Friendliness of the staff Efficiency of the unit Value for money

Mahesh

We had a pod with a double bed. Much more comfortable than we had expected, very quiet , possibly our best sleep of the trip. The host, Baltur, and his parents were wonderfully helpful. The breakfast, which was included, was delicious, and the group kitchen was well stocked and large to easily accommodate several guests/ groups cooking independently. It was all we needed for a very good price. No elevator, but that was not an issue for us.

The pods were so fun! Super comfortable and had everything inside them! Loved that you could chrome cast onto your own personal tv and had fun lights! The community room was packed with lots of board games and books and even had a pool table! Breakfast was delicious with lots of options for everyone! Owners were so nice!!

The pods were amazing, very comfortable and fans actually worked (at the galaxy pod in Reykjavik they didn’t). Awesome central location, very clean facilities with billiards table, couches, TVs, games and books. Great stay for couples and families for sure. Kitchen and dining room were cute, large and very clean. The owner and employees were super friendly and very informative, definitely made the stay super homey. Would stay here again for sure!

“Great hosts, a good location, and your own space for a good price”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
Many of the bathrooms were closed off - it would have been nice to have opened more of them, to avoid having to wait.
The most welcoming and friendly staff, good location in the very centre, and the breakfast was really nice as well. I was a bit sceptical to the boxes you sleep in, but it is actually very nice to be in a hostel and still have your own space.

I was quite skeptical about sleeping in a capsule but couldn't find anything else for the same price, position, and review score. Eventually, I enjoyed my stay. The capsule itself was comfortable enough. The bathrooms were very clean and fully furnished. In general, the premises were very good and organized. Breakfast included!

It was my first time staying in a capsule, I liked it very much. The hostel is owned by a family which is very friendly, I had some nice interaction with them. Price is very good for icelandic standards and breakfast is alright! Kitchen is well equiped and you can have coffee and tea anytime! Recommended.

I can't think of a single thing that could be better.
Everything was exquisite: location, comfort, cleanliness. The capsules were amazing, plenty of room, sleep mode and full time staff availability for that extra level of security. Breakfast was very good, facilities and common areas large and plenty.
