Hafnarstræti Hostel - Akureyri

JulienRose

È la prima volta che alloggio in un capsule hotel.|È stata un esperienza positiva e grazie alle istruzioni all'ingresso della struttura, complete di ogni passaggio, siamo riusciti ad effettuare il check-in facilmente. |Le aree comuni erano puliti ed accoglienti. La cucina era ampia.|Come lato negativo ho riscontrato un paio di cose: una ricarica usb molto lenta (migliorabile) e l'aria condizionata molto forte (ma era possibile regolarla... me ne sono accorta troppo tardi, al mattino).|Inoltre il monitor all'interno della nostra capsula non era collegabile a Google Chrome e non abbiamo capito come mai.|Tutto sommato mi sono trovata bene e lo consiglierei senz'altro come esperienza da fare una volta nella vita.

Centraal in de stad nabij winkels en restaurants. Schoon, ruime opgezet. Bijzondere ervaring en leuk voor 1 nacht. Slapen in een capsule. Alles bij de hand,; een bed, tv, sfeerverlichting en alle denkbare aansluitingen. In het begin claustrofobisch, maar t went. Echt waar : t went.

Voldoende en nette badkamers l, ruime eetkamer en keuken aanwezig

Minpunt , matig matras en kan gehorig zijn

In my opinion, this hostel has no soul, since I haven’t seen any permanent people working there. I am used to hostels or campings where there is some degree of self service and an employee is present in the morning and in the afternoon or early evening, but every contact here seems to be digital or remote. Every now and some “fix persons” come by to fix things, like cleaning or making the beds/pods.
It appears to me that the owners are hiding themselves behind camera surveillance, and an email account.
Towels were not included and must be rent. The sleeping pods look fancy but opening and closing them makes a lot of noise. Still you can hear other people snore or make other weird noises. They are not sound proof!

In the morning when you don’t check out you can’t sleep a bit longer but you will be waked up early either by noisy guests leaving their pods or cleaning staff who shout outside the pods and aren’t aware that some people still try to sleep.

The toilets are located in the same rooms as the showers, meaning that you can’t go the toilet if multiple showers are in use… there are more bathrooms present but they were locked, limiting the possibilities to have a shower or go to the toilet. If you have a small blatter or are incontinent this must be a very anxious experience.

In the kitchen there was this uncomfortable disgusting smell the whole time. I thought some food was rotting or left in the sink, but I think it’s coming from the sulphuric water that comes out of the tap. This is the same water people use to boil water for tea, to cook in and do their dishes with…

Hafnarstraeti hostel seems to me -despite the good looks and the good efforts- not familiar with hospitality in Europe in general and Iceland in particular. I think they just see this hostel as cash cow they invested in to make money of tourists. I have been to several hostels in Iceland and abroad so I have several experiences to compare it with.

Please book another accommodation if you can, even if it costs you a little bit more: it will be worth it. Otherwise you might regret it. Only when you’re really desperate and you don’t bother if you get enough sleep, I can imagine one would voluntarily want to spend a night here… For me this was once but no more. But I do hope the people are willing to learn and improve. I’m not the only one with this experience according to the other reviews.

Um solche cool aussehenden Kapseln einmal im Leben für eine Nacht auszuprobieren hat es schon gepasst. Eine ruhige bequeme Nacht bekommt man hier jedoch nicht.
3 Sterne gönne ich für die Sauberkeit und das Aussehen.

(für Leute über 1,85 cm nicht zu empfehlen)

Great place for a night. Kitchen, Toilets and common places were very clean. The location is perfect. If I might say something wrong, it would be the key of the capsule did not work pretty well..it made me a bit nervous:)

In den Kapseln fühlt man sich wie in einem Raumschiff, jedoch sind sie sehr hellhörig und nicht all zu bequem. Man merkt, dass es günstige Chinaware ist, aber für eine Nacht und eine neue Erfahrung optimal. Für größere Menschen (>1,85m) könnte es etwas eng werden. Wenn man sich aneinander kuschelt würde man auch zu zweit reinpassen.
Abseits der Kapseln ist der Rest des Hostels sehr sauber und ansprechend. Es liegt mitten in der Stadt, aber die Parkplätze in der Nähe sind nur von 10Uhr bis 16Uhr kostenlos. Also am besten Check-in nach 16Uhr und Check-out vor 10Uhr.

Ostello non bem identificabile dall'esterno (è sopra a dei negozi e si entra dalla galleria commerciale).||Dormire nelle capsule è sicuramente un'esperienza x gandi e piccoli.|Peccato le ventole areazione interna siano molto rumorose, e che le capsule non siano insonorizzate.||Per il resto ostello offre dei bagni puliti e moderni, una cucina professionale (con lavastoviglie industriale comodissima!) , ampia zona comune molto accogliente ed una mini area gioco con biliardo e scacchi.||Da migliorare : la pulizia della cucina ed area comune, mettere degli armadietti con combinazione dove ogni capsula può mettere i propri bagagli (per ora c'è un locale per depositarli ma libero accesso x gli ospiti con qualche piccolo armadietto che necessita però di lucchetto personale)
