Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Dalvik Hostel Gimli was way beyond our expectation. Placed in a lovely quaint town with a beautiful view of the sun set over the marina.. it was very cosy and comfortable especially for the kids. Our host was very accommodating as we were on the road for a while and although we reached late he was there to welcome us and show us around. Thanks.

    The location is perfect to prepare for the trip to Grimsey. The room is clean. Shower is hot. The bed is comfy. This is typical Iceland. The decoration is a bit quirky with a lot of vintage stuff. Everything is more than a budget hostel.
