It was the nicest hostel that I have stayed at. Great location on the main street in Akureyri. Not the most social hostel I have stayed at though.

The pods were surprisingly comfortable. The common areas were well taken care of, and beautifully decorated. There were plenty of bathrooms - sometimes a worry at hostels. It was definitely one of the best hostels we have stayed in. It is right in the center of town, so perfect location to see Akureyri.

This is my first time staying in a Hostel. I was very impressed. Staff are helpful. The common area was big and clean. I did not like the pool table. It creates a loud noise. It is difficult to rest after a long day of hiking or traveling. IMO

Great hostel, perfect location, very clean with plenty of bathrooms (which we were concerned about after reading other reviews). Staffless check-in worked fine. Oh, and excellent free coffee! Only complaint is that the pod was too warm, with no way to control the temperature apart from a fairly ineffective fan.

For the price, it was fine. The capsules weren’t for me but some people might think it’s great. They were advertised to have “AC” which is not an accurate description of what the units have for air flow-two small vents that did not keep the unit cool in the least. The mattress is also basically what’s in a crib (or was in the 90’s-I think cribs have better mattresses now). The power outlets in the units aren’t great. Paying the equivalent of $8 to borrow a towel for one day feels criminal. The property managers were responsive to messages.

Decent budget option, but communication and support need improvement. I emailed well in advance to confirm my booking but never received the necessary info, and there are no staff on site to help. Pros: Affordable budget option. Pods are reasonably comfortable for sleeping. Earplugs made it possible to get a decent rest. Cons: No staff on site; arrival instructions weren’t sent despite emailing well in advance. In-pod safe was locked and unusable. Outlets and USB ports inside the pod don’t actually charge devices (only explained in the instruction video after arrival). Alarm function on the pod was disabled. Pods are not soundproof. When crowded (e.g., student groups), it’s difficult to find a free outlet in common areas.

I had never stayed at a Pod hotel before. I went to the pod and could not figure out where the keybox was. I did figure that out when I went back to the front again. The Plugin in Pod 58 only worked some times for me. It needs to be replaced. The kitchen was great. Not sure if I'll ever stay in that kind of place again

Staying in a pod was such a unique experience. Pod walls are not soundproof, but cozy and have a TV for an ultimate movie watching experience. The full kitchen was super convenient and common areas and bathrooms were kept very clean. Parking in P1 and P2 is paid during the day and free past 4pm, which we only found out when we got there, but overnight parking was painless since P1 is super close to the hostel.

Stay was okay, but you have to keep your luggage in luggage/storage room provided inside the hostel.Limited parking in front of the Hostel and you have to pay for parking if its parked outside the free parking hours.

This was a great property in the downtown of Akureyri. The location couldn't have been better. Though it was a hostel, it was very clean. The property also provided many amenities.

The pods were amazing. Having your own little quiet space was just the best. They are spacious and so comfortable- I had a single and had space to store some clothing items. There are coat racks and a good storage space. It is kept clean and is lovely and welcoming. The bathroom Facilities are very modern and it’s about 12 toilet/ shower rooms. There are 2 lounge areas - kitchen and at the back of the hostel and the outdoor area is also lovely. The kitchen facilities are great too and everyone did their bit to keep it tidy. Would recommend and would stay there again

The pod hotel idea is cool, and the pods are quite cozy and nice. However, there were a lot of very loud rude people in the pods around me coming in and out after midnight. It's very loud in the bottom pod when someone is disrespectfully stomping up their steps and opening and closing their door all the time. I got very little sleep.
