The room was quiet big. The only advantage was the private bathroom but the room was a bit disapointing

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.

For being the cheapest option when booking a hostel, it was fine.

Everything is neat and tidy. The staffs are so nice and I love the idea of leaving unneeded food to others.

It’s a standard hostel. Good price for Reykjavík. Located about a 40 min walk from the center (7 min drive). Bed was comfortable. Parking was easy.

Great distance from downtown Reykjavik provided you have a car. However I’m 6’5” and I fit fairly well (length wise) in bed which was a nice surprise. If you’re just looking for a place to rest your head then most definitely choose this spot.

Renne

United States of America

It’s a 40 minute walk from the city center. Ideal for solo travellers. There’s a kitchen out back and they supply plenty of board games. Big common area to sit around. They have a notice board in the lobby with events in the hostel and city center. Room was a nice size, warm and each bed has its own light and plug.

A staff member was uncollaborative. Literally sighed at my face at a request. Place has few toilets. Rooms are too small for so many beds. The 'hostel community' atmosphere was quite off, you feel like it's a place where to stop, sleep and leave, rather than having an experience.
The place is fairly close to city center. Nice design, cozy, main things are provided. Some staff were really helpful

“Uncomfortable access to kitchen and rooms, installations are o.k but not very nice, good laundry se”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
They don´t deliver towels There is noUSB connections Breakfast really expensive Very uncomfortable to access to the kitchen and rooms: you always have to use the card 2 or 3 times to cook and it is really a barrier when you have bags and everything in both hands. During the breaksfats you can not access normally to the exit or kitchen, you have to surround the building to not enter in the dinning room if you have not paid the breakfast. This is not fair for the guests, you should put a kitchen in each corridor or the dinning room apart
Free parking and outside installations Laundry service very good and cheap

I stayed here for a week. The ballet of doors and the theatre of beffudled guests was a daily spectacle. Not an enjoyable one. Apparently management is trying to keep the grounds from being overrun by all the neighbouring campers... And decided the best way to do it is by torturing their own guests... If you're just coming for a night to get some zzzs before moving elsewhere, come, it's cheap, comfy, green and you probably wont be affected too much by these annoyances. A more prolongued stay will definitely test your patience.
Hate to give this place a less than warm review... Great surroundings, smart, cosy and well designed spaces, decent enough rooms for one of the cheapest prices available, but all this is ruined by an over-zealous high-security that forces guests to be constanly battling locks and circling through the entire perimeter again and again, often just to get back to where they were seconds ago, before the door closed behind them and left them without a way back in.
