Located in Dalvík, 44 km from Hof - Cultural Center and Conference Hall, Dalvík Hostel Gimli provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. I'm repeating myself from my first visit to Gimli 4 years ago but the hostel is one of the best hostels I have visited. It is quiet, the location is great and it is just ever so peaceful.
