Google maps does NOT know where this place is, doesn't even know the road. So you'll end up at the empty place across the street. Fear not: Skjaldarvik is just across the road, closer to the bay, with the horses. Just back up the road a bit, and you'll see the sign.
Clean, welcoming, beautiful location, quiet, basically everything you want. They have a northern lights sign up sheet at the front desk, where you check off your room #, and if the lights come out, they'll knock on your door.
There's a bar in the living room run on the honesty system, an outdoor hot tub, and local artist work decorating the halls.
Breakfast was a selection of cold items, but delicious and filling. 😊response / report this review -

By far one of coziest place i stay in Iceland, very recommended for someone who want to stay in Akureyri, nice hot tub with breathtaking view. I bring our own food, and the host heat it for us.

Great guesthouse. Pretty large building and kept up very nice. Shared bathrooms and they provide robes and linens. The food is excellent although I don't think they have dinner or lunch unless you order it in advance. They do have breakfast. They also have horse riding and dune buggy yours. I did the dune buggy offer which was a lot of fun. They are about 10 minutes outside of akureryri so you need a car or taxi. It's dark enough to see the northern lights if they are out we saw them one night. The food is very good and the staff is very very friendly.

Amazing view and amenities. My husband and I enjoyed playing chess in the living room and playing with their dog, Dagur!

One of the best places we stayed on our trip around Iceland.
Small but nice room. Everything is lovely prepared in the house.
Very very nice and good service. Good recommendations for going out for dinner.
We booked the wrong day but it was easy to change it at the reception.
For the price (73€) it was one of the cheapest houses we stayed and it was much better than the others.
The breakfast was really really good as well. Staying in their hot pot in the night with all the snow around and the moonlight behind the clouds was just amazing!response / report this review -

Very quaint, cozy, and beautifully located on the beach in Akureyri! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Enjoy the hot tub while looking out over the splendid lake and city.

Stayed here for one night as part of our road trip to Reykjavik. A step up from our previous hostels, this is a good sized property with great views, an honesty bar, hot tub, restaurant. We’ve come out of season so it’s just breakfast. We popped back into akureyri for our evening meal.
Free tea / coffee, dressing gowns in our room for the hot tub, English spoken by the receptionist.response / report this review -

Great location on the waterfront just outside the city. Staff was very welcoming and kind even though we arrived late. The room was warm and clean and there is a great bathtub outside which is open untill 23:00. Overall experience was great and breakfast was good.

Excellent food, cozy atmosphere. Plenty of activities such as horseback riding and buggy car driving make this really a place to visit.

With the view of large fjord, hammocks in the front, hot tub, cute signs and homemade touches around the common room and surrounding, it's impossible not to love this place. Rooms were a little cozy and had one sink inside the rooms and three bathrooms in one hallway. They provided comfy robes as well. The horse tour was fun too and their dog was happily leading the way. You do get a 10 percent discount on the horse riding tour if you stay at the guesthouse

By far my favorite stay in Iceland. Very unique, from the horses to the local handcrafted decor. The bedrooms were very clean and I was up a lot at night because I was pregnant. They were very accommodating. Would stay here again and again!

Everyting is very good. I believe this is the best one in İceland. Its decoration and the view are the best. Very clean rooms and bathrooms. Hottub is an extra ;)

The lava decorative, especially the handmade necklaces, are very classy and more favorable than decoratives in other souvenir shops or in Reykjavik.
