Located right on the man street with most of the town's attractions and fantastic restaurants and cafes within very easy walking distance. The bar and restaurant downstairs are cosy and serves good food.

Friendly staff - free beverage voucher with check in was a pleasant surprise. Very clean and cozy hostel!

Very big and nice room, in the center of town, friendly atmosphere

Looks just like the pictures. Very comfortable with wonderful staff. Location was superb.

For a hostel they offer many facilities. They have their own restaurant with good food, a happy hour for local beers. They even have a sauna. They are happy to help with any questions you might have about the area you are in. Very friendly staff. A good place to meet new people. Would recommend and return when i am in Iceland.
