rooms (bathroom, TV); the cheaper old wing has shared bathrooms and a dated feel. Com-
munal lounge areas are lovely. It's a short walk to the pool and botanical gardens. Break-
fast costs Ikr1750.
Hótel Kea
HOTEL
Ikr29,200/36,500; )
Akureyri's largest year-round hotel (104 rooms) and popular with groups, super-central
Kea has smart business-style rooms with good facilities (including minibar and tea-/
coffee-making facilities). There's little local character about it, but some rooms have bal-
conies and fjord views. On-site is Múlaberg, a smart restaurant, plus a cosy lounge, but for
our money the Icelandair hotel is a fresher (cheaper) option.
