FE Gisting is a 7 minute walk from the city centre. Restaurants, bars, and shopping centre can are situated here. The nearest airport is Akureyri Airport, 3 km from the property.

We had a large, bright and airy room on the first floor - stairs to negotiate, and a great view. The room had an ensuite with views too! Such a nice change from staring at walls or inner courtyards out of hotel windows. There was a good table, two chairs, and armchair as well as a comfortable bed and room to hang clothes. We parked nearby the guesthouse (free) and walked into town for dinner. Great location but the hill is quite steep coming back up. Worth it for the views.

Coffee facilities and a private bathroom are standard at Torg Guest House. Some accommodation features a well-equipped kitchen and balcony. High-quality beds and Italian designer sofas are also featured in each apartment.

Great location, right at the centre of the town. The apartment was cozy and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable and the wifi worked fine. There were provisions for making your own coffee. I would definitely return to this place.

    This lovely guesthouse is a gem. The rooms are clean, warm and cosy. But the best part of the stay is the lovely host Elisabeth. She offered to prepare us dinner, because the stay is away from any other restaurants. She allowed us access to the washer and drier, so we could clean and dry our bathing suits and towels. All the little handmade details, the selected decorations and dishes give this place a special soul. The breakfast was delicious also, with everything you could want. Would really recommend this stay.

    The room was spacious, as was the bathroom, but the shower cabin was very small. The location in the city centre was great, with many restaurants and cafes nearby. The guesthouse was rather quiet, and the common room was clean.

    The hostel is in the direct city centre of Akuyreri. We came by car and it was easy to find parking nearby. Lots of bathrooms, all with a shower. Very clean everywhere which was appreciated. Big communal kitchen with everything you need to cook a full meal.

    Don’t let the outside fool you. I was sceptical when I saw the outside of the building, and no sign telling this was the guesthouse. But inside: so clean, nice and every guest was considerate and quiet. Also close to city center. Perfect for families!
