About this stay

Named for Hjalteyri, a small former herring-processing village further up the fjord from Svalbardseyri, this apartment hotel trades airport proximity for a quieter, more self-contained setting, a twenty-five-minute taxi ride from Akureyri Airport. The pool and hot tub combination is a step up from most of the destination's cabin stock, and apartment-style rooms suit a longer stay better than a one-night stop, especially with free breakfast covering the mornings. Pet-friendly and kid-friendly billing together make it a workable base for mixed-need travel parties, whether that means an animal in tow or children needing space to move around indoors during a stretch of bad weather. The herring-village name is a reminder of the fjord's working past, long before Route 1 turned Eyjafjordur into a tourist corridor.

Our take

Apt. Hotel Hjalteyri is a three-star apartment hotel with a pool, a hot tub, free breakfast, WiFi and parking, in a kid-friendly and pet-friendly setting on the Eyjafjörður fjord shore. Its 9.8 rating comes from 94 reviews. It is twenty-five minutes by taxi from Akureyri Airport, so a car or taxi is part of the plan. I recommend it for families and pet owners who want a quiet, self-catering base with a pool.

  • ✓Book a longer stay here rather than one night, the twenty-five-minute airport distance rewards settling in rather than a quick stop.
  • ✓Bring groceries from Akureyri before arriving, the apartment format suits self-catering more than relying on nearby restaurants.
  • ✓Use the pool and hot tub together after a day on the road, both are included and rarely paired at this price point.

Why we love it

  • Pool and hot tub in one apartment-style property
  • Pet-friendly and kid-friendly rooms together
