    It has a good location, you can walk from the BSI station. It is about 15 minutes. Facilites are okay. I stayed for one night.

    There should be a second kitchen sink for the many people staying there. The white man staff is friendly but the asian staff could smile more. They are all helpful though. There is no lamp at each bed.

    They provide soap, towels, tea and coffee for free. Many food items left by other travelers to share. Beds are comfortable. There is a huge bathroom with a shower on the 4th floor. There are many other washrooms and shower rooms on either floor. Location is fantastic. Only 15 min walk from BSI bus terminal or to the waterfront. There are 2 supermarkets within 20 min walking distance. One could see northern lights from the waterfront in late August!!

    This is the best hostel in Reykjavik and maybe in the whole of Iceland. Lot of (free) facilities, cheap, good location, clean, nice atmosphere and very kind owners. Highly recommended.

    The hostel is close to the city center and for Reykjavik the price is very attractive. Towel is in the price, which is always good. No key for the room, you get the code to open the door.

    It would be nice to have lockers in the room. There is enough space for them. They only have small safety deposit boxes.

    Great hostel, 10 minute walk to the city center and 11 minute walk from BSI bus terminal. Nice big kitchen for cooking with a view, has everything you need.

    The kitchen is quite dirty, it would be great if it would be cleaned and organised more often. The jalousie in the room were broken, so you could not properly closed them. There could be bed lamps. I wanted to ask something at the reception a few times and almost never had the chance as the reception was mostly empty.

    The location is amazing, it is reachable by the public transportation and walkable distance to the city centre. The bed is comfortable. Showers clean and spacious.

    Bunk beds didn’t have rails in the back, my pillow fell several times during the night

    Location is great, close to the Hallgrimskirkja church and easy access to the flybus shuttles The rooms have everything you need for a hostel, clean and warm beds. The bathrooms were good, relatively clean and I liked that there are hairdryers

    Power, cleanliness of bathrooms, lack of management

    Stand light did not work. Power outlet in room 309 blew out. We could only charge in the group kitchen which was in high demand. Management was pretty much non existent except for like 4pm whrn check in timr was & then he was too busy. Id go again if the thermal spa next door was open. It wS closed for renovations.

    I can't see me hosteling again, I really need my own room I think, but that was way outside my budget!

    First ever stay at a hostel, so if you're reading this please take this into account. The room was fairly spacious for 8 ppl. The bed was comfy and there were no problems checking in or out. The common areas were well maintained and clean.

    bathrooms are dirty, when you shower you do not have a handle for towels and your clothes we were 5 people and they cannot put us in one room, even if we had an extra bunk bed in 4 people rooms

    location and parking, you walk at the famous protestant church 5mins, everything is walking distance

    Very close to Reykjavík centre, easy to walk to from the BSI bus terminal. The common room had plenty of cutlery, plates, bowls, cups and glasses, plenty of food had been left ‘to share’ and there’s free tea and coffee! Microwave, oven even an air fryer to use too! Towel provided and the showers were lovely and hot. Never needed to queue or wait to use the bathrooms either. Lovely view of Hallgrimskirkja from the dorm window. Beds form but comfortable and very clean, white bedding. Code lock on the dorm door so felt safe and secure as a solo female traveller. Superfast, free WiFi too was great and loads of sockets right by each bed.
