Hi Siebert.
I think most people are staying here and there in town. At friends places or in union rental flats. But maybe some people are staying at Akureyri Backpackers. It’s a really nice hostel right downtown. Haven’t stayed there but the burgers and the beer is great.
If you have a hard time finding a lift, this is also an alternative.
