It is a little bit of a walk out of town centre....but will only take you 10-15mins from the Tourist Info place right on the waterfront (well - without knee deep snow, like I encountered on my first night, which took me a bit longer) - and is WELL worth the effort! The place is spotlessly clean and comfy. The... More

We stayed 2 nights in this hostel during our stay in Akureyri. The hostel is somewhat away from downtown, but then, most people who go to Akureyri have a rental car. The hostel from the inside looks brand new, the rooms are fully Ikea style equipped, which means comfortable, standard and clean. There was good internet access, right amount of... More

Arrived at the hostel and checkin was quick/easy. Got to my room and forgot that I needed to bring a blanket/pillow.... my fault obviously. I used a towel for a pillow and jacket for a blanket. The room was clean and the bathroom was right outside the door. No problems with sound from other guests. Some Indian guys from Reyk... More

It was clean and there is internet access (though weak and spotty access) and a really nice size kitchen. The rooms, in contrast, are so small that we could not open both of our suitcases at the same time, and if one suitcase was open no one could walk, enter or leave. Really almost uncomfortably small. The price is also... More

We stayed for three days in June and had a fantastic welcome from the moment we arrived. The reception area was professional, warm and welcoming with candlelight and a receptionist who dealt with our (pre-booked) arrival in an informative and welcoming manner. Our room two berth bunk room was spotless as was the rest of the hostel. We even had... More

I stayed in a private room with washrooms down the hall. It was quiet when I was there and clean. The check in hours seemed to be more limited than other places. I was there in early afternoon and it was closed and I returned later to check in. The check in hours are 4 to 7pm. The wifi worked... More

I tried to call the Youth Hostel times and times again, a few hours before my arrival in Akureyri but no one would answer, just and answer machine that said "We're busy at the moment". The hostel is pretty far from the city centre, i walked there with my heaven bag and once i got there, there was a note... More

I stayed at this hostel during a visit to Akueyri for a conference at the university. It is located about a 20 minute walk from the University and Downtown, but is very close to a mall, grocery store and two bakeries, which was very convenient. The rooms are average sized with 4-5 beds. There are desks and chairs in some... More

We stayed here two nights and thoroughly enjoyed both Akureyri (especially the surroundings) and the Hostel. The hostel is well set up, has a good location, is clean and friendly. The student receptionist working there during our stay was very helpful and efficient. She organised a horse ride for us (at a discount rate offered to all hostel guests). They... More
