Traveller reviews
Vinicius “Good for a nice stay on a budget, well located, don’t bother with the breakfast”
08 Apr 2025
The hostel is very well located in the town centre one block away from akureyri church and the art museum, and it’s a straight line from the airport if you feel like taking in the view on a lovely 45-minute walk overlooking the mountains. It is also conveniently above a pub, that serves as a nice spot for night drinking and is open to the public from 10. Between 8-10 it serves breakfast for guests for a fee not included in the stay. Showers are in the basement, which makes it slightly less ideal in the privacy aspect to have to pass by the pub in order to shower. The facilities are clean and decent enough, but the sauna was under maintenance when I visited so I couldn’t comment on that. Iceland is known for being a country with a higher living cost, hence most people finding it expensive - but there’s expensive and there’s overpriced. Although the hostel offers shared and individual rooms for a very competitive value (being one of the cheapest in Akureyri), the variety of foods at the breakfast bar was quite disappointing for the price and I would much rather recommend having a decent cooked breakfast at a nearby restaurant (there are plenty in the area) for virtually the same price as they charge for what is a small selection of cereals, some chopped veggies and a tiny board of cold cuts and bread. Some of the staff seemed distant in some interactions, but the hostel’s dynamics were designed so you can logistically spend a whole stay without needing to talk to anyone (as they will message you with all the door locks’ combinations prior to your arrival and everything else is well signalled through notice boards), provided you don’t need them for anything out of the ordinary.
Anna “Spartan accommodation with lovely reception+restaurant for very low price.”

The staff were super friendly and helpful. The room, even though almost laughably empty, was clean and beds incredibly comfortable - especially after we were supplied with extra pillows. Restaurant serves tasty food in a lively atmosphere.

Much nicer than the photos - big bedroom, felt very clean, perfect location for the town centre and very close to the airport too.

Szabolcs “Good value for money and it is good to remember that this is a hostel, not a hotel.”
16 Feb 2025
The place is right in the town centre. The staff was very helpful and friendly and the check in. The room was spacious. I would put some little chest of drawers or a wardrobe in the room as there was nowhere to unpack my clothes. There was always hot water when had a shower. Had a ceiling window and managed to see the northern lights from my room. Be prepared for noise coming in from the street as it is in the town centre and also from the ground floor bar/restaurant.

Typical backpachers hostel, with a wondeful position and avery good restaurant; it's a funny place where you can meet people from all around the world; well organized with thermal showers.
