Thornsteins Apartmenr: in Blonduos
Tucked away, impossibly difficult to find, in the town is this delightful guesthouse. It is actually slap bang in front of the church - no not the weird, giant, back one but the pretty, wooden, green &white one!
It had been very recently refurbished. It may even be possible we were some of the very friest guests, in not the first! Stylishly (modern) decorated with everything you could possibly need. Comfortable, clean. Lovely.
Sleeps a family of 4 (2 bedrooms, bathroom and hige kitchen/diner/living room) €110 for 1 night.

Hotel Kea: Enjoyed it.
We only stayed one night. The room was small but clean. Staff was accomodating. I would recommend this hotel to others; we got a special rate as we were off season - special rate meaing the same price as Hotel Harpa. The location was very good.

Hotel Edda - Akureyri.: Hotel Edda - an Icelandic hotel chain.
Hotel Edda is a chain of hotels which are only open during the summer months as they serve as a school during the winter months. When I stay in Akureyri I camp or stay at Brekkusel guesthouse. But there was a summer offer on certain dates at Hotel Edda in Akureyri and it was cheaper than staying at a guesthouse so I jumped at the chance.
It is a lovely hotel with spacious rooms. I opted for a room with a washbasin, with the showers and toilets being in the corridor. The room itself though was a little colourless (grey), seeing this is a school in the winter time. And the beds could not be pushed together, so we had to sleep in separate ends of the room. And in my room the pillows were really tiny, like baby-pillows, so I had to get my pillow from the car. But apart from this I was very happy with my stay, this hotel has a pure "hotel feel" to it.
On the ground floor there is a bar and a lounge area with a piano and a TV and a pool table. On each floor there is a sitting room with lovely sofas. Everything is up to par in this hotel. And I will definitely stay there again next time I visit the lovely town of Akureyri.
I add more photos of Hotel Edda Akureyri in a travelogue here.

Hótel Íbúðir: Big apartment in down-town Akureyri
There is plenty of accommodation in Akureryi. It seemed to me that every other house was a guesthouse. I picked Hótel Íbúðir from the guidebook and was not disappointed.
The first impression is not very favourable. The ground floor is completely empty, except from some dirty mattresses scattered over the concrete floor. It was only when we found the stairs at the back of the hotel that things got better. As is often the case in Icelandic guesthouses, there's no reception and it took a little while before the owner arrived. She gave us her biggest apartment with three bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room and a kitchen. The bathroom had a great shower and the beds were comfortable.

Countryhotel Sveinbjarnargerdi: Akureyri
This hotel is about 5-10 min from Akureyri on highway 1. The views from there are great although finding it was a bit tough. Just look for the sign on highway 1 called Sveinbjarnargerdi on the right and the only structure there is the hotel. Accomodation was great, people very welcoming and the breakfast very average. I wouldnt recommend eating over there unless you just want to fill yourself up...you could always drive to Akureyri and eat over there.
Unique Quality: Great views, free wifi, good accomodation.

Brekkusel guesthouse in Akureyri, N-Iceland.: A guesthouse in Akureyri.
Brekkusel guesthouse is one of the many guesthouses in Akureyri. I have stayed there three times. The location is good, 4 minutes' walking distance from the swimming pool, Samkaup supermarket is just opposite the guesthouse, the campground as well and the botanic garden is just a few minutes' away. The rooms are really cosy, white painted and clean. Some rooms have a shower and WC, others don't, but in the hall there is a very nice bath-room. There is a sitting room with TV and a big, fully equipped kitchen. There are 2 floors, but I have only stayed on the 2n floor, both in a room with a bath and without, and both were equally nice. There is one room though that is very small and I got a bad feeling inside, so I had to change rooms, so if you are sensitive don't stay in there ;) As you can see from the pricelist on their website the price is good, especially if you bring your own sleeping bag.
I stayed there the last time in August 2010 and was disappointed, the room I got was small and dirty and the shower was very dirty. This guesthouse has been my favourite when staying in Akureyri, but I would opt for another place to stay now.
I add more photos of Brekkusel guesthouse in a travelogue here.

Akureyri campground.: Camping next to a supermarket in N-Iceland!
There are 2 campsites in Akureyri, one right in the middle of the town, at Þórunnarstræti, where I stayed, and one in Kjarnaskógur forest right outside of town, which is called Hamrar. It is an excellent campsite, with good cooking facilities and toilet facilities. The campsite has access to the showers at the swimming pool across the street. You pay at the entrance and are only allowed to drive inside the campsite while unloading and loading your car, but I saw a lot of people not following that rule, and I myself would prefer to have the car parked near the tent.
There is a washing machine and a dryer at the campsite and access to electricity for a small fee.
Camping in the middle of a town is a cheap alternative to staying at an expensive hotel. But if the weather turns out to be awful there is a reasonably priced guesthouse across the street of the supermarket, see my tip on that.
I have camped here on several occasions and find it excellent and surely a cheaper alternative to the hotels and guesthouses in Akureyri.
The campsite is open from early June-September.

Unique Quality: Right in the middle of town with a supermarket almost on the campground and the swimming pool across the road.

Hotel Edda Akureyri: Hotel Edda Akureyri
Hotel EDDA is a highly recommended chain of hotels. They are simple with really clean rooms, and some of them offer very spacious ones; the food is fantastic (I had dinner in some of them) and the staff is very nice.
In reality, they are residents for students used as hotels from May/June to August/September (it depends, so, check the dates). But don't be afraid, some are good, some others, are really fantastic! For example, this one.
Unique Quality: Very spacious room.
Price I really paid: Twin room: 13.600 ISK; breakfast: 900 ISK per person (August '08); free wi-fi free parking in the complex.
1 ISK = 0,008251 € = 0,01213 $ (August ’08).

Gista apartments: The best place to stay in Akureyri
We always try to find apartments to stay in when traveling, as it offers often more comfort and you are more free in our planning. If we want to eat breakfast at 06:00 because when want to leave early we have this freedom. In Akureyri we stayed in apartment from Gista. We came in a clean and nice decorated apartment with all facilities an apartment should have. TV in both bedrooms and in the livingroom, not that we used it, but it was there :-), good kitchen equipments, an OK bathroom, access to the washing room and most important good beds to sleep in. We stayed there for a week and took day trips from Akureyri. What a great country it is!
Unique Quality: With two kids it was a real big advantage to have access to the washing room.

Hotel Edda: Great idea
We stayed at this modern college student dorm turned-to summer time hotel for two nights. It seems a top tourist group place, many tourist buses parked behind the building.
The room was simple but very clean and comfortable.
It is only 10-15 minutes walk to Akureyri historic center, where many good restaurants and a pedestrain shopping area located.
