to get started.

The staff were so friendly, great location, decent buffet breakfast and really comfortable beds! It was a huge hostel but it still had a good vibe and culture. I would definitely stay again if I was in Iceland :)

Brittany, Canada

Taylor, United States of America

Marieta, United States of America

The bar and restaurant were very social and fun. The food was good and the people were generally nice. It was a great location to walk around down town .

Amanda, United States of America

First, the location cannot be beat! If you are looking a centrally located place to stay that is ALSO cheap (in price but not in quality), you MUST stay here. The staff was very friendly The breakfast was delicious Super short walking distance to lots of things Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms Common area was very social and comfortable A great place for solo travelers to meet friends

Raleigh, United States of America

Great location, great atmosphere! The staff was particularly helpful to me when I lost my currency card in the hostel the morning of my departing flight. Thank you to the staff here for being so kind to a stranger 3000+ miles from home!

Melissa, United States of America

We had the double plus room, which was beautiful. View was amazing. Cool lounge area and restaurant.

Laura, Netherlands

They always honor my request for a room with a view, late check-out, they hold bags for free. Comfy bedding. Clean bathrooms (but bring rubber slippers). Blackout curtains. Large lockers. Excellent restaurant and good beer selection.

Narikonyc, United States of America

It was a fairly priced bed, in a clean facility, with a lively night-time bar scene.

Marybeth, Italy

The place has a super cool design and a very hip and modern feeling. I loved the aesthetic and the eclectic pieces in the common areas. I think this is a good place to stay if you really want to be social and meet lots of people. Nice view of the water from our bedroom window.
