Lovely owners. Must have experience to sleep in capsules. Feels like a clone trooper. :)

Tandou Iceland

the room has privacy and block some noise from outside. I slept good.

Celine United States of America

The facilities were clean, the owner was so nice and helpful to talk to, the location is amazing, so easy to find, friendly people,

Brittney United States of America

Pods had TVs with Chromecast. And the pods were really cool. My favorite two parts were the location (we were close to a lot of things and ended up having a lot of fun without needing to drive much) and also the fact that they had a pool table! They had some other board games too and a nice comfy lounge to play in.

Ashley United States of America

Interesting experience with the capsules. Also the hostel is on the main street so you are literally in the centre among many restaurants and pubs.

Michaler Czech Republic

This is a great place to stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful. The location can't be beat.

Myhanh United States of America

A number of toilets and they were very clean and nice, each with a good shower. Good common areas and fridge. The location is obviously as good as it gets.

Ingvar Iceland

Very nice owners, exceptional place, really quite comfortable and well thought out - great value for money

Richard Germany

Very welcoming staff and facilities. It was an experience staying at the capsule hostel with my 9 year old son. He absolutely loved it! I highly recommend it for people travelling with children and want to try something that the children will remember.

Arnardóttir Iceland

It's cheaper than your average accommodation in Iceland. Clean bathroom, comfortable bed, nice common area full of board games, pool table etc. Good location and plenty of food options around. Bring slippers unless you are comfortable walking barefoot! Perfect for sound sleepers!
