Húsavík Green Hostel

Húsavík

Set in Húsavík, Húsavík Green Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. The property is non-smoking and is located 47 km from Godafoss Waterfall. I really couldn’t fault it. Beautiful and comfortable and I liked that you had to leave your shoes at the door which made the place cleaner. I can’t believe I’ve forgotten the front desk’s name, but they were incredibly helpful and friendly and we had a great laugh about the Eurovision movie while they were telling me about things to do in Húsavík. Plenty of parking and a great central location to be able to walk everywhere easily. I would stay again and for longer!

Akureyri Hostel

Akureyri

Set a 10-minute walk from central Akureyri, this family-owned hostel offers basic rooms with a TV and free Wi-Fi access. Iceland’s Ring Road/Route 1 is right next to the hostel.

Akureyri Golf Club is 5 km from the hostel. Hlidarfjall Ski Centre is within 10 minutes’ drive. Discounts are available for guests with certain restaurants and activities such as whale watching. 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.

Ósar Hostel

Vatnsnes

Facing the beachfront in Vatnsnes, Ósar Hostel has a shared lounge and a bar. The hostel offers both free WiFi and free private parking.

Guest rooms at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. All guest rooms at Ósar Hostel come with a shared bathroom and bed linen. This beautiful old guesthouse exceeded our expectations a lot. It is rebuilt from an old milk farm and has a lot of maze-looking cozy spaces, rooms and levels - each with hidden gems, from ancient family relics to comfortable resting areas. Nice wooden room was more spacious than the property photos show, and the sea view was a pure pleasure. Everything is very clean and has home-like spirit in it. The owner is very kind, he told us about the house and also gave several valuable hints which allowed us to see the seals in the nearby area. Very romantic place to stay!
