There was a strange echoing/effect that occurred when people walked past my room, which made it sound as though people were very loudly stomping past. This isn’t a huge problem if you’re going to be up and about early, but was an annoying way to be woken when I was hoping for a sleep in.

The room was spacious, with comfortable beds and nice furnishing. The shared living areas were very cozy and there was plenty of seating in the dining area. The bathrooms were lovely and the shelves made for good storage of clothes/toiletry bags, and I like that there were piles of hand towels for one time use - with a washing basket in the corner- it felt more eco friendly than single use paper towels. The bathrooms were very clean as well which helped me to feel comfortable using this shared space.

This is a larger, quirkily decorated hostel. On the second floor there is a well equipped kitchen and pleasant sitting area which accommodated well the number of people staying. There is a winding metal staircase to access this area. Our room, on the ground floor was a good size and the bed comfortable (lighting perhaps a little dark). There were single toilets and showers spread within the building, which were clean. There is parking behind the building and across the road is a supermarket. Well located hostel if you have a car.

Great modern hostel. Enough toilets and showers and a great shared kitchen with all the ammenities and even some cooking supplies like oil and spices.

So much care and attention to detail has been put into creating this beautiful hostel. The rooms were homely and comfortable and the communal spaces were well stocked and somewhere you could happily spend a lot of time in. Kitchen facilities were good and the tea and coffee station was an added bonus! The value for money is incredible for this place!!

Really lovely hostel, within a 10 minutes walk of Akureyri. The hostel itself is spotlessly clean, my room was lovely and comfortable. The kitchen and dining area is spacious and the free tea and coffee is a lovely touch. There are plenty of showers and toilets so I never had to wait. Everyone here was lovely, and all respected the quiet after 11pm rule. I would definitely stay here again, amazing value for money!

Could be sure closer to the centre (but it's not far anyway) - but you are then pretty close to the uni, so a trade-off. The fancy pin code lock system sometimes gets stuck.

A very good hostel with everything that one needs. Excellent "common areas". Good communication and information. Bonus next door.

It’s tricky to get inside with that touchpad, it doesn’t work properly. When you place your finger on the upper button (how instruction says), it lights up only number 5, if you click on number 5 it lights up, but takes that number as the first number of your code (but my code didn’t start with number 5). When you keep your finger a bit longer on that upper button, it says “unauthorized “ and locks up, you gotta wait for 5 minutes for it to reset. Staff DON’T answer messages, but they DO answer the phone 24/7. It wasn’t only my problem, I’ve seen,at least, 4 customers having the same issue with locks on the door. One of them got locked at almost midnight and it took him a while to get in. If landlord would resolve issue with these locks on the door, this place would get many more positive reviews!

It’s a very nice place! Amazing job and thanks to cleaning staff! Kitchen and all shared areas are wonderful, cozy and have everything you need. People were very respectful and didn’t make any noise at night time.

A nice place, everything what we needed was there. A decent size family room, a nice dining area with everything what you need to make your own basic meals. Toilets and showers are nice and clean. A selection of shops within a short distance. In short, we were happy with our stay.

Nothing at all.

A really well thought out hostel. Bathrooms were stylish and always clean and available- and easy to keep clean and use too. Our room was a good size and comfortable and I slept really well. It was a real treat - and much appreciated - to have complimentary hot drinks; hot chocolate after a northern lights spell in the cold was ideal. The kitchen is very well equipped and organised and again easy to keep clean. Great communal space to relax in - and all guests seemed respectful of the place and people. We were really impressed with our stay. Also, got to see the northern lights on our walk back from the Main Street one evening (there’s a hill with a monument on it just past the big shopping centre) and even from the room itself! Other key traveller tips would be the free city bus to take you part way to the airport, also Akureyri car hire about 8 mins walk away: brilliant service and value.

The only slight issue I had was that there was no hot water coming from the tap in my room, only cold, this wasn’t a huge issue as I could use the bathroom for warm water but it would have been nice.

The hostel was amazing, the beds were super comfy and the rooms / bathrooms absolutely spotless. There are lots of bathrooms and showers so I never had to wait to use one. The kitchen is has all of the necessities and there is a supermarket 2 minutes round the corner. The free yellow bus service stops just outside the hostel too which is really convenient. Great value for money and I even managed to see the northern lights from my window.

The location isn't in the town center, it's either a 20 minute walk or 5 minute scooter ride if you don't have a car

I stay here every time I come to Akureyri, always á very reliable experience. Extremely clean and comfortable, all at an unbeatable price

The stairs were too much for me. I had an accident in 2018 that left me with a non displaced fracture. Pain in hip. 🥲 I couldn't get the TV to work no matter how much i changed channels.

The place was nice. The cleaning lady was very kind. People were friendly. it was a nice location and very clean. Decent.

Absolutely nothing, it was faultless

An absolute hidden gem!! We cannot wait to return, the bed was soooooo comfortable!!

I did make a query about storing baggage before arriving that wasn't answered, so I think the communication is largely automated. Also, it doesn't seem as though there are facilities for luggage storage as there is no reception, so that's something for people to be aware of.

This hostel is lovely and cosy! The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is well laid out and stocked, most of the bathrooms are high end (with hairdryers, which is really handy!), and there are some really lovely areas to sit and chill. The area also has good access to shops for stocking up on food. I loved staying here and wished I was staying longer.

Only one frying pan and it's not non-stick so it takes a while to clean.

Everything was great. Spotless room and kitchen. Comfy beds. Great location. Very handy to be located right next to the bus stop for the free yellow city bus.

Beds too firm.

Lovely location and room. Nice kitchen and clean bedrooms/showers. Our beds were a bit too firm for us, but the linens were soft and comfortable.
