    Nice hotel and restaurant
    We enjoyed our stay here. They upgraded us to separate rooms for our teens and my husband and me, and we both had attractive, stylish rooms. The bathrooms were down the hall but easy to get in. The front desk staff was helpful and the overall ambience was quiet but very hip.…

    Excellent place near Akureyri
    My sister and I loved our stay here! Such a relaxing, homey place. I can’t say enough good things about the staff here. They were so caring and considerate. They alerted us to weather issues, made sure we were safe and comfortable the whole time. Our room was large and the beds…

    Little Slice of Northern Perfection
    This quaint little guesthouse right outside of Akureyri provided a comfortable sleeping place while traveling the Ring Road. Because it is just outside Akureyri, it provides the perfect setting and opportunity to see the Northern Lights. They even offer to wake you up when the…

    Would definitely recommend
    I loved every detail of this guesthouse. Only 10 minutes from Akureyri, it’s a lovely country setting. It was so cozy, clean, had beautiful sitting areas, good happy hour prices... the hot tub was so relaxing, overlooking the water. Unfortunately no northern lights were out when…

    My daughter and I have reservations with you for Thursday, August 20th and Friday, August 21st. We are arriving by Icelandia on Thur August 20th @9:15 AM and getting a 4x4 vehicle. We plan on going to Lake Myvatn and Dettisfoss Waterfalls on Thursday. Is it faster to go straight to the Lake or come by you to drop off our luggage? What time is dinner served on Thursday. Also we would love to do a horse ride on Firday towards the late afternoon or evening. Our flight back is at 21:10. Please let us now what is possible in terms of these requests. We are very excited about staying with you. Thank You. Lucy Slurzberg and Eliana Slurzberg
    Thanks for asking, but I am not the innkeeper. My wife and I were simply guests at Skjaldarvik. We are familiar enough with Akureyri to say that if you are coming from Reykjavik, you will pass by Skjaldarvik before you reach Myvatn and Dettifoss. If you are arriving at the airport in Akureyri, it would be a little bit easier to go to Myvatn and Dettifoss first. You are going to love it! You can contact the innkeeper at skjaldarvik@skjaldarvik.is. Telephone is +354 552 5200.

    "Just be aware if there are large groups travelling so that they can put you in a quieter area."
    "Rooms on the ground floor near to the hot tub and living room - slightly noisier but very convenient"
    "See if you can get fjord views."
    "You can choose a mounten wiew or a ocean wiew."
    "The whole place gets quiet at 11:00 PM so noise was not a factor."
