Discover the breathtaking natural splendour of Iceland’s north with a stay at the heritage Hotel Kea by Keahotels. Sitting in the heart of Akureyri, known as the ‘Capital of the North’, this classic hotel – first opened in 1944 – is a stone’s throw from the city’s attractions, including the Hof Cultural Centre, Akureyri Art Museum and its iconic church (Akureyrarkirkja), designed by renowned Icelandic architect Guðjón Samúelsson. Adrenaline-fuelled adventurers will find plenty to explore in the surrounding countryside – trot along a fjord on an Icelandic horse, try your luck with whale watching, go for a dip at Hrafnagil Swimming Pool, or take to the slopes at Hlíðarfjall ski resort, just an hour’s drive away.

So enjoyed staying here. When we arrived the room wasn't ready (even though it was an hour past check-in), but the staff were really apologetic (it was a busy time in the town). No problem, as the hotel is so perfectly located centrally we went out for a look around and a coffee. Once in, the room it self was really lovely, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good and there are several great restaurants within a short walking distance. Would highly recommend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We were really disappointed with our stay at Hotel Kea. The room was clean but lacked comfort and character. The pillows were extremely flat and uncomfortable. The shower was just as frustrating, with water temperatures swinging from hot to cold, making it difficult to enjoy or even take a normal shower. If you like surprises, I am sure this isn't the kind you'd prefer. When we requested basic utensils — bowls, plates, and cutlery — room service told us we’d have to come downstairs to get them ourselves or pay a 2,500 ISK delivery fee. This kind of nickel-and-diming over such a simple request felt very disappointing and unprofessional. To make matters worse, the hotel is located directly across from a bar that attracts a teenage crowd. The street noise — shouting, fighting, loud music — went on until 2 AM. We barely got any sleep. We ended up checking out a day early just to get some proper rest elsewhere. If you’re looking for comfort, quiet, or even basic hospitality, we strongly recommend staying elsewhere. The only positives of this place is that the front desk staff who checked us in were polite and professional, and the housekeeping staff was extremely friendly and polite. The central location is good, but there are other hotel options in the neighbourhood as well.
