    The place is very warm and cozy. Great facilities for cooking. Lots of showers with body gel and shampoo. Shared facilities were spotless and everything was working perfectly. Kitchen was fully equipped and for many people with free coffee and tea...

    We stayed at the hostel part, and it was by far the best hostel experience I ever had! Of course, I have never paid this much for a hostel bed anywhere else either, but oh well, that's Iceland :) It was very clean, quiet, very well equipped...
