Þrúdvangur 32,34,37, 850 Hella, Iceland –

We didn’t like like anything as we had booked a holiday apartment with private bathroom and we ended up with two hostel rooms and shared facilities.

Alexander, Australia

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, Ireland

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

Uckz, Hungary

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, Italy

Nothing - one of the worst hotel experiences ever! Accommodation was dirty and we could not find anyone in the hotel to contact us - there was no one at reception. Awful experience - don't stay there!

Maria, United States of America

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

Samantha, Belgium

Clean hostel. Good price/quality for Iceland. Clean rooms. Easy "code" check-in system. Daily cleaning. We received during our stay new fresh and clean towels.

Peter, Belgium

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

Decent space in family room 103. Private and quiet. Nice shared kitchen facilities. Modern furnishings and clean. Beautiful setting next to the river. Walking distance to shops.

We didn’t like the fact they had misrepresented what we were getting. Instead of a holiday apartment with private bathroom we ended up with two hostel rooms which were some distance apart and shared facilities. We didn’t like that the owner could not be contacted at the time of checkin to complain about the deceitful way our booking was handled by Welcome Riverside Guesthouse.

A bit of a downside was, that there is no personnel. When we arrived, the room was not heated and the whole building was colder (except bathroom), since we were alone in it. It took some time to warm up, but no big issue :-)
There are no keys for the rooms just a code, which you have to input every time you enter the room (even when going to the bathroom at night). It is convenient.

“Cheap but very basic accommodation”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Economy Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night

Only 2 showers for all the rooms (one male, one female), it's a bit tight for so many bedrooms. Not possible to hang your towel or clothes inside the bathrooms so that created awkward moments with other guests. The toilet is so small, you have to squeeze yourself against the wall to close the door. No cooking essentials in the kitchen (not even a bit of salt...). The self check-in could be a good idea if there was an actual information of where the things/rooms are. We had to play caretakers for the other guests (and are not paid to do so ;-)) and answer many questions, show around and such as everyone is very much lost on arrival (bathrooms were a bit hidden). There is nowhere to leave the shoes (or sign to do so) and the floor thus become sandy and dirty super fast as guests just kept their shoes on. 2 hooks (to hang the wet towels) and a small bedside table would have come in very handy in the bedrooms. Both our bedsheet had holes in them (but were clean!).
Basic, clean accommodation with a big kitchen. The bedrooms are extremely basic (2 beds, a small sink and a very narrow wardrobe enough to hang your coats) but clean. Cheap accommodation (at least in winter) for Iceland.

The place could be cleaner. It is nice and new but it seems nobody takes care of it. We were lucky and dind't have any troubles with the bathroom, but keep in mind that there is just one shower and one toilet per gender.
You are free to enter and go, there is no one waiting for you. The whole building is new and has almost everything you could need. Easy to park just in front and quite near to the main road so no need to enter in a city.

The parking wasn't really good, there is a parking lot in front of the hostel but there were big frozen snow and ice chunks and we rather just parked on the side of the road instead of risking damage to the car

didn't like the staff, very rude, bad attitude, we had 7 people and used booking.com, but the property only provided 6 beds, and they couldn't do anything to help. self check in process was not smooth, the combination lock on door is not easy to open, have to try many times. furniture is very basic but it's OK. bath shower is shared.
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,
