Guest reviews for FE Gisting
"A charming accommodation in the perfect location. Closed to downtown and the swimming pool, yet quiet at night. The staff was local and very friendly. I was on a conference but wanted to avoid the buzz of a big hotel. This place had all the comfort I needed and a good wifi connexion."
"Aucun."
"Amazing location! Quaint, peaceful and comfortable for our stay in Akureyri. Street parking right out front and just a quick walk down the block to city centre."
"Aucun."
"The location was great, the staff was kind and gracious, the room was very comfortable."
"My room was at the front of the building by the entry door, so I had to keep my blinds closed or everyone walking into the building (or on the street - I had windows facing both directions) would be looking into my room. The bathroom fan ran non-stop (the positive is, it was just like a white noise machine, so maybe it helped me sleep). ;)"
"This is a lovely, comfortable establishment which is very close to the town centre, offers easy parking out the front and the owner is a very genial and welcoming gentleman. Our room was very spacious and comfortable, had a lovely view over the town and provided everything we needed for our stay."
"Aucun."
"It was an old house renovated into a modern one. I liked the antique wooden scent combined with the modern look of the second-floor bathroom. Everybody had a great sleep."
"It would be nice if they offered a microwave or some basic kitchen equipment."
"The place was amazing! Such a beautiful b&b. The room was big, spacious and beautifully decorated. The host was so sweet! We ended up adding on breakfast and he made us the best breakfast layout. Great location and very clean! Also the room had black out shades that helped with the light summer nights."
"Aucun."
"Gisli was very accommodating. Breakfast was extra but delicious and a great value. Really good coffee. The bathroom was huge with a tub and heated floors."
"Just a couple more pillows! The small one we each had wasn't enough."
"We had a really good night here. The room was very nice and clean. The bed was super comfortable. Also, served breakfast was great. In front of the hotel was a free parking too."
"The only disadvantage was tiny sink, but it didn’t disturb us"
"Fantastic old home full of beautiful antiques, centrally located, wonderful host who spent lots of time making great suggestions and he upgraded me at no cost to a wonderful double room with a sitting area and private bathroom. Thank you!! Oh and free parking right outside the front door!"
"Absolutely nothing!"
"It was a lovely guest house with a charming and helpful host. Excellent location, good value."
"I would have preferred real milk and brewed coffee in the morning. We don't care for Nescafe and powdered creamer."

"Spacious and perfect for a family of 6! Loved the location for us as we were trekking around the area! We did some Reykjavík, Golden Circle, and Blue Lagoon. Love the quiet community near the ocean with a perfect view to the north for lights!"
