"Eclectic hotel with a hostel feel…breakfast was bountiful and delicious…family suite was spacious and funky. Parking was easy and very convenient to downtown and airport."
"This was a real treat and was like a mini vacation within our vacation. The location (quiet solitude, views, surrounded by the horses), all the comforts of home (to sit on a real couch again even lol) and being able to make our own meals and enjoy a private evening in the hot tub were just what I needed."
"We loved our stay. The room was bright and clean and we had a great view of the mountains in the back and of the farm animals. Elisabeth was a great host and the breakfast provided was so good. We enjoyed our chats with Elisabeth. I would highly recommend the guesthouse!"

Though Giljahverfi might not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like Akureyri Botanical Garden and Akureyri Church.
We set up a tour to view the Northern Lights in Akureyri and we were taken up to the top of the ridge that overlooks Akureyri across the river. We had our best night of Northern Lights viewing taking this tour.

What an incredibly beautiful and convenient town smack in the middle of the ring road roundtrip. Good place to stop for a couple of days, rest, dine in the plenty of restaurants, go for a whale and puffin sighting tour from Husavik, Indian restaurant

Akureyri has easy access to quite a few harbors in the region that were fun to explore. Plenty of dining options are available so it's a nice place to stay while going out for the day to explore.

A very small and quite town which will be much busier in years to come now flights have started from Manchester & London. Activities to do in both winter and summer which makes it an all year round place to visit depending on weather preference.

It is an absolutely lovely area. The downtown is nice and the gardens are great.
"Stayed here one night with my sister and had a great experience. Only place we stayed with AC so that was a huge bonus. Self service was easy, the bathroom and room were great. Would definitely stay here again "
"I stayed at the hotel for a few days after being released from the hospital after surgery on a broken ankle. I stayed while waiting for my travel insurance to arrange transportation back home in the United States. The staff were all so nice and helpful since it was not easy for me to get around. Someone was always willing to help me fix a plate at breakfast since I was using a walker and could not carry anything. And they did it with a smile!"
"The rooms are converted student accommodations. Spacious with personal bathrooms. Convenient location from main downtown area and close to Botanical Gardens.
Adequate electrical outlets for electronic devices. No TV. Hair dryer available from reception. Friendly accommodating staff. Lots of parking. "
