Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Staff was very accommodating and facilities are mostly kept clean — stayed in a bed in the 42-bed dorm and I didn’t have any problems with the arrangements under the control of staff (of course you have disruptions from other guests coming in and leaving for early morning/late night tours, that’s to be expected). Bring shower shoes and your own soap/toiletry products for the hallway showers and bathrooms. There’s often a “graveyard” of soaps and lotions to use if you forget yours.

Iceland“Very cool decor, good security, big dorms are compartmentalized so they don't feel so big halls. Big lockers available by the beds. Can't ask for better location!”
