Dalvík Hostel Gimli

Dalvík

Situated in the centre of Dalvík, across from the harbour, this family-run hostel is 45 km from Akureyri. It offers free Wi-Fi, a communal kitchen and individually decorated rooms.

The simple, yet modern rooms at Dalvík Hostel Gimli all have a wardrobe and access to shared bathroom facilities. 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.
