Lock in a great price for Aska Hostel – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

It was nice to stay here when I did as it was a very quiet Sunday evening. Lovely facilities and a great location.

Allison, United States of America

Location if you have a car. View. Very comfortable bed.

Dylan, Canada

Location is great. Next to a good restaurant and not far from the port. Guests are courteous and not noisy

Maggie, United States of America

Nice and clean and they stayed late to make hamburgers for my kids and I

Sam, United States of America

Friendly helpful staff, great location, big corner room with nice view

Danielle, Canada

Aska Hostel was one of the best hostel experiences I've ever had. The fact that it is family-owned is clear, as the staff were personable and attentive. I definitely felt at home despite only staying here for a few days. Heimaey is a small island but this hostel was perfectly situated -- surrounded by great beer (Brothers Brewery), great ice cream (Joy), and great food (Gott).

Cara, United States of America

Aska Hostel is in a perfect location, near the harbor and ferry, with free parking across the street and food restaurants within walking distance. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. A kitchen is available for all to use and this is the source of cameraderie between the guests. We had the family room, which was the only room on the ground floor, and didn’t have to share the bathroom. The island is so small that you can reach the farthest point south in 10-15 minutes by car. We completely loved this beautiful island. It was a highlight of our trip to Iceland.

Kim, United States of America

Great rooms, comfortable, very cozy! Highly recommend!

Ariel, United States of America

We were in a corner room on the second floor with beautiful views of the cliffs surrounding town. The facilities (especially bathroom facilities) were clean and more private than anticipated for a hostel. This was a great value.

So this was really the only place available to accommodate my family, and I was a bit reserved staying at a hostel. Once I arrived, I was amazed at the cleanliness and great location. Most of all, I was super impressed with our host HAUFSTEEN. One of my objectives visiting the Island was to see Puffins. After a day of sightseeing the entire Island, we arrived back at the ASKA tired and failed to get to Puffin lookout.:( After chatting with Haufsteen when we returned, he so graciously offered to take us out to Puffin lookout, and gave us his homegrown tour of the Island in his car!!!! He was awesome, as he helped make our trip to Iceland a most memorable one!!! We stayed out to 2 am seeing things that most tourist would never get to see! I would highly recommend ASKA, and would love to return one day and stay with them. GOOOOO ICELAND!
