It’s clean and room is relatively big. The price is reasonable and has high quality.

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

Marianne

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.

Cassidy

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.

Close to really great public pool and hot dog stand.

Rodrigo, the staff member at Loft hostel was amazing, super helpful and friendly! ☆☆☆☆☆

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.

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!

Its quite far away from the city center. We didn’t care because we needed to be near the camping, but for someone who is just staying around it can be pretty far.
Room was comfortable & showers and WC very clean. Staff was really nice with us. We used the washing machine & luggage room, perfect.

In a busy city hostel I was expecting some noise, but the heavy doors that could not be closed quietly (because of the way the locks worked) slammed throughout the night and echoed down the corridor. Rooms away from the ground floor may be nicer!

The 6-bed room is too small and not worth it (compared to the 4-bed option)
The 4-bed room was very good (private WC is very welcomed) Breakfast is worth it It's secure with many card-scanners throughout the halls 15-min walk from the center, in a very peaceful zone

The location is good if you plan to join tours as they pick you up at hostel(campsite). It’s also easy to get to city center either by bus or about 20-30mins walk. The room is clean and the bed is comfy. I stayed in 4 beds room for 4 night and it was good.
