The check in was only one moment, which wasn't the best of all. My card, which I got, didn't work so I had to call the host and the call answered some guy, who wasn't helpful and kept telling me, that I am using my card for opening the capsule incorrectly, even though it was not my first time there, so I have already known, how everything works. The card was not working at all and the guy was kinda rude. Luckily he let know the owner about not working card and when she came in person, I have got the best service from her and got finally working card. It is not a big deal, but when you call a host, when there is some problem, is it not nice to talk to somebody, who is rude and not helpful at all. Even though this happen, I would definitely come again, because the accomodation is not usual and has a really good vibe so you have a great experience from that! So definitely recommended!

The hostel is equipped with all basic amenities. Not just that, it has facilities which were above our expectations. A fully functional huge bread toaster, steamer and what not. Highly recomend this place for a cozy and comfortable stay.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels in Iceland during my trip. I spent a few weeks in Japan recently and this hostel reminded me of this time. + Spacious capsules for privacy + Clean and modern facilities + Good location in city centre and close to the harbour + Terrasse on the roof + Big dining area + Area with couches to hang out + Wifi worked fine

    Third time staying here.The best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. It’s like an extension of the owners home. All the fixtures & fittings are quality & carefully chosen as if it’s their home. I’m over 6 foot & I find the pods comfortable & private & always get a good nights sleep. It’s a great central location & best value in Akureyri.

    The cleaning inside was impeccable. The rooms and bathroom are very comfortable. What I more like is the plugs next to the bed and every bed, even the upper bunk beds, have a little table. Also it's very safe and every bed has a locker for luggage. When I arrived there wasn't any staff working so I can not judge.

    All the spaces are clean and people very kind! We spent only one night here. It was our first experience in a capsule. It was amazing! The most cheap hostel we find in Iceland. I really suggest it.
