A reasonably priced small apartment in the center of the town. Easily walkable to all destinations in town. Ideal location for day trips to areas around Akureyri.

Wonderful stay!
We had to stay an extra night as weather conditions made it impossible to continue on our road trip. We booked a second night and the owners very kindly allowed us to stay in the same room which was greatly appreciated. We would recommend staying here.

We had a good 2 night stay in February, and enjoyed the facilities provided. The insulation of the room wasn’t fantastic and we woke up with puddles of water on the window seal. This must be a recurring issue as there was some mould on the curtains.

Exterior is ordinary, but interior was surprisingly modern, spacious and pleasant. Location is a few blocks from downtown and near walking trails to the water.

These apartments have potential to be perfect but lacking minor things that ruin your stay. Firstly, great it offers parking with it being central, good location with plenty of things surrounding to eat, explore and shop. Easy check in (emailed to you prior but no one about should you have any problems). First impression - apartment large, great facilities, comfortable and everything you needed should you decide not to go out. Large bathroom with walk on shower, sofa and tv, dining table, fridge, microwave etc. however quickly noticed how dirty it was. Crumbs all over the counter and in drawers, sink dirty, bathroom around toilet filthy, cupboard door missing, screw on floor and one in cupboard, towels solid, small and had a funny smell so we used our own.

Nice place but a few things to be aware of
The rooms themselves were fine, and modern, but we got kicked off the wifi hours before the checkout time of 11 am. Also the walking areas surrounding the property and parking lot were littered with garbage and the exterior of the building looked low-rent. Nice place overall, but building management need to do a little more work on a few things.

Disappointing Stay in Akureyi
Parking situation wasn’t as advertised - I had to park on the street, and the room was extremely bare bones. I ended up bringing my own towels into the room since only one was provided. Was in a good location and was pretty clean, but otherwise a disappointing, uncomfortable stay. I was glad I only booked one night at the place.
