No hot water for shower. I didn't like that.

There are 2 shared bathrooms with showers. The dorm room got so hot at night. There should be a limit on how high heater can be in a shared room in winter. Also that door needs fixing, a little hard to open and noisy when you're trying to be quiet.

Great stop for a nights stay. Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming. There is a kitchen and laundry, huge lounge area. We were in an 8 bed dorm, generally people woke up early to make the most of the day and were respectful enough. Power points and light by each bed.

My room is located next to the kitchen which got some smell from cooking and a little bit noisy at times.

Friendly staff, great location, clean and affordable. Wise choice to stay.

I wish the bathrooms were not too close to the kitchen area, or at least they should put a door to between the kitchen and where sinks are. It will give some privacy to bathroom users as well as the people who are eating in the kitchen in the same time. The rooms are dorm rooms and all opening up to the kitchen. It gets very crowded in the morning.

Wonderful ambiance all over with the wall arts. There is a big theater/concert area inside. Individuals sitting areas are cute. Very nice/kind receptionist. The room is okay and clean. I saw that they put an effort to cleaning well. They sell beers this is a huge plus.

great atmosphere, owner treated us on a nice performance, funny and beautiful songs

Stayed in August 2022

Room got a lot of noise from the kitchen and the main entrance, walls and door a bit thin.

Beautiful area, cool concept of having a community center + hostel (though there were no events when we were there). Bathrooms very clean, kitchen well equipped and clean as well. Loved the big "living room" (which was actually the event space/bar), though you won't need it with the beautiful nature around.

There are no spaces to store luggages personal belongings if not in the room. That can be improved.

They should update their Booking.com information because: 1. My confirmation stated "Start your day with breakfast for $11 per guest, per night.". However there was no option for breakfast. I even heard another guest ask a staff member about this and they were told there's no breakfast there. 2. We booked the Family Room (1 full bed, 1 bunk bed) and although the whole room was booked to ourselves we were still anxious that maybe someone else was supposed to stay in our room because it wasn't entirely clear on the Booking confirmation. Since it is a hostel it can be confusing if booking the room means booking the entire room to yourself or not, so I think that should be made more clear to customers on Booking.com just for peace of mind. 3. People booking might not be comfortable with the fact that you can only lock your room from the inside. It would be helpful if this was stated when booking. 4. Our confirmation stated check in from 4:00PM-10:00PM but we weren't aware that this meant there was no staff available after 10PM as well. We wanted to rent towels after 10:00PM but couldn't because there was no staff onsite. Also there's signs in the bathroom that state you shouldn't use the hand dryers after 10PM (or maybe it was 11PM?) because they are very loud. That's fine but instead of providing paper towels they put out one singular hand towel for all guests to use (ew). There weren't even paper towels in the kitchen area. 5. Although the room I booked is called "Family Room" I don't think this hostel would be the best environment for a family with young children due to the quiet hours, shared bathrooms, lack of paper towels, no access to staff after 10PM, and general adult vibe of the place (bar in lounge area, decor, adult humor WiFi password, etc.).

Lounge space was very cozy and the decor was very cool. Convenient parking. Beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. It was quiet after 10PM and all guests respected that by speaking softly, not slamming doors, etc.

The doorknob to the room I stayed in needs fixing, I thought it was locked, it takes so much strength to open (more than I have) and if someone else had not come out to use the toilet at night, thus opening the door... I might've ended up sleeping outside.

The beds were already made which is a bonus for hostels. Huge bar/lounge area with lots of character, and many couches. Vending machine for snacks which I didn't try but looks cute. Well-equipped kitchen. Hot shower. Free earplugs. Good value.

Very big living room, we saw a concert (as a guest it is for free)

This review is hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

The cultural aspect of this guesthouse and the mood it brings are just fantastic. A must to go if you're doing the Snæfell region. Coffees and beers at very reasonable price for Iceland. They give you ticket for the swimming pool because time to time the shower can be crowded.

Noise and clean in bathroom

Hostel with facilities (plays, bar…), friendly and decorate really great

Stayed in June 2022

I've seen only 2 showers and 2 toilets which is really not much when the place is fully booked.

I loved the atmosphere from the old fishing factory and the style.

I think a really beneficial addition would be for more hooks to hang things in the rooms, and a rug in each room to help trap some sand and keep the rooms cleaner easier.

I have stayed at the freezer on each of my three trips to Iceland. Always pleasant staff, very welcoming, casual at home feel.

noisy, no ventilation in room

plenty of space for hanging around, friendly staff

Bathroom and toilet facilities are quite limited and their layout is also inconvenient. However, this is not a big issue as long as the number of guests is small.

Almost everything was fine here. The bed was comfy, the WiFi worked well, the staff was friendly. Everything was clean and tidy. It was very easy to find the hostel. All in all, very good value for money in this part of the country.

Rooms are directly adjacent to kitchen and bathrooms, which may affect your sleep if the other guests are not considerate

Very friendly and helpful staff, well equipped kitchen, great common area, only a short drive to lots of sights in the area
