    Disappointing food
    Sorry but the food has been overrated on a number of these posts - just has the 'special' pasta and the bistro burger. The pasta was dry with limited source, burger was ok although bun was soggy and wedges overcook / burnt. Should have expected what was to come when food was…

    Property's Favourite Review
    Excellent hostel with all the amenities you expect from one, as well as a really good bar/restaurant.

    Cozy hostel with amazing food
    I loved everything about this hostel. It was so comfortable and clean. The sauna and the restaurant were my favorite. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else in Akureyri. The location was great. Very close to parking lots, stores, other restaurants, and the botanical gardens.

    "Unique Social Hostel"
    "street view"
    "choice a room that is not with a street view, so you dont get interupted by party and cleaning cars in the morning"
    "great for groups of people"
    "Private rooms are available, but if you're willing to risk sleeping with strangers to save a few bucks, it's worth it."
