Great place to stay mid Ringroad journey
Absolutely loved the Kea hotel. Outstanding location with loads of restaurants, shopping and parking areas close by. Very centrally located in Akuryeri right in the middle of our ring road round trip. Ease of booking, comfortable rooms and good service

Hotel Kea
Room was excellent. Staff courteous and very attentive to needs. Not sure the hotel can do anything about it due to it being Iceland but when using the water the sulfur smell was strong and the water had a sulfur taste to it. Just used bottle water. Good location

Not recommended
We had to wait 10 minutes at the reception before someone showed up to assist us.
The room we were given was on a floor with no elevator access, so we had to carry our luggage up the stairs.
The shower wasn’t great either—it was hard to get the temperature right. Plus, the shower curtain was really dirty and had a bad smell.

Enjoyed my stay at Keahotels which was central to a lot of dining & shopping in Akureyri.
Really liked the room as well as the offered breakfast, too.
My only negative would be that there seemed to be inexplainable banging & knocking around the building, which did make it quite loud, especially into the evening hours.

The only concern I had about the facility is that the hotel has no onsite parking. You park on the street for free up till 10 AM. Afther that you have to pay for parking. Something to be award of.

Nice hotel and staff, however, no parking on site and rooms on the 2nd floor cause you to have to go up and down multiple elevators and travers hallways to get to your room. Neither are convenient for traveling with luggage. Otherwise, had a nice stay.
