Lónsá Guesthouse  

Slightly north of Akureyri’s center, Lónsá Guesthouse is a budget-friendly guesthouse about 4 km from downtown. It’s a short drive from the University of Akureyri and the Jon Sveinsson Museum, with Akureyri Church and the Arctic Botanical Gardens a few minutes farther; Vaðlaheiði Útsýnispallur is within easy walking distance.

This small property has 13 guestrooms with simple, cozy decor and in-room basics like hair dryers; some rooms include bathtubs or showers and a kitchenette. Shared spaces—an open kitchen, a terrace, a garden and a common TV area—give the place a homey, social vibe, plus barbecue grills for outdoor meals.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout, free self-parking, laundry facilities, and a microwave and refrigerator in the common area. Tour/ticket assistance is available, and the terrace and garden are perfect for crisp Icelandic mornings.

Free Wi‑Fi keeps you connected and on-the-go; free parking is convenient for road-tripping guests.

Buffet breakfasts are served daily from 8 AM to 10 AM for a fee, and the communal kitchen lets you prepare your own meals. Barbecue grills are available for shared outdoor cooking, while town restaurants are a short drive away.
