The property did not meet our expectations for the following reasons:
1) There was no free parking available between 4pm and 10am, unlike what the property description said. They sent us an email saying they have free parking at a certain place opposite our apartment, but when we went there the parking was already full, so clearly they have less spaces available than they have apartments, and it's first come first served, so we had to park in the P2 area which is not free.
2) The walls are too thin and we could hear a lot of noise coming from the neighbour unit waking us up very early in the morning
3) The bathroom light is sensor-activated, but once it's on, it will stay on for a good 20 minutes with no way of switching it off. This can be very annoying when someone is trying to sleep. Even closing the bathroom door doesn't always help and a lot of light comes through in the bedroom anyway.
4) The two "bedrooms" (i.e. the proper bedroom and the living room with a sofa bed) are connected at the top (the wall between them is only 2/3 high compared to the ceiling) so there is also zero sound insulation between the two sleeping areas.

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. Lots of dining options. Clean and slept 4 comfortably
10.0 / 10.0
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.

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.

Despite initial skepticism, renting at this location exceeded my expectations. The space was fantastic, and there were plenty of affordable dining options in the vicinity.

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.

Absolutely terrible. Bad smell, old towels and the fridge that’s inside the wall made really loud noises keeping me up in the night and staff very unhelpful and disrespectful.
6.0 / 10.0
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.

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

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)
8.0 / 10.0
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
4.0 / 10.0
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.
2.0 / 10.0
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.

Nice location for tourists. Very new and clean rooms. Easy access to multiple good restaurants around.

We enjoyed our one-night stay at Lava Apartments. Very clean and easy to access from the main road (with free parking). The hosts emailed our access code, which worked fine. Room was large and clean and very comfortable. Right in the heart of Akureyri. Would definitely visit again.

Very clean and quiet, however no desk person made it difficult to find the designated parking as a foreigner the street names look similar. We did eventually find it.
4.0 / 10.0
Clean, close location to restaurants
But if you are a tall person i wouldnt recommend this place, ceiling low at some spot and you will hit it.
6.0 / 10.0
I liked the town centre location and cleanliness. We did not have enough towels for 2 people and the window is a luke in the roof.
8.0 / 10.0
Great room and very easy check-in process. Centrally located- about a 5 minute walk to restaurants. The bathroom could have been cleaner, and the soap was running low.
6.0 / 10.0
The location & bed was perfect. Apartment was pretty and quiet. But the shower was so uncomfortable. I was staying 107 with personal shower. Low water pressure, too hot or too cold water, and I could not fix the shower head. So during the stay, I just took a shower in the bath outside the town...
The reply was slow but the staff (who I encountered in accident) was kind. He came in the room before the checkout time, but it did not matter but it could be problem if someone was in shower or sth.
But still recommend this place! Except the shower, everything was so good.
