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.

The location cannot be beat - the apartment was close to food, shopping and tours. The apartment was a good size, relatively modest and clean.

Great location
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.

The apartment is very well maintained has a fridge and cutlery, a microwave.
Close to the harbour.
Easy accessibility to the room with the code.
Many restaurants near by if you want to eat outside. Bonus and Kronos is also walking distance. Staff did respond and allowed me early check in because of the weather.

We didn’t see any staff which is the reason for our rating. Our apartment was good just wished we had a coffee maker and toaster. The car park is behind the building could use some upgrades.

It was an ok experience
Could have been better with consideration to amenities like soap in the bathroom, salt and pepper in the kitchen (dispensers were empty)

Didn’t like the slanted roof, I’m 6’6”, but I knew it was slanted when I bought it.

The apartment was spacious but we found objects that were left from prior guests in our room. There was rarely someone at the desk when we needed anything. Very noisy at night. Location was good. Close to all the shops and restaurants
