The hotel sheets and pillow bags were dirty and had blood stains on them. The skylight in the turret is so narrow that I can't move normally, and I have to walk up a long staircase with heavy luggage, which is very inconvenient.

Surprisingly for the provided room that included a living hall. We had never seen any receptionist from my stay.

Upon 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.

Appartamento mal disposto. Eravamo in 2 coppie: c'era una camera da letto senza finestre e un divano letto che occupava praticamente l'intera cucina. La cucina esiste ma non ne è consentito l'uso. Nota positiva, la buona posizione

My friend and I had planned a weekend trip to Akureyri with accommodation at Lava Apartments. To enter the hotel, you need a code that you punch in at the entrance – the keypad was sticky and disgusting, but I didn’t think too much of it since we were just excited to enjoy the weekend together. Then we walked into the room, and things didn’t get any better. The smell inside was awful – a heavy stench of feces, or like urine, according to my friend. There were poop stains in the toilet, toothpaste splashes on the mirror, and the glass in the shower looked like someone had smeared mud on it with a dirty cloth. That made us wonder: if this wasn’t clean, what was? Did they even change the bed sheets? Since there’s no front desk, you have to call, send photos by email, and then wait for a response. Fine, we just took our things back to the car, and I called again to ask for answers. After a short wait, we were told we could move to a different, larger room, as no other smaller ones were available. We went to check it out, hoping for something better, though I must admit my trust in this hotel was already gone by that point. The second room was slightly better – at least there was no poop in the toilet – but the cleanliness was still far from acceptable. The wall above the sofa was filthy, the fridge hadn’t been wiped down, and I don’t even know what else. So in the end, I emailed them and said I couldn’t bring myself to stay there and had found another place. We didn’t even get a reply.
