Stayed three nights on a deal which included three breakfasts and two dinners for a couple. The deal was booked by my Icelandic friend and I have a feeling it was only mentioned on the Icelandic version of their website and not the English translation, so maybe do a google translate on anything on the home page that looks like...

After reading a luke warm Lonely Planet review of Hotel Kea in Akkureyri we checked it out tentatively and ended up staying for a week and loving it. The hotel has large cosy warm rooms with dark wood interiors that fit well with the art deco feel of the whole hotel. Warm burgundy carpets, cosy bar with dark wood paneling... More

This was the nicest hotel we stayed at on our trip around the Ring Road. The hotel is very modern and luxurious by Icelandic standards (from what we experienced). The location in Akureyri is convenient, next to the church and right off the Ring Road. Our room was very clean and a good size. The beds were incredibly comfortable and... More

We stayed three days at the Hotel Kea while on a business/couple trip. It was nice to stay in a full-service hotel with a bar and restaurant (although we didn't eat at the restaurant, it was nice to have the option), particularly at the time of year when some things are scaled back/closed for the off season. Staff were very... More

The rooms are very modern and sleekly furnished and clean and comfy. The staff are great and its quiet and comfortable, HIGHLY... More

I used to work in this hotel. The best hotel in the North of Iceland. Right downtown, about 5 min drive from the airport. Restaurants, bars, clubs, museums within a short walking distance. Request sea view room, amazing sights of the opposite mountain and Eyjafjordur (the fjord/sea). Beds are big and very comfy, rooms are rather on the smaller size... More

The rooms were very well appointed, but on the small side. Excellent location in the town close to some very good restaurants. The staff were very friendly and the hotel offered a good breakfast. The best hotel I stayed in on our 10 day tour of Iceland so highly recommended! More

Avery good standard hotel in town centre. Nice, clean modern rooms, very professional and friendly reception. Good breakfast but horrible early take away one. You come to Iceland to explore and many would like to leave before breakfast is served. I was disappointed to receive a banana and yoghurt as my take away breakfast. I was expecting a bit better...
