It's a wonderful property but this is NOT family friendly. It is really clean and location is really convenient to shopping and dining. Double edged sword - there is a bar on the main floor and it is extremely loud, until 1am or later on weekends making it nearly impossible for children to sleep. Might be quieter during the week but would certainly not recommend with kids on the weekend (maybe I should have known better). However, if a party atmosphere with some friends is what you are looking for I would imagine this spot would be a blast.

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic stay! The staff was unbelievably friendly and easy to talk to. The dorms were spacious and clean and we had the best time! I highly recommend it!

It was a homey atmosphere and right at the center of everything in the city. The staff was very helpful and kind and check in was very easy.

It was a terrible stay. Worst place we ever stayed. I wish I could give a negative rating. Very noisy, cannot sleep at all.

Awesome spot right in the heart of town! Can’t wait to come back!

The staff was less than enthusiastic, but helpful. The rooms were clean, the common areas comfortable. The dorm was very spacious. The toilets clean, but the showers could have used an additional scrub. The hostel was well located and convenient to all the things in the town that I was interested in.

Staff are generally nice and friendly, there is a bar downstairs which serves good food, many locals came for dinner so is quite vibrant if you would like to mingle with people from different counties. However the room does not include duvet which means you either have to rent one (1100 isk) or bring your own sleeping bag. You will have to bring your luggage upstairs too.

We had an amazing time staying in Akureyri. The only thing I would complain about is the location of our room/window. We were located above a very popular bar that was playing loud music and had screaming customers till 2am. Other than that it was a great place to stay.

Lot's of interesting people. !! Clean, not expensive

Outstanding hostel, if you like activity and meeting people.Great cafe/restaurant/pub, best in town. Akureyri is a fantastically fun and beautiful town!

The bathrooms were clean, room was comfortable, good kitchen. A couple of things I wasn't too happy about: breakfast was 1,300 ISK and was very poor selection for the amount of money. The shower room is located only in the basement and I had to pass through the first floor which is a cafe/bar. Overall I really enjoyed staying here though.

Great little town and just a great area to get around and see the sights of northern Iceland. Everyone is very friendly!

The hostel is in the center and during the weekend there's free parking in front of the building, on weekdays you can park free close to the hostel. The hostel looks really good, it has a warm industrial look, I loved it. There is a kitchen where you can cook but they also have a bar / restaurant where you can have a drink or have lunch or diner. The food they serve is very good. I've stayed at the second floor, which includes the rooms, toilets and sinks. The showers are in the basement and there's also a sauna (free to use). Bring a shower cap if you don't want to get your hair wet when showering. The staff is kind and helpful and they make you feel welcome. The beds are comfortable and everything is clean. The only downside was that all rooms face the street and it was extremely noisy during Friday and Saturday night. But nothing that couldn't be stopped with earplugs :) Overall I've enjoyed my time here and I will stay here again.

It was great. Clean and well-maintained. Drink tickets upon check in were very nice. Just wish the showers weren't in the basement. We stayed on the 4th floor and had to walk all the way down. Also, they were packed at 9am.

We would have liked them to be more informative online about policy and payment, as there was some surprises. Interesting environment.

It was quite pleasant stay - clean room, well equipped kitchen, laudromat and lively atmosphere. What I expect from hostels.

This was a great place to stay for a night! I stayed in a woman's only 4 bed dorm and it was perfect. The hostel was immaculately clean, the workers were friendly, the decor was lovely and the location was great. They also give you coupon for a free beverage (beer, tea, or coffee) upon arriving. Very well worth the price. I would definitely stay here again and suggest to anyone traveling through Akureyri.

This place was awesome to stay at, everything was perfect except for the dude at the top bunk.. He was a terrible sleeper but thats not the hostels fault.. They probably couldve screwed the bunk tighter so his restless sleep could have been less affecting towards us all but like I said its beyond their control.. Its a great place to stay at and I recommend you to stay there :)
