We were in a one bedroom apartment. Rooms are huge and the whole building has an airy white modern feel. Basics in the kitchenette, we did not find salt and pepper, but otherwise you get plenty functional utensils pots and pans. Beds are very comfy and the bathroom is huge. Everything is spotless, smells nice and looks brand new. Not one flaw. Morning cappuccino was delicious. Location is beautiful and the collection cars in the back yard adds to the luxury feel. Although I do not know why the school closed in the 80s, spending a night in this place is truly a special experience, happy that the school was given a new purpose and it is so nicely maintained. Such a bang for the buck! This was probably the best place we stayed in Iceland and one of the best we ever stayed in through our travels in years!

This is by-far the best hotel we stayed in Iceland. We enjoyed the location and the facility that much, we ended up staying for breakfast. Breakfast was excellent with pancake on that day.This is like a 5-star hotel, with huge room, a separate bedroom with kingsize bed, a living room with smartTV, kitchenette with full amenities, and huge bathroom. The bed is very comfortable, the internet is strong where we can stream online movies. We love the artworks inside the building throughout. The view of the snowy mountain and water view were great! Love to stay here for more days.

Nothing.

We booked this because the apartment looked amazing and it didn't disappoint. We dreamed we would see the northern lights and watch whales in the nearby fjord from the hot tub. Dreams do come true... We were treated to an amazing display of aurora borialis from the panoramic rooftop terrace. And sat having a few beers in the hottub, listening to music watching whales 🐋 swim by will take some beating. One of the highlights of our week long ring road trip. If you're reading this book it! I can't add enough photos, so go see for yourself.

The old school now, a beautifully renovated hotel, is such a pleasure to stay in. It is unlike any other hotel in that it's an art gallery displaying the owners extensive collection of icelandic art. The rooms are comfortable, with plenty of space, stylishly decorated, and views over the lake. The beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is adequate. There is also a collection of old cars.displayed.we loved this location out of the hassle and bustle of Akureyri. Down in the small village below is Eyri, a very nice restaurant well recommended.

This is the best hotels we stayed in Iceland for our 10 days ring road trip. This hotel is very clean, the room is very spacious, and it was so quiet. The proper is like a little museum with a lot of nice paintings around the hallways and inside rooms. We stayed in a two-bedroom suite, which comes with a large living room and very large kitchen (even though we did not use the kitchen). It is really a home away from home. The staff is also very nice and friendly.

It would be even better if the breakfast is included.

When I booked the hotel, I went in with very high expectations of the hotel based on the pictures and other reviews. Yet, it exceeded all those expectations. The 1-bedroom apartment is a thing of beauty. Well, the entire hotel is a thing of beauty, to be honest. You have everything you need - super clean apartment, amazing views, all the essentials you are going to need for a short stay and more. The staff is friendly and welcoming too. But the highlight of this facility is the artistic touches they have everywhere - you'll feel like you have walked into a museum. It's a thing of art and you can feel the classiness waft all over the hotel. And it is amazing value for money. You'd be paying 2 or 3 times more if you want to find something similar in the City. We had an amazing stay and I'd highly recommend booking this hotel if you are looking for something close to Akureyri.

None

Hotel Hjalteyri was spotlessly clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The view was lovely, and it was just a short drive to Akureyi where it was easy to find restaurants and grocery stores. There was only one restaurant in the immediate ares, but we didn't eat there and can't comment.

Although it was a very nice small hotel, it was quite expensivre. If I visited the area again, I would try to find a less expensive place.

Driving in the grounds were really well kept - the property did not look like anything we expected. The interior is gorgeous. Quiet sitting, reading, spots. Luxurious feel to the spaces using lighting, fantastic artwork and beautiful books. The views out front were wonderful. Living Area was so comfortable and inviting. Kitchenette had everything needed. The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was a delightful getaway in itself.

Only the weather - lol. We enjoyed everything else immensely. We will definitely return and would highly recommend this property for couples.

What did I like about this stay? EVERYTHING!! Perfect Score 10. We stayed at numerous hotels during our two weeks in and around Iceland, and I would rate this stay as one of the best, if not the best. Incredible LARGE rooms, exceptional cleanliness, QUIET = great night sleep, great breakfast, and everyone associated with the property was friendly and personable. Hotel is also well decorated, great lighting, and windows for wonderful views. Thanks!!!

This was one of the 3 or 4 nicest places we have stayed in over 35 years of vacation travel. The apartment hotel was modern and stunningly furnished and decorated. The owner has used his own excellent art collection to add splashes of color and drama to the rooms and reception/hallway areas. The kitchen cabinets, other fixtures, and furnishings were high end modern and very high quality. The views through the enormous glass windows overlooked the stunning fjord. A luxurious feel in a majestic landscape.

Found nothing to dislike.
