About Akureyri Airport

Akureyri Airport (IATA: AEY) is the aerodrome serving Akureyri, and the hotels near Akureyri Airport sit just to its south, in the same built-up area as the town. Iceland's domestic network makes this a working airport rather than a seasonal one, so arrivals and departures run through the day and into the evening, and the terminal is small enough that passengers move through it quickly. Travellers based here use the airport both as a gateway for trips around the north of Iceland and as a convenient link to the rest of the country. Because the runway lies so close to Akureyri itself, the accommodations listed below are all inside the town's own streets, between 1.0 km and 2.6 km from the terminal. That short span is what defines a stay here: guests are not stranded out by the airfield, they are in Akureyri with the airport a few minutes away.

Tips for staying near Akureyri Airport

  • With every listed hotel between 1.0 km and 2.6 km of the terminal, the walk is only worth it from the closest few. From 1.7 km onwards, plan on a short ride so luggage and timing stay manageable.
  • Several properties, among them Geirþrúðarhagi 6A one bedroom apartment 102, Family apartment hosted by LL and Hotel North, list free car parking. If you are collecting a rental car at Akureyri Airport, staying at one of these avoids hunting for a space in town.
  • Akureyri Airport is a compact domestic aerodrome, so build in margin rather than arriving at the last minute. Guests at the 2.0 km to 2.6 km properties should allow extra time for the transfer on departure day.
  • Apartments with kitchens, such as Geirþrúðarhagi 6A one bedroom apartment 102, Family apartment hosted by LL and Forest Hideaway Near Akureyri, let you settle in after a late arrival without depending on restaurant hours.
  • If a high guest score matters to you, Hafdals Hotel at 4.9 out of 5 from 97 reviews and Sæluhus Hotel Apartments & Houses at 4.6 from 276 are the strongest rated of the hotels near Akureyri Airport.
