I really like the concept of sleeping pods, bed was comfortable. It is easy to check-in if you come late. Hostel is very nice, friendly staff. They have pool/snooker room. I like that visitors have to remove the shoes at the entrance, this is how it should be everywhere.

Big room for a group, very great and comfy beds. Plenty of shared, very clean bathrooms. There is little contact with the staff but a very good experience overall.

We liked the hostel although it was not in our plans. We were stuck in Akureyri due to weather conditions and wrong tires in the rental car and stayed for one night there. Luckily, one of the staff , Ewa from Poland was there and everything was sorted out! She is not just kind but caring and genuinely helpful. The sightseeing of Akureyri is Ewa!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

One of the best hostels in Iceland during my trip. I spent a few weeks in Japan recently and this hostel reminded me of this time. + Spacious capsules for privacy + Clean and modern facilities + Good location in city centre and close to the harbour + Terrasse on the roof + Big dining area + Area with couches to hang out + Wifi worked fine

Third time staying here.The best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. It’s like an extension of the owners home. All the fixtures & fittings are quality & carefully chosen as if it’s their home. I’m over 6 foot & I find the pods comfortable & private & always get a good nights sleep. It’s a great central location & best value in Akureyri.

The cleaning inside was impeccable. The rooms and bathroom are very comfortable. What I more like is the plugs next to the bed and every bed, even the upper bunk beds, have a little table. Also it's very safe and every bed has a locker for luggage. When I arrived there wasn't any staff working so I can not judge.

All the spaces are clean and people very kind! We spent only one night here. It was our first experience in a capsule. It was amazing! The most cheap hostel we find in Iceland. I really suggest it.
