Þrúdvangur 32,34,37, 850 Hella, Iceland – Great location - show map

Great location for an over night stop on our way back from the southern coast. Great kitchen facilities and very clean

United States of America

Shared kitchen facilities had great amenities and appliances. Very comfortable bed with nice pillows and duvet. Overall the private room, shared kitchen and shared bathroom/showers were very clean.

Anne

United States of America

Convenient location and very accommodating, with a much appreciated early checkin.

Martin

Canada

The room was spacious and clean. The kitchen facilities were nice and big too. The ladies bathroom was spotless although the men’s looked a little bit worse. Overall excellent value for money. The location is between Selfoss and Vik, a very short drive to either and much better price.

Maria

The rooms were nice and the place is at a quiet place, I did enjoy the showers and they were nice and clean, it smelled nice in the hostel

like the large kitchen and large dining area, although it's shared we were the only group at that time to use it. rooms are clean, hallway is wide and bright,

Jun

United States of America

Great self check-in and check-out procedure.. it allows you to get and to leave there almost whenever you prefer. The kitchen was quite well equipped and the showers were ok. You need to have a car to get here! There is a grocery store close by.

Mario

We had the standard twin room. The beds were comfy and the room was clean. The shared kitchen is nice and well equipped.

Samantha

The gentleman that was readying the shared space was gracious and helpful. Everything was very clean and inviting. I would highly recommend this as a stop for ppl visiting Iceland.

Sarah

United States of America

See above. Loved the code system for checkin, which means you don't have to rush to check in by a certain time, which I didn't. That & its proximity to what I wanted to see were my reasons for choosing it. There's also a Quizzno's nearby for the cheapest daily sub.

“Simple accommodation in a strategic location whatever your itinerary is.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
Heating was not working on the initially allocated room (which in February in Iceland is kind of an issue). I tried to reach them at the phone provided, but nobody answered. I was lucky enough to meet somebody from the guesthouse, who placed us in a different room. The heating was locked at the maximum temperature, which was not ideal either, but better than no heating.

Late check in rules are a bit strict but the staff were flexible and provided a solution for us.
Very comfortable kitchen - lots of facilities to cook (it's a small but "double" kitchen) so lots of people can use it at once. The staff accommodated my special request regarding check in.

The customer service of property was disappointed. The lady who picked up the phone was really unfriendly and impatient. Just kindly asked her to repeat the question one more time, but she was really ruled and yelled to me. I don’t understand how hard to just do it again. Hope no one will need to face this situation.

“Not for more than 1 night”

Almost a mountain of snow and ice in front of the main door, so you have to be super careful to not injure yourself. Room wasn't soundproof so you can hear how people talking, walking back and forth and open doors, especially noise was the door in the dormitory
Big kitchen and comfortable beds, heating, self-check-in

The host was not nice at all, very rude. We thought it was kinda weird that the front door is 24/7 open, so if you go to the toilet late in the night its a little creepy to walk alone in questhouse. And also in the bathroom there is no place for your clothes or towel, if you bring it with you everything will be wet
The bed was very nice

Beds were very uncomfortable. Room was very small and compact. Only one very thin pillow given.
Well kept and had a great shared kitchen. Easy to check in yourself via door codes. Good shared bathroom facilities. Sink in the bedroom.

There is no hanger in the toilet to hang your clothes or your towel. At least put some hanger spot on the wall or on the back door. The same thing at the room.
Easy for check in process. The room comfirtable and just nice for the stay with a single or for a group traveller.

Along with twin beds, my room was equipped with sink, mirror, standing closet and two chairs. It would have been helpful if there was a luggage stand and a small desk/counter top of some kind to go along with the chairs as there were no hard surfaces in the room. When traveling, it's helpful to have luggage off the floor for access and a desk for reading, planning itinerary, etc. instead of sitting on bed or resorting to lingering in public/shared kitchen area.
Shared kitchen facilities had great amenities and appliances. Very comfortable bed with nice pillows and duvet. Overall the private room, shared kitchen and shared bathroom/showers were very clean.
