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

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

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.

No problem with super late arrival. Nice room. Great curtains, which blocked out the never setting sun well (no other place in Iceland we stayed had that).

“Very rude host”

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.

The kitchen was very well equiped, everything was impecably clean and the rooms were very cosy and pretty! I also apreciated that there was a sink in the room since the bathrooms are shared. The price is very fair!

Excellent

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.

We booked an apartment for 4 persons. We have the address but we cannot find the location as it is not the sides of other buildings. It is better to provide a map showing where the apartment is. So that we do not need to waste half hour to find where it is in the dark.
Bed is comfortable

The bathroom is out of date and not very clean. The lock on the toilet door was broken and therefore difficult to use.
Location was good, near a supermarket. Room was small but clean. There was a small sink in the bedroom which was very handy. Kitchen has microwaves and other amenities. Room opens with a code which we were sent beforehand.

Spacious kitchen with full kitchenware. Hot water is provided at all time (don't even need to boil it yourself)

If you don’t have a car then it’s a little far from the bus station. There was only one shower for at least 10 rooms in a building and the one in our building was broken. We were staying there for two days (not in a row) and on the second one when we checked in with all the right details there was someone else in the room. We tried to call the staff from all the numbers they left but got no answer at all for at least an hour. Then a staff member came and while being very rude just took us to another room and didn’t say a thing. Later we heard from other guests who had problems with checking in too
The place itself was fine, self check in and pretty clean. Also very cheap
