Our Guesthouse — Hotel in Akureyrarbær

!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T CAME HERE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was treated horribly by the owner. If you don't want to read all there is a resume at the bottom.

We arrived in Akureyri at 5 pm more or less and we contacted the owner by phone. He doesn't even know how to speak in english so we didn't understand nothing by phone. We wanted a room in "Our Guesthouse" and he said to come to "Amma GuestHouse" without spelling it so we arrived in "Our Guesthouse" (he owns both of them). It was raining so it was a bit stressing with all the luggage. We arrived in this place and we called him, he said that he was in "Amma Guesthouse" so we went there (and it's not very near, we had to walk a bit). After seeing the Guesthouse, we wanted to pay with our card. He said that he wasn't able to receive money by a card and we had to give him the number of the card AND the Pin (seriously?). Of course we refused and told him we wanted to pay with cash. We didn't have cash so we had to search for an ATM (it was raining and a really bad weather) after telling him that we would call him when we'll have the cash. After half an hour (or less) we returned to the GuestHouse and we called him. He was furious because he was waiting for us for too long and asked in a very aggressive way our card number and pin. We refused and told him we had the money in cash and he replied shouting "I AM NOT PLAYING YOUR GAME, I'M GOING TO KICK YOU OUT FROM MY GUESTHOUSE". He arrived 5 minutes later in our room without knocking (i could be wearing underwear in that moment) and shouted "YOU MUST LEAVE IN A MINUTE" . He then insulted us. I was shocked. I didn't understood why he was so mad. I just left the room and while i was putting my shoes he TAKES A PICTURE OF ME. I was so angry that i just leaved his Guesthouse with my shoes in my hands. HE IS VERY RUDE and he will KICK OUT of your room at 6 pm. He leaved us without a place to stay in the night. Just DON'T GO THERE, make a favour to yourself.

Resume: He didn't have the card machine for pay with the card. We didn't have the money in cash so we went out searching for an Atm. (The weather was terrible). We arrived after half an hour and called him for giving him the money. He then arrived in the GuestHouse and KICKED US OUT of our room shouting something. He insulted us without any reason. Then he took a picture of us while we where leaving. He's an...

Great value for this price, everything is VERY clean and tidy, I mean extraordinarily clean, I haven't stayed in such a clean hostel ever before. For Iceland the price they charge is really low price and it's fair, because as a young traveller you don't have that much money and it's nice if you can go without spending a fortune and still have a comfortable bed (yes, you have actual BEDS in this hostel, not some old shaky bunk beds like in many other hostels).

The kitchen is also very good, I was missing a stove, but then again you have free tea/coffee which is awesome.

The staff/owner is very nice as well. (Very) late arrival was no problem at all, I sent an email and they responded within an hour, arranged everything for me and I had a warm and cozy bed waiting for me after a very long and tiring drive.

Bathroom / restroom is very clean as well, you also have a sink in the room, which is nice, so you don't have to go to the bathroom to shave/brush your teeth.

Really appreciated the hospitability. 10/10...

This was a great stay. We stayed in one of the studios. It was perfect! It was very spacious, had an array of amenities with built in kitchenette and was very clean. The location of Our Guesthouse was great too! We were able to park our car on site for free and then it was literally a 3-5 min walk into the downtown shopping and eating district. My only bother was that there was no elevator in the building so dragging luggage up and down the stairs (lucky we were only on the first floor) was a bit of a pain but overall didn't deter from the rest of the overall great experience at...
