Gula Villan Guesthouse — Hotel in Akureyrarbær

This B&B is more of a "do-it-yourself" living close to a hostel approach. Some rooms have their own shower and WC, others share. We had a room with shower and WC. A nice room if somewhat tight to move around in. WAter kettle in the room with tea. Upstairs are the common room with TV and a nice kitchen. Breakfast can be ordered against a fee, but there is a big fridge where you can store your own breakfast if you like. Otherwise, it is more hostel rules that apply when it comes to the kitchen - clean up after yourself, wash dishes and such. Parking on the street is free after 1600 (if i remember correctly) until 0800. If you find yourself on the bottom floor, there is a big parking lot right outside that, in that case, provides better parking. Very thin floors and walls if you stay in the room with shower and WC ensuite. The common room is straight above you so people speaking and clomping around up there will be clearly heard. VEry central in town, just a few 100 meters from the main streets with all the...

This is a centrally located “guesthouse” with the amenities and service of a lesser hostel. I made a booking in April and my booking was confirmed, at a good price. When we arrived in late June, there was no booking, according to the off site receptionist, who then proceeded to book us a room at a so-called discount, which was much more than the original quote. We were cast into a dungeon, with no windows, a very hot, cramped space for five people. My children liked the fact that the room was dark, since it helped them sleep in the constant daylight of Northern Iceland summers, but it was so dark and cramped, we couldn’t find all our travel paraphernalia when we left early in the morning.
