“4/10. Could've been much better.”
You get a lot of privacy, despite being in one big room. The mattress took some getting used to, but it was still an okay sleep. If you're looking for a hostel where almost anything is in walking distance, this one's a solid pick.

“SUCH A FABULOUS PLACE TO STAY!!”
I loved everything, I was a solo traveller and stayed for a week. The capsules are very comfortable and I felt very safe.

“Great accomodation in Akureyri”
Excellent location, quiet hostel, clean and well thought space, plenty of communal space. The capsules are great, comfy beds, easy checkin and checkout. They have a massive fridge in the kitchen, a walk-in fridge - that is very cool (pun intended). Free coffee and tea mahcine, very handy in the mornings. Bathrooms are individual, with shower, sink and toilet. Separate few sinks are available for handwashing, toothbrushign or make up. Will definitely stay here again. Everything is online- booking, checkin, checkout. There is no manned receptio, however there is a member of staff on site for emmergencies.

“Fab stay”
Very lovely hostel, everyone was very quiet and respectful, pods were a larger size and plenty of space for us to store small backpacks in with us. Great they also provide headphones for the TV in each pod

Everything, Every staff member that couldn't do enough for you,Beautifully arranged and set up with many kitchen appliances and massive walk in refrigerator ,comfortable and large clean futuristic pods to sleep in and completely safe with very good security.The location was perfect for me and a 2 minute walk to the whale watching boats and its the easiest half an hour straight forward walk to the airport to save you £8 on the bus and get some last minute photos of this magnificent place.The only thing missing from there now is me

“Best capsule hostel i ever stayed in my Europe trip ❤️”
By far the best capsule hotel i stayed in my travelling around Europe. Its super central location, very clean and tidy. Have individual shower rooms, very well equipped kitchen, amazing communal area, roof terrace. Many books to read, chess, pool table. Coffee machine available 24/7 free. Walk in, giant fridge, modern kitchen. Very spacious, check in is straightforward, and the capsules are really comfortable. Spent a whole week there and enjoyed a lot. Would not hesitate to come back again… will do it with pleasure! Loved it!! ❤️

“Its verry verry nice ,, i well come back soon ,, i have quastion can you send to me messege to my email”
Honestly, the place is clean and the service is excellent. For example, the kitchen, cafe, and lounge are very nice. I really liked the place, and this isn't my first time staying here. I think I stayed four nights last time and returned yesterday. What I liked most was how the staff and the manager treated me. They were incredibly kind, polite, and respectful. I was very impressed with them, both the man and the woman in charge.

“Excellent stopover!”
The hostel is in a very central location. Superb! The facilities are also very well managed. The kitchen is well equipped. The bathroom area is pristine clean. We had a good night sleep in this stopover during our ring road travel.
