comfortable and relaxing place to stay. Made for an easy and efficient place to stop while driving the Ring Road.

Lindsay United States of America

Great location! Worked well as a 1 night stopover during our drive around the ring road.

Michal United States of America

The hostel is very warm and cozy, the bar and common areas are really beautiful. Everything is very clean too. Staff was very nice. I wish we'd stayed more than one night! :)

Lydia Greece

Great atmosphere, facilities and furniture very cosy. The happy hour was amazing, the kanteen too. Very very good craft beers. Super good common areas, great chilling.

Paolo Italy

The hostel had a fun vibe to it. Theres a bar but they close at 8 so we went to a local taproom that was so much fun. The staff was so nice and hospitable. Some musical instruments to play really added fun to the stay.

Jacob United States of America

The owner is so kind and friendly. The guesthouse is comfortable and clean. I love the bar and the shows. Also, he told us that the aurora boreal was outisde. Thank you for that 😊

Franco United States of America

It was just awesome. No complaints, cool Hostel, comfy and clean.

Fabian Switzerland

Big rooms, many beds. Clean. The power went out for a short period of time in the morning, but other than that it was wonderful. There is a bar area connected to the hostel.

Kyle Germany

This is a hostel not an hotel and is a quality stay for what it is. The room was basic but clean and comfortable. Showers and toilets were close to the rooms and were sufficient in number. The kitchen was was good too. Happy hour from 3 til 7 a bonus.

Christopher United Kingdom

Location was great! Had a fun mix of social areas and homey-feel spaces. With we had more time to enjoy the social areas on our trip. Gentleman at checkin was extremely nice and accommodating.
