Hotel KEA is a very sstrong trademark in the small town of Akureyri. It has a lovely setting, wonderful rooms and a great breakfast buffet. The service is good and it proved to be an excellent venue for a conference.

This hotel is a good choice in Akureyri - right in the middle of town and a decent price. The place is a bit characterless and there are only about 5 parking spaces for the hotel. The room was comfortable enough if a bit small. The breakfast was very nice, even if the breakfast room is a bit souless and... More

I stayed at an apartment next door to the Kea and while I can't speak to the quality of the rooms, I can tell you I crashed an office party there and it was really fun. The hotel is beautiful and right in the center of town, just about the best place you could ask to stay at. You walk... More

We stayed for 4 nights in December and the hotel is in a perfect location. Close to all the shops and restaurants and very easy to walk everywhere from here. Room was spacious but very basic furnishings. The beds were comfortable but the lighting in the rooms was inadequate so difficult to read. The bathroom had a very small sink... More

Given that Akureyri is somewhat off the beaten track, we were unsure what to expect when arriving at the Kea. We had a good welcome and while our room was quite some way away from the reception, it wasnt an inconvenience. The room was tidy, well appointed and as with most icelandic hotels, the shower was fantastic. Free wifi throughout... More

The hotel is not fancy but it is more than decent. Room was not big. It was very clean. The location was good for shopping and finding restaurants nearby as well as being near the harbor and many of the sites of the town.

Selected the Kea because I didn't think I would like the climb to the IcelandAir hotel that I read about here...definitely was a good choice for us! We were originally given a room at the far end of the hall and next to a service elevator. My husband asked for another room, and they offered a room right at the... More

Stayed at Hotel Kea during a skiing trip to Akureyri. The check-in was a smooth process and the location is central, almost at the edge of the town centre with shops and restaurants withing walking distance. We stayed at room 409 which had a lovely view of the sea and the small harbour. The breakfast was basic, nothing to write... More

Hotel Kea stay was excellent. Love Akureyri as it is a quaint small town and a great base for exploring northern Iceland. Hotel Kea has excellent staff, including manager Harald who graciously alerted us when the Northern Lights made their appearance directly overhead. Clean rooms, excellent breakfast, great location at the base of the steps of the much-photographed church. About... More

We stayed for two nights at Hotel Kea as part of a Icelandair package. Our room was a little small, but otherwise quite adequate. The staff was pleasant and helpful, and the breakfast buffet was delicious with a very good selection. Even though it is an older building, the hotel is well maintained and clean. Definitely a place to come... More
