I didn't see the staff while we were there because we were out and about most of the time, but I rated them highly because of their communication before our arrival, as well as the daily condition of the facilities. The hostel is right across the street from a gas station, pizza, and a Bonus. It was easy getting to and from the ring road. We spent 2 peaceful evenings here. Every area was clean, and the guests seemed very respectful of the shared spaces and each other. The dining area had lots of tables, and there was free instant coffee, tea, and hot cocoa packets. Our room had comfortable beds, a desk, and a few chairs, plus a sink and mirror. I wouldn't mind staying here again!

I was a little wary of staying in a “hostel” but I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious enough for two travel buddies and the beds were comfortable. The place is impeccably clean and I’m very impressed with the cleaning staff. The bathrooms are shared but there are enough to go around and I never had an issue with access. The kitchen/dining space is amazing. There is a Bonus grocery store within walking distance. One thing we didn’t realize before buying a frozen pizza was that there’s no oven (or at least we didn’t see one).
The only thing I would suggest would be better light-blocking blinds in the bedrooms. This summer sun is no joke.

Very good location, its a little far from down town but Bónus (Supermarket) and Glerártorg (Small mall) is in 5-10 minutes walking distance. Also its free to hop in a bus in Akureyri and you can also rent a electric scooter. I really liked that you can keep food in the fridge and freezer, just need to mark it your room number. Also you can cook your food in the kitchen. It has a comfy vibes to sit and relax both in the lobby on both floors and also in the dining room. You coldu rent a room as a group and cook dinner together. I have not stayed in a hostel where you can do that. There was free coffe and tea. There were many toilets og also a few showers.
Its a old house so it understandable, but i found the bathroom was a little un-comfortable. Dark and cold vibes. Maybe time for a little makeover there.

Rooms are beautiful and parking free. The whole acccommodation is beautiful and very well set out.
Kitchen is too small for the amount of people that this accommodation holds. Before arriving at the accommodation, we called to ask if there was an oven, in which they said that there was. However unfortunately there wasn't. Only a space for one! It made cooking our pizzas difficult, especially since we were a family of 8 persons!

We really liked, that even it was city hostel it was very clean and the bathrooms was beautiful. We really appreciate the coffee machine and also tea bar and equipment in the kitchen. It was feeling good to sit in the "winter garden" and have dinner there. The place was also very queit you cannot hear neighbors talking. The grocery shop Bónus is right next to the accomandation, there is good situated parking place and the downtown is 10 minutes walk.

The hostel was very clean and the beds were comfy. The kitchen was nice, the showers were spacious. Right off Route 1, easy to find.
More toilets and possibly even more showers would have been nicer, but it was manageable. I think one of the pots in the kitchen (second floor) might not work with the induction cooktop, 6 of us tried to figure out why the stove top kept turning off until someone finally grabbed a different pan. A bit of a trek from downtown, but I knew that going in, so not a deal breaker

The accommodation was easy to find. It had nice cooking facilities with more than one cooking station. It was a shared bathroom but we never had to wait. I liked having a sink in the room even though there was a shared bath. It was a basic room but it was quiet and comfortable.
The parking was far from the entrance but that could be because we got there fairly late. We requested a ground floor room not knowing the kitchen was up a spiral staircase. That would have been a challenge if we had been trying to cook.

The kitchen, dining room and living room are very comfortably and nicely decorated. Very well refurbished. There's pretty much everything one could possibly need. Free coffees and tees.
Not enough bathrooms for all the people staying. There wasn't spare toilet paper and the next morning only one toilet out of 3 or 4 still had some toilet paper. As it's a self - check in premise, there was no one to ask. When I went looking for the two nice ladies responsible for cleaning, I couldn't find them.

Very clean. Lots of outlets in the room, so no fighting over who charges the phone first. We were on the second floor and had 4 full bathrooms for 9 rooms, I never had to wait to use one of them. The kitchen is spacious with plenty of cups, pans, dishes, etc. Tables to eat and more comfortable chairs to sit and read of relax are also available.
I liked everything

Location is nice, it’s easy to get restaurants, gas stations, supermarkets. The facilities are nice and friendly to everyone, and will provide door code so wouldn’t have to worry about key. Parking lots are available for visitors. The open area like kitchen, bathroom and WC are clean. It’s pleasant to stay in decorative and nice room, and highly recommended to everyone.
