"The hotel is halfway up the mountain, and you can see the whole mountain through the window. It's not far from Akureyri's pedestrian street, and it takes 10 minutes to walk there. There seems to be a citizen hot spring bath next to the hotel, and there is a parking lot downstairs, which is quite convenient."
"The apartment was very clean, the location is quite good, a little bit outside the center.
I think the instructions should be better in terms of how to arrive to the place.
Had no exact pictures and was a little bit hard to find it during the night as well as to understand how everything works."

"We recently had the pleasure of staying at K16 Apartment in the heart of Akureyri, and I was thoroughly impressed. The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore the city. The apartment itself was spacious and cozy, providing a welcoming atmosphere. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchenette, which had a complete set of cooking tools, making it easy to prepare meals during my stay. The check-in process was hassle-free, using a convenient PIN system. Overall, K16 Apartment offered a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Akureyri!"
"We had an enjoyable 1 night stay in the newly renovated boutique wing, which we requested for. The hotel was in the midst of transformation so we expected hiccups but there were none. Our room was compact but newly furnished with a very comfy bed and stylish amenities like a large Samsung TV, coffee machine, Marshall speakers and L'Occitane toiletries. We were hoping for a city/fjord view instead of the hill fortifications out back. Still, we enjoyed the new hotel facade, plush lobby cocktail lounge vibes and ease of free parking out front. Breakfast requires one to walk out to the next building annex but the hall had roomy seating and plenty of options for a nice Scandi breakfast. The airport is a 5-min drive away, the city centre and waterfront all 5 minutes away on foot. A nicely updated base for Akureykri and North Iceland."
"Iceland's second largest city, the hotel is located on the commercial street. Cars cannot be driven in front of the door, and cars can only be parked on the back road. The hotel reception and bar are in the same place, the environment is a bit messy, there is a small elevator upstairs, which is more convenient. I booked several rooms, some large and some small, and each room is decorated differently, resulting in a variety of shelves for storage. But overall it is relatively clean. Because there is a bar downstairs, it is a little noisy when the window is opened, and the sound insulation of the window is good."
"Quite a novel experience staying in a capsule and loved the privacy and USB ports and universal socket. No snoring noises though the plastic doors create a din whenever someone slides it open and close. Not sure if the bathrooms were in use or barred from use but a few seem to be perpetually locked. Shower stall may be a little tight and no rack such that toiletries can only be placed outside the shower stall. Nice kitchen. All dishes to be washed and placed in dish washer for disinfection. Only grief was no hair dryer. ISK 1000 to rent a towel seemed exorbitant but not uncommon in Iceland."
"Good location, there is a pig supermarket nearby, the living room is large, but the lighting can be improved, because it is connected to the open kitchen, but the lighting is not enough, and the cooking is a bit dark. The room is not big, there is no way to put luggage, but there is a shelf at the bedside, and there is a small wooden raft at the door of the room to put things. I encountered a strange thing that night, around 8 pm, suddenly another tenant opened the door to enter the porch, just happened to stop her at the door, it should be wrong. Called the front desk to complain, said that the password was not shared, and I have been appeased that I have no security concerns, but I am also afraid, so I have to take the drying rack and rope homemade security equipment to ensure that the door cannot be opened. Fortunately, there was no accident that night. I guess there is a problem with the door?"

Very Good
XXiaoyuluodefenggeyuLocated at the end of the gorge, the scenery is beautiful, very convenient, suitable for self-driving tour! The room facilities are complete and relatively new, recommended!
NNishizhuyaoThe only true god around the island, the first choice for self-driving tour, to Akreli that night was very late and raining, self-check-in silky, townhouse style, the car parked directly outside the landing door, the room is as big as the domestic friends, you can't find such a big on the island, Sofa TV dining table has everything, the key is too cheap, the cheapest one around the island these days is the best
GGuest UserIf you chase the aurora, you can take it downstairs in the hotel. It is a little bit away from the city center and there is less light pollution, but it is only a few minutes away to drive to the check-in point, which is very convenient. Good service and hot food. Basically satisfied.
AAdamBlackgreat! Very good value for money, the largest room I live in Iceland, the living room is large and there is a balcony. Spent the Chinese New Year here and made dumplings hahaha
GGuest UserUpon arrival at the apartment, the reception is no longer staffed. On the door hangs a phone number where you can reach the apartment. The person on the other side of the phone first asks us why we do not use the code that we should have received by e-mail. Checked E-Mail Account - mentioned E-mail missing. According to the apartment, this would be sent two days in advance. Since we had not booked two days in advance - impossible.
So now checked in by phone, everything ok.
On to the first real point of criticism.
When opening the room door, a strong smell hits you, which tries to cover the bathroom smell - long airing with a wide open window creates some relief.
When checking the bed, one finds reddish, brownish stains on the bed cover - very unattractive.
We were accommodated in room 25. The location is unfortunately unfavorable. The room gets the full street noises.
Now to our biggest point of criticism: from about 00:30am until after 02:00am, an Asian tour group turned night into day! The hotel cannot be held responsible for human stupidity and antisocial behavior such as door slamming, loud talking and laughing in the corridors. Such behavior can unfortunately happen anytime and anywhere, but an entrance door that slams into the lock so loudly every single time that everyone in the hotel must hear it and you are always startled out of your sleep is simply unacceptable.
Last but not least, the tour group had finished their party - thank goodness, and you thought peace would turn in, the small refrigerator inside the room started up. Humming loudly, it wouldn't let you fall asleep for another perceived eternity.
All in all, this was unfortunately the worst and most nerve-wracking accommodation of our 15-day Iceland tour so far. We can not recommend this apartment, nor would we come back again.
PPennyTSYFour-person room space is limited, suitcases can be opened outside the room, kitchen and toilet are outside the room but it does not affect
There are heart-shaped traffic lights outside the house to take pictures. It is only 500m to walk to the church. We went to the citywalk in the morning and Akurey returned to the residence to pick up the car and leave. The snow is really beautiful. The whole stay experience is very satisfactory.
MMicrobe kaiMy wife and I booked a double room in this hotel, full of rooms, and the door of the room is already using electronic locks!
The first floor is the restaurant, check in is also at the restaurant counter, check in with a free drink from the restaurant. The kitchen has a simple microwave and a kettle to use.
The bathroom is in the basement, and it will definitely pass the restaurant on the first floor. It feels a bit strange, and men may still go wrong into the women's bathroom. This part is a bit strange in the design of the compartment.
There is a bar behind the hotel, which will be very noisy before snoring at night. Even if the soundproof airtight window is closed, it is quite loud; and the door bow buffer of the restaurant door on the first floor of the hotel is not enough, and the closing will affect the upstairs!
