Very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was of good size.

Stayed in September 2025

Room was quite bare and with limited natural light, and smelled a little of damp. We were only there for one night, so not the end of the world - but think ventilation needs to be addressed

Cheap and cheerful hostel with good kitchen facilities and lovely cafe/bar, and staff were pleasant. Great location for the TREX bus to the start of the Laugavegur Trail (the bus stops right outside the hostel). For an additional fee, you also have the option of leaving bags in a secure room at the hostel whilst you're checked out and off to do multi-day long activities.

Rooms need updating….at least paint. On the other hand, the prices are very budget friendly. It appears currently being renovated

Breakfast was continental. Very good value, fresh.

What a great hostel, its a bit on the edge of Reykjavík, but that was fine for us, we wanted somewhere near to the municipal pools (which were next door) and not too far from places to eat and with good connections to the coach terminal so we could get home. I was amazed at how quiet it was at night, we weren't disturbed at all, which I was not expecting considering it was a hostel with predominantly guests in their 20s (although there were a sprinkling of olde visitors). Its really clean, with a nice friendly buzz, brilliant, helpful staff. I couldn't recommend it more highly, a great place for anyone staying in Iceland on a budget.

Very busy hostel especially with the adjacent campsite. Facilities heavily used. Limited food options Some concerns about security as easy to access for non residents. Lockers not big enough for my holdall and I worried about leaving it in short term left luggage room. Slept in top bunk. Very high and wobbly

Cheap by comparison to other options Self check in Drop off by flybus to airport

I didn’t like having to share a room but that’s why the price was way cheaper than normal so it was just a trade off. I was lucky to get a sociable group from Peru, Sudan and France.

The property was ideally located along the main road. It was therefore easy to get public transport. The fly2bus were always willing to drop you off at the hotel due to its close proximity to their terminus. Everything was organised and the bathrooms were always clean. Staff were also always willing to assist. Finally, the price was good value for money.

Dalur Hi Hostel in Iceland was my first time staying in a hostel, and it completely exceeded my expectations! The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming—I’m especially grateful to Dimitra Kaplan at the front desk for her patience and kindness. She went out of her way to help me with practical issues, making my 9-day trip to Iceland smooth and truly enjoyable. Thanks to the whole team for such a wonderful experience—I couldn’t have asked for a better stay...
