“Friendly staff, nice little cafe and quiet bar with some good beers, super cheap, and the beds were really comfortable with amazing comforters! Right on the bay, most tour groups pickup out front, 20 minute walk to Laugavegur, Harpa, Hallgrimskirkja, and the harbor. I don't think you can beat it for the price, would recommend it to anyone. ”

“very clean bathroom and there are separated ones for girls and guys. Helpful and nice staff. Good location and big public area. Near north light center. Good price in expensive iceland. There are food shops and supermarket nearby! ”

“Oddson provides a relative cheap option to stay within the center of Reykjavik. The hotel has a surprising amount of rooms. The kitchen is well-equiped. A hot tub on the room is pretty cool, although we didn't actually used it. Room and bathroom facility were basic, but perfectly fine. The ground-floor lounge is pretty coom but (unfortunately) a bit empty. From the hotel, it's an easy way to the center including some nice urban siteseeing.”

“Very large and well-equipped kitchen/common area in the hostel, with its own on-site hot tub (very popular amongst guests - expect it to be crowded). Great view of the waterfront. 20 min walk to downtown. Common pick-up location for most tour companies.”

“-clean bathrooms -super helpful staff -large open kitchen and common areas -loved the outdoor terrace & hot tub area -large dorm room -outlets at each bunk -yoga room (I didn't end up using it, but I love the idea!) -it was quiet! -lots of parking available”

“A nice hostel in a great part of Reykjavík. The rooms were clean, and had cabinets that you could lock with your own lock. The beds were comfortable and each room had blackout curtains (useful in the summer months).”

Not easily accessible by city bus. The room was very small and the window didn't close properly so it swas either too hot ir too cold :)
The location overlooking the bay was gorgeous - especially from the top floor. The sraff were friendly and well informed and very helpful with regard to luggage storage, directions and suggestions.

The bathroom was not properly cleaned up, with so many tissues allowed to lie on the floor before being picked up. The kitchen was messy and dirty. Since I am somewhat a clean person, I ended up cleaning up the dirty dishes left in the kitchen sink, most of the time in the entire 8 days of my stay, including sweeping the kitchen floor. The refrigerators were not enough to store the food of the rather messy guests.
The view from my Room 403 was just fantastic.

“Best place in Reykjavic!”

Honestly, anything
It is the best hostel I've ever been! Super clean, very friendly staff and even free Yoga&Meditation sessions. There is a huge kitchen where you can meet new amazing travellers and built long-lasting friendships. Location is just perfect, 10 min walking distance from popular streets and very close to supermarkets. You can see the sea from your bed tho! Highly recommended, Thanks a lot for everything!

When the smoke alarm goes on and on because people forget to open the window before showering Annoying when that happens in the middle of the night and you need your sleep because of a very very early flight
The location nearby the water The view Nice personnel Clean Bit expensive 680 euro voor 4 nights for a room without shower and toliet and booked months in advance But it is a very nice hostel

“Great location, friendly staff, and value for money”
- • Leisure trip

Beds (bedframes) are very old, unstable and very creaky.
About a 10-minute walk to the city center and Harpa Hall, near the ocean. Stunning view in the spacious lounge area at reception. They have a good cafe where they also make soups throughout the day and a bar for drinks in the evening. It can get really hot overnight in the rooms, so thick pajamas aren't the best choice. Bathrooms were clean every time I had to use the facilities or take a shower. Plus in the kitchen area, there is food like bread, spaghetti, sauces etc. left behind by other guests which can come handy if you're hungry late at night or on a budget as everything closes around 5 pm. Overall a nice and comfortable hostel.
