Backpackers is clearly the liveliest place in town. Now admittedly we were there for the World Cup Semi final but it was buzzing. The crowd was eclectic covering a broad spectrum of ages and nationalities.
The beer is good, the food is decent pub grub with sensible portions.
It’s clearly a great place to hang out, meet people and enjoy a beer or three.
My only criticism is the result of the Semi went the wrong way, but that probably wasn’t their fault.

The place is perfect to meet people. It’s clean and beds are comfy. The Bar is busy and the staff were very nice and helpful.
Showers are powerful, which I love. They have hairdryer in the bathroom. The kitchen is equipped so you can cook anything there.
And we got a welcome beer when we checked in 😉
good location with friendly staff. also clean & comfortable with reasonable price in iceland. good for taking short stay esp for budget traveler. getting pub with free drink also good. i believe is one best choice in Akureyri
This email relates only to the restaurant at Akureyri Backpackers. Had a decent lamb kekab [a wrap to North Americans] with large potato wedges and a delectable dipping sauce along with an Einstock draft. The place was busy, always a good sign. The spot is medium-sized so tables were at a premium, all the more so during the World Cup. It was a happening place.
Great place, animated in the evening with the bar downstairs, free welcome drink, quiet after 11pm, great facilities and sauna !! Awesome location too, in the center of akuyeiri, close to everything..
The Akureyri Backpackers is one of the best accommodations I have ever been to. Very friendly staff, fantastic food and always good entertainment for example with seeing a singer performing there. It’s definitely worth staying there or just for having a cake or dinner there.
