perfect location, nice bar/restaurant Employee told us about free parking in the community center nearby, 2-3 blocks away. as we didn’t mind the walk, just saved us about $60 for two days stay. Nice little balcony at the end of the hallway, just outside our door. Continental breakfast was convenient for 1900 Kr. We had a delicious dinner Location was great for visits to Godafoss, Husavik, Asbyrgi, Hverir, Dettifoss and Selfoss, Hverfell and Myvatn during our 2 day stay. (And during nice weather, bypass the tunnel, save the $33 round trip fee and enjoy a beautiful 12 minute scenic route.)

Great option for a nice one night stay in Akureyri. The burger at the downstairs restaurant was delicious!

Clean room, comfortable bed, very good location right in the city center.

I like the idea of this kind of hostel and bar/pub. They have great customerservice, delicious meels and strong coffe. Place is spacious that guests of the hostel and visitors fom the street can find a cosy room for them to spend a very nice time.

Backpackers is a meeting point for people in Akureyri. It has a bar/estaurant and many locals visit the place daily.

very friendly folks, extremely clean. easy check in check out, very centrally located. way above expectations! will highly recommend!

Located right on the man street with most of the town's attractions and fantastic restaurants and cafes within very easy walking distance. The bar and restaurant downstairs are cosy and serves good food.

Friendly staff - free beverage voucher with check in was a pleasant surprise. Very clean and cozy hostel!

Very big and nice room, in the center of town, friendly atmosphere

Looks just like the pictures. Very comfortable with wonderful staff. Location was superb.
