Hafnarstræti Hostel

Obviously a bit of a novelty sleeping in a pod hostel. Getting to the nitty gritty though, whilst the privacy of a sleeping pod is very much appreciated, the pod is not without its flaws. The plastic is hollow, therefore the slightest tap on it causes noise. So bring ear plugs. The neon lights might look cool, but the one next to the pod door is reflected in the mirror & for me, was annoyingly bright when trying to sleep (so I ended up sleeping at the TV end). There are no channels on the TV but you can google cast to it. Pity I had an iPhone then. The pod controls are essentially for the lights, fan & door. As for the rest of the hostel, I thought the kitchen was a bit small, though the dining area was fine. Free Coffee & Tea. Nice that there is a balcony to sit outside on too. Showers & WCs were fine, though renting a towel costs extra. All in all, reasonably priced for what you get (by Icelandic standards).

The first time that I have stayed in a pod - so comfortable with air conditioning, power, high speed WiFi and a tv.

Awesome Asta took great care of me since I went on the plane (she was sitting behind me) she's wonderful and very keen on her job! She made sure what not to miss in the local area and I'll never forget my giant ice cream.

Very kind people, who helped me when I needed to resolve a problem with my booking. a capsule Hotel that is a very good idea for hostels and it is also funny to sleep in a spatial-like room. The unique problem maybe is the weak electricity to recharge phone... but you can recharge your electrical stuff in the common area. I warmly reccommend to stay in this hostel if you are in Akureyri, it's in the city centre with parking in the street.

Value for money................. Walkable No shower gel in the shower. Not enough tissue

This property is very unique. Located in the downtown core. Parking is free in the Town Parking areas P1 and P2 overnight 4pm to 10am. Property was clean. Sleeping accommodations were good. Manager was friendly.

The capsule we stayed in was comfortable and a unique and fun experience. The front desk was very helpful with check in. Limited amount of showers/toilets, so in the morning and evenings had to wait.

Very nice couple operate this interesting facility. They work hard to keep it clean and running smoothly. Very convenient for a budget traveler. Secure entry and good security. We brought and cooked our own food in the well equipped kitchen. (With many other guests doing the same) Hostel vibe with visitors from many different countries and lots of ages. We enjoyed the experience but are happy that we brought earplugs. 9 bathrooms for up to 80 guests but we never had trouble finding an open one when we needed it. Right in the middle of downtown so tons of restaurants within walking distance.
