I was surprised by how nice this property was. Our room even had a couch in it. The kitchen was well equipped. I wish we were able to stay more than one night!

11/10 recommend best hostel I stayed at in all of Iceland

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Rachael & Nicholas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

Jeanne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hostel exceeded all expectations. The room was well presented and clean. The kitchen and bathroom facilities were exceptional. Everything you could need and more. Check in was simple and code came through well in advance. Would definitely come back here again 😊
Sharon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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
Matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good value 2 star property and on a convenient location for shops and a bus ride from the airport. However, it good do with more than just one shared shower.
Jeremy, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Justin, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay

We had a good stay at the hostel. It is a family (father and daughter) run hostel. Both were super friendly and had great tips and recommendations. They helped us to decide on best day and time for a whale watching tour and also arranged the booking for us. Kitchen was big and very clean. Just one information: only salt and sugar was available (no oil, pepper, etc) because they pay very big attention to keeping the kitchen clean and that no groceries from leaving people are still there. Room size was good for 2 people with 2 pcs of big luggage. Sufficient showers and toilets available.

Overall quite happy eith the experience, but i never received an email with check in instructions prior to arrival, and with this being a completley remote check in, cause me to have to jump through some extra hoops to get my room. The property operator did answer the phone and sort it out quite quickly though!
