About this stay

Arriving at North Mountain View Suites, you'll find yourself just 3 km from Akureyri Airport, making for a quick transfer after a flight. The apartments are designed for comfort, each featuring a private balcony where you can take in the mountain scenery. Evenings here are best spent unwinding in the hot tub or the private spa bath, a welcome luxury after a day exploring the region. The fully equipped kitchen in each apartment allows for self-catering, perfect for longer stays or for preparing meals at your own pace. The outdoor seating area provides another spot to relax, and a continental buffet breakfast is served daily, offering a convenient start to your day before heading out to Hof Cultural Center, 6 km away, or the impressive Godafoss Waterfall.

Our take

North Mountain View Suites are apartments at Leifsstaðir 2, about 3 km from Akureyri airport, and each comes with its own outdoor hot tub, so you soak on your balcony rather than in a shared tub. Units range from studios to a two-bedroom apartment for four, all with a full kitchen and a private bathroom. I would book it for two or three nights as a base for Eyjafjörður and the road east: Goðafoss is about 34 km away. You need a car, since you are outside the town centre, and there is no restaurant or pool on site. It holds 9.2 across 807 reviews in our data.

✓Heading east toward Goðafoss and Mývatn on Route 1, you pass through the Vaðlaheiðargöng tunnel: the toll is paid online at tunnel.is, not at a booth, so register your car before or just after you drive through.
✓On a clear winter night, turn off the balcony lights and watch from the hot tub: being outside the town centre helps, but auroras still depend on the cloud cover shown on vedur.is.
✓The Forest Lagoon is about 3.5 km from Akureyri's centre on the wooded Vaðlaskógur slopes, with fjord views from the pools; a shuttle runs from the Hof cultural centre if you do not want to drive.
✓Shop at the Bónus or Krónan supermarkets in Akureyri before you settle in: with a full kitchen, cooking in is the easy option.
✓Goðafoss is about 34 km away on Route 1: paths run along both banks, so cross the bridge and see the falls from each side.

Why guests love it
These are self-contained apartments rather than a hotel, built around privacy: a whole apartment to yourself, a balcony or terrace, and a hot tub reserved for your stay. Families of four fit in the two-bedroom apartment, and the full kitchen makes longer stays practical, with Akureyri's supermarkets and its well-known town pool a short drive away. The setting gives mountain views and some distance from town lights, which helps on aurora nights. The limits: no reception desk for daily help, no restaurant on site, and everything requires a car, including dinner. For a first or last night near the airport it works, and it holds up as a base for two or three days in North Iceland.
