    Our room was on the first floor in the hall area. All coming in people opened the door using electronic keabord. We could hear every sound of this lock and rolling suitcases in the hall as wel as slaming door. Even at night time.

    We liked the location and the room itselt. Decent size bathroom.

    Too hot, uncomfortably hot during the night. The curtains are too short and the bright sun of May made it difficult to sleep.

    Very convenient place in the centre of the town

    Suited my stay well overall

    Only real downside was there was no where to store luggage when arriving before check in. As I did not have a car I had no where to put it and facilities to store do not exist elsewhere in the town. Not an absolute deal breaker, but something to note to be aware of. Luckily weather was delightful to be outside in the mean time.

    I booked a week or so before my trip and the price point at the time of booking was good for Iceland and the level of accomodation. The check in/door code process trouble free. Room was clean and functional. Could have done with more hangers but not a big deal. Glad to have a fridge to keep snacks and other supplies. there was some coffee sachets but I didn't rely on them and brought my own. A way to better wash bowl/plate/cultery would be good, but didn't bother me particulary. Tv/steaming apps functionality was a little hit and miss, but wasn't there to watch tv! just used it when getting ready etc I didn't need any help from staff i saw in person, but any questions i had over messaging were dealt with promptly and effiecently. Overall it was quiet while I was there. You can't fault the location. It's a small town anyway, but easy walk to the main street and to bus drop off/pick up for airport as well as the main bus terminal for the free local buses. I'm not sure where you'd control heating if it was very cold but i didn't have any issues with being cold, happy to have a window to ventilate room. Would happily stay again if/when I return and recommend to others! Thank you for being part of a great stay in Akureryi.

    Loved the private room & private bathroom. Free parking is available around the back & just follow the pavers to the front. Self check in & out was very simple & straightforward. Wonderful location, 3 min walk to restaurants & shopping. Beautiful view from my room on the second floor.

    Lack of tea or coffee making items. There was a kettle but only one small sachet of coffee and one whitener. Considering I was staying two nights this was poor.

    Modern, new, well maintained, great location close to all amenities.

    N/A, all was fine.

    The location here was great (right next to an ice cream shop, added bonus) and walkable to shops and restaurants. It was easy to access the building and room using self check-in and it was nice having our own bathroom. I would stay here again.

    There was an issue with the check in. There was a guest in my assigned room when I entered it. Staff resolved the issue immediately.

    Great location and accesability. Staff always available through a phone call and always available to help. Clean and comfortable.
