Hafnarstræti Hostel offers capsule sleeping pods in Akureyri. Guests can choose from single or double bed capsules. Free WiFi is available.

Akureyri Church and Hof Cultural and Conference Center are about 350 metres from Hafnarstræti Hostel. Akureyri Airport is 3 km from the property. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience to stay in this type of hotel. My family was overwhelmed with emotions about how everything was thought out, cozy and comfortable organized here. And all this is still to the hospitable and always smiling and ready to help owners of the hotel. I strongly recommend getting such an experience.

Facing the beachfront in Vatnsnes, Ósar Hostel has a shared lounge and a bar. The hostel also offers free WiFi and free private parking.

Guest rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. All guest rooms at Ósar Hostel come with a shared bathroom and bed linen. My group had the whole house for itself, which is a stroke of luck one will probably not have during the high-season. We were welcomed upon arrival at night and shown the place, which was very spacious and clean - and warm! The rooms are small, but as the shared accomodations are huge, that is not a problem, especially when you are the only guests. The parking-space for the Hvitserkur-rock was just a few hundred meters away.

Private bedrooms, really clean, spacious living room, lots of kitchen appliances and amenities, no shortage of bathrooms. Even free clothes wash and dry! The self check in is a really interesting idea and it worked well.
