Galaxy Pod Hostel
Laugavegur 170, 105 Reykjavík, Iceland – Great location - show map
The idea of the pods is amazing, they give you almost the privacy of a private bedroom (except noise-wise), but at the price of a dorm bed. Staff was kind. Price was great. I appreciate they sell some snacks, so you don't have to go out if you are just a bit hungry and have no food. Ok location. The reception has nice couches and a great view.
