Lava hostel has excellent staff! the young man who checked us in waited until we arrived before he left so that we could check in easier. The beds were very comfortable and the facilities were clean and easy to use. The rooms were quite spacious and the hostel had a quiet rule after 11pm I believe, which made it very easy to fall asleep and everyone staying there was very considerate of others. We would have stayed here for another night if we didn't have other plans.

Die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft der Mädels 🙃👍🏻

Claudia, Germany

Une adresse moyenne. Pratique pour le début et la fin du voyage si vous cherchez un prix assez bas (critère islandais).

Olivier, France

Вот вообще ничего. Если кемпинг, то вполне сойдёт, а комнаты ужас. Только если вы студент и путешествуете по бедному, то вам сюда.

Une auberge de jeunesse très propre, avec des équipements suffisant (douche, cuisine petite mais fonctionnelle) En cas d'arrivée tardive, les clés à disposition dans la Key box

Anadgh, France

В целом комфортный хостел, можно готовить еду, чистые общие зоны

Da wir nach der Zeit kamen, haben sie uns einen Schlüssel hinterlegt, hat super geklappt. Sehr sauber und schön, bequeme Betten. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, nicht weit von der Hauptstadt, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe.
