“Capsule” is a unique hostel style for Iceland and was a welcome sight! The couple running the hostel are quite nice. They do a fantastic job keeping the place clean and running well. Really, they have thought of everything. Great location on the main shopping street, right across from a fun restaurant/bar with great ice cream and many different beers. Also you can easily walk anywhere you need to go in the city. I stayed 3 days I liked it so much.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels in Iceland during my trip. I spent a few weeks in Japan recently and this hostel reminded me of this time. + Spacious capsules for privacy + Clean and modern facilities + Good location in city centre and close to the harbour + Terrasse on the roof + Big dining area + Area with couches to hang out + Wifi worked fine

    Third time staying here.The best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. It’s like an extension of the owners home. All the fixtures & fittings are quality & carefully chosen as if it’s their home. I’m over 6 foot & I find the pods comfortable & private & always get a good nights sleep. It’s a great central location & best value in Akureyri.

    The cleaning inside was impeccable. The rooms and bathroom are very comfortable. What I more like is the plugs next to the bed and every bed, even the upper bunk beds, have a little table. Also it's very safe and every bed has a locker for luggage. When I arrived there wasn't any staff working so I can not judge.

    All the spaces are clean and people very kind! We spent only one night here. It was our first experience in a capsule. It was amazing! The most cheap hostel we find in Iceland. I really suggest it.
