Bathrooms were alwys clean but... More

Very clean and well kept, friendly staff. There's a kitchen and a fridge for 4th room guests only, but we were told by the staff that you can still use them if they are not packed, which we did! A bit of a complain for the bed, they were very, very noisy. They criecked everytime someone breathed! Apart from that,... More

Best thing about this place was the location. There are hotels close by that are around 4-5 times the cost of this place and although this is a hostel and not a hotel the difference in price is worth it. We go for the music festival Iceland Airwaves and if you are also going to this and like to socialise... More

Excellent place & wanted to spread the word. Was recently in Reykjavik w/my two best friends. While we did not stay here, we did utilize their front desk staff in setting up excursions we took in Iceland while there. Staff was EXTREMELY knowledgeable & helpful. They even called Flybus For us to set up our pick-ups to the main airport... More

I stayed there for two nights in March 2013. I stayed in an eight beds dorm and the room was really nice and clean. The location is perfect, just in the middle of everything! The bar is cool and cosy and the stuff is so friendly! Totally gonna stay there again!

This hostel is in the best location, right on the main street with plenty of great bars and restaurants surrounding it. The new bunk bar is so cool and offered great discounts for guests. Rooms looked brand new and everything was super clean. Staff helped us out with anything we needed, even offered us part of their snacks when we... More

Pros: - great location, right in the centre of town near shops, cafes etc. - there is a proper kitchen which saves a lot of money in Iceland where it is expensive to eat out - generally friendly staff - they helped organise tours (although all hotels/hostels in iceland seem to do this) Cons: - the bathrooms in the fourth...

This hostel is in a superb location, it couldn't get any more central, and is decent value for money and the staff are friendly and helpful. However, when we visited (for a couple of nights from 28th Feb) they were doing up the reception area which meant the layout was really disjointed and you had to go outside to get... More
