Great hostel in the city. About 10 min by bus to major bus center (Hlemmur). Bus stop is right outside. Very easy to get to and from downtown and back. Quiet part of city w a grocery nearby. Excellent staff, clean showers and bathrooms.

The place was chill and beds were confortable, however they don't let you check in until 3pm, I had no sleept in 28 hours, got there at 11am and needed to wait until 3pm which is ridiculous, I've never seen a hostel that administration closes during the day so that sucked. It was okay but wouldn't stay again to be honest

“Great location outside city center”

Cleanliness is just okay.
Although the location is 30-40 minutes walk to the city center, it was still great since it is very close to the bus stop, a restaurant, hotdog stand and public pool. This is included in airport and tour pick up locations so it was very convenient. I like that there is a locker (you need to bring your own lock) that would mostly fit a regular sized backpack which is good enough for valuables. There's also light and outlet for each bed. Heater is working very well as I had some clothes that needed to dry for the next day.

I stayed for four nights and had to move rooms between the first and second night. This was a little bit annoying but it was handled well by the staff. They gave me a free breakfast as compensation, which was quite nice. It was ok as it was free, but I wouldn't have paid for it as it cost 1,500 króna (£10) for essentially some pieces of toast with cheese and ham.
The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly when giving recommendations on booking extra tours to visit different parts of the island. The rooms I stayed in were as expected for a hostel, and there were plenty of communal spaces downstairs to chill out. The location was quite convenient as buses run into the city from just outside the building, and there is also a pick-up point for many major tour operators at this bus stop.

I liked everything. The only this is that it’s a bit far from city center (30-35 minutes walking), but as I like to walk, it was not too bad :) Again: if I come back go Reykjavic I’ll definitely go to City Hi Hostel again. Thanks for everything!
I liked everything in the hostel. Room was very clean, the hostel is very big, with a huge garden, lots of activities... If I come back go Reykjavic I’ll definktely go to City Hi Hostel again.
