My one night stay at FE Gisting Guesthouse was lovely! Just up the hill from the city center of Akureyri, it was a five minute walk to many shops, bars, historical/art interest points, and restaurants. On-street parking was easy to find, free, and safe. The home is very sweet and adorable, the office/lobby area beautifully decorated. The bedroom I stayed in was in the front of the house, but I did not encounter much noise. En suite bathroom with shower, comfortable clean linens, a small refrigerator, and a tv were in the room. Coffee and tea provided in the main room. An excellent value overall! Akureyri was a really cool little city, and the proximity, safety, and overall vibe of FE Gisting made it one of my favorite guesthouses in Iceland. (Also there is a public pool across the street, which I sadly did not experience! But next time!!)

This is a charming guesthouse with just the right amenities—great shower, coffee in the morning. The guest house is across the street and steps from the city bath house and also walking distance from the shops downtown.

Very comfortable bed and plenty of room although bathroom a bit cramped. Nice furnishings, pleasant and helpful manager. The street is a busy one so can be noisy with traffic at peak times morning and evening as property on a hill. Also guest house is noisy as my room was on the ground floor so could hear noise from upstairs and the owners part of the house. Also the room I had was off the lobby so people coming and going made it noisy and no privacy from the street or other guests if the blinds were up. Would suggest putting the type of blinds that can go up from bottom to give privacy in this room as all the others are upstairs.

It was like staying at your grandmother‘s house and was just as welcoming. It appears to be an old single-family home that they’ve converted into private rooms. I believe I stayed and what it was once their front parlor complete with a spinet piano. Overall, it was a lovely quiet stay.

Our room was very spacious and was walkable to shops and restaurants. So long as you don’t mind the walk back up the hill. Only complaint is the water that had the sulfur smell which in turn made the room smell a bit.

The staff waited for me after I got caught up in fog on the mountain and driving a long distance. The room was eclectic as I think it was a living room. It had a piano in it and some living room furniture. Also the place doesn’t have a sign or big name letters on the building. Very tough to find but I was able to park at the Masonic temple. Thank you for stay up late and helping me.

Nice, spacious room, good location

The room is huge and overlooks the main road in town, but there was no noticeable noise in the room. The bathroom is also huge and has separate bathtub. You can walk to the main part of town and the local public pool and park. Parking is on the street, but was easy to find.
