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. I liked the spacious bedroom. I enjoyed the big outside area. I found the kitchen and common areas big but cozy.

Located in Dalvík, 44 km from Hof - Cultural Center and Conference Hall, Dalvík Hostel Gimli provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and barbecue facilities. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests. Bjarni was an excellent host. He went out of his way to help and made us feel very welcome and this definitely added an extra element to our trip. We were in Dalvik to ski tour and the hostel was perfectly situated for that purpose. It was within walking distance from the supermarket and the excellent Cafe Gisli. The other people in the hostel were also great and we got to know them all quite well during the week. Dalvik is just beautiful and getting up in the morning and going into the kitchen and being greeted with an incredible view across the Fjord was something else! We will definitely be back.
