Hotel Kjarnalundur
About this stay
Kjarnalundur's woodland setting sits close enough to Akureyri Airport, three minutes by taxi, to double as a first or last night on a Ring Road trip without losing the feel of a quieter, tree-lined property. The hot tub and sauna run alongside a full pool, an unusually complete wellness set for this stretch of Eyjafjordur, and the restaurant means dinner is available without a drive into Akureyri's centre, eight minutes away by taxi to Akureyrarkirkja and seven to the shopping street Strikið. Free breakfast and parking are both included, and the accessible, kid-friendly and pet-friendly billing together make it one of the more flexible bookings on the destination for mixed groups or families travelling with pets.

Our take
Hotel Kjarnalundur is the closest thing to an all-in-one stop on this stretch: a pool, sauna, hot tub and restaurant in a woodland setting three minutes by taxi from Akureyri Airport, with free breakfast and parking. I would choose it for the first or last night of a Ring Road loop, when a short airport transfer matters most. Travellers who want walkable restaurants should stay in central Akureyri instead.
Why we love it
- Three minutes by taxi from Akureyri Airport

- Pet-friendly, accessible and kid-friendly rooms
Why guests love itHotel Kjarnalundur is a three-star woodland hotel three minutes by taxi from Akureyri Airport. It combines a hot tub, a sauna, a pool and a restaurant, and breakfast and parking are free. Pet-friendly and accessible rooms are available, and it is eight minutes from Akureyrarkirkja and seven from Strikið in central Akureyri. Guests rate it 8.2 across 420 reviews, and I would pick it for an easy arrival or departure.
