walk outside to get to the hostel. And because it's a hostel they don't provide sheet covers, pillow cases and towels so come prepared. The place is conveniently located at the town centre and gives you a downtown parking pass if you drive.
We only stayed for one night but we really liked the small cabin we rented and wished we stayed more. The place is really clean, you get enough smace for 2 people, with toilet and sink. There is a table with 3 chairs as well. We really liked it.
We stayed in one of the two cottages and it was so nice and clean! The staff was very friendly and helpful. She even came to our cottage laterm in the evening to tell us about the favorable Northern Lights forecast. There is a discount grocery store across the street so we bought our food and the cottage was well equipped for us to make our own meals. They even had a high chair and crib available for my 1 year old. I would definitely go back again.
