Absolutely loved it here! Quite large, room was really spacious, large area upstairs for relaxing and dining and huge kitchen. Would book this on a heartbeat over a hotel for sure. We had a room for 3 with 3 separate beds, sink area and desk with room to spare. Beautiful very clean and contemporary spot but has lots of antique stuff around to look at.

A really nice stay at Akureyri HI Hostel, with very modern facilities and decor in all rooms. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the freebies (tea, filter coffee, hot chocolate, and cereal) were very much appreciated. We also had a sink in our room, and bathrooms were all very convenient. Secure keyless access to the main building and room (using the same code). A very easy, comfortable stay.

I would strongly recommend this hostel to anyone traveling in Akureyri! It is far and away the best hostel I've ever stayed in (and honestly closer to a hotel than most). The common areas are kept meticulously clean, and are decorated beautifully. The kitchen is fully furnished with multiple cooktops, fridges, and sinks. I stayed in a room with two twin beds, and it also had a desk, TV, and small sink (one of my favorite amenities). The bathrooms are stylish and always clean. Truly a fabulous place!

Never got a confirmation email from the property and never received check in information. Had to work with Expedia to get the information while standing outside in the cold while it was raining. Nothing like being in a foreign country without cell phone signal and having no way to get into the hotel. Everything else about the location was just fine

It was clean and spacious enough for my 3 friends and I to be comfortable. Everyone I spoke to were friendly. It was easy to walk from there to almost anywhere we went for those few days. I’d definitely recommend this hostel.

Affordable, safe, comfortable stay

It was comfortable and the woman in reception was super helpful in steering us toward the best places to see northern lights, which natural areas to visit, etc. It wasn’t really walkable to anything, so I think in the future I’d stay somewhere more central. Compared to other hostels, the bathrooms weren’t as convenient on the 1st floor, but the kitchen was spacious and clean and overall a good experience
