Great location in central Akureyri. The pod hostel concept is great, balancing privacy very well with shared spaces. A new hostel, still getting its facilities up and running, with lockers to come shortly (you're still able to keep your valuables in your pod, and charge your phone safely there). Breakfast is very tasty and generous. Staff were very helpful with all requests.
