Guest Reviews
- Daniel (10/5): Good location in Reykjavik - Hostel is conveniently located. Bathrooms were clean. Will point out that the kitchen was a bit messy and didn't see any staff. Make sure to bring shampoo. That is not provided. Overall would recommend
- Cris (8/5): - -
- Urszula (10/5): - The single room was quite large with a large window, clean and comfortable. Furniture very basic.
- Brenna (8/5): - Room was large and very clean. Bed was comfortable. Low frills but good for the price and for a short stay. I didn’t want to use the shower but I saw staff cleaning in the morning
- Jacqueline (10/5): - Hostel B47 was a great place to stay. It was easy walking distance to the Main Street and the kitchen facilities are fantastic! We got woken up each night by other residents who forgot the code and got locked out but this isn’t the hostel’s fault.
- Karen (8/5): Fine stay - I stayed for 2 nights with tween age kids. The room was clean and it was nice getting a towel. Great to have sink in the room. The kitchen had a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. We got the codes for doors to let ourselves in via email. Saw staff cleaning but had no interaction with any staff. The location was walkable to bus etc. We needed a place to store bags for a few hours on last day. The storage lockers outside were convenient, if expensive for just a few hours. I'm not sure what I would have done if they were all full though.
- Monika (8/5): - This was once a grand place. Its older now. Nice kitchen and public areas. Beds are very comfortable. Close enough to walk to restaurants and shopping.
- Lucius (10/5): - Good hostel
- Yan (6/5): Overall good but no free luggage storage service - Good location, self check in / check out system is good but there’s not luggage room for the guests to leave their luggage before check in time. I have to pay the luggage locker (just outside the hostel) instead, wasn’t happy about it.
- Vera (4/5): - Booked a room in a dorm just to find out that there was a glitch in the system and my bunk bed was taken. Not a great experience especially after a long flight and arriving past midnight. So no, I would not recommend this place.
- Orby Reyzon (10/5): - I stayed in one bedroom not shared. Its clean, quiet and I like that I can lock the door when I use the bathroom. Its 3 blocks away from the church and walkable to Reykjavik downtown. Also, another reason i stayed in this hostel is that they have free parking. I would definitely stay again if given a chance i come back to Reykjavik area. Highly recommended. :D Thank you for an awesome stay that made my first trip to Iceland a memorable one. See again next time.
- Mary Hung (10/5): - The employee named Hang, she was helpful, friendly & professional. We didn't get the code to our room so she helped us to get hotel contact for our code. Great location, spacious room & common areas .
- kara (10/5): - It was very easy and felt safe as a solo female traveler
- Rajender (10/5): - Lots of showers and restrooms.
- Della (6/5): - No reception staff. Three people approached me needing help to find their rooms. They had no emails after 1500 with the necessary info needed with room number and codes. Poor mattresses. Anytime anyone moved in bed the springs squeezed. I stayed in room 100 and around 0030 you could hear loud pounding upstairs and constant moving of what sounded like heavy chairs/furniture. The hall smells of faint sewer all the tome. Price was ok but won’t be back. Only convenience is great location.
- jance (10/5): Great place to stay - Great place to stay at downtown Reykjavik, very convenient to walk around city. free parking , easy to find food , close to church. clean hotel, with great interior and picture. clean bath, towel, comfort bed & pillow . I cant give 5star for service, because no staff at property. They give me code for entry before check in time 3pm. VERY RECOMENDED.
- Anna (10/5): Improve the service ! - Everything was fine until the housekeeper (a young guy) started knocking in the morning. Check out at 11 o'clock, he started knocking and immediately opened the door at 9 o'clock in the morning - it's terrible! When I opened it, he couldn't really explain what he needed from me so early.
- Sebastien (2/5): - Be aware that there is no reception. You need to receive a sms for your room number and code that i didn't received, so you have to writd them an email. You are by yourself. No option for late checkout, they don't allow. You can leave your luggage in lockers for $20 or more depending of the size.
- Katherine (4/5): - There were no lockers in or around the rooms, no staff, two toilets and one shower for the whole floor. The bathrooms had toilet paper all over the floor. The kitchen sink would only do super hot water, that smelled like the lagoon. The vending machine did not have normal water. No staff visible.
- Giselle (8/5): - Kept in good condition.
- Lilin (10/5): - Convenient lication
- Maurizio (8/5): - Simple but good solution for a budget-friendly stay, very close to restaurants, cafes and pool
- Drishyanadh (2/5): - Staff are really rude . Very bad experience
- Kenneth (6/5): - We had a private bathroom but it was quite dirty. The room was just ok. It's not as nice as the pictures show.
- Kulroop (8/5): - We took room for 4 with private bathroom .clean room with good comfortable beds. Walkable distance to all the food places and the famous food street, chruch harpa. Loved the stay
- Dina (10/5): - Good place. Clean
- Tashi (10/5): - Cheap and best
- Allison (10/5): - Spacious rooms and so clean! Large bathrooms and personal safe's. We were not there long enough to use use the kitchen but it was large and bright.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice
- Aya (4/5): - I don't recommend this hostel because the room had not prepared at 3pm. After checking in, bed making staff came into my room and start bed making with laughing loudly. They did not explain the reason because they don't speak english. In several minutes later, another cleaning staff came in and start cleaning. That experience was very unpleasant.
- Maria (8/5): - Kæmpe lejrskolefølelse på hotellet. Værelset var rent og pænt, sengen var overraskende behagelig ift forventning. Rene og pæne badeværelser. Generelt kan man se det er en ældre bygning som er blevet sat pænt i stand.
- Mariana (8/5): - Foi boa porém não tem banheiro separado por genero
- Maricela Cuellar (8/5): - Very friendly staff. The guests were a bit noisy.
- Patricia (8/5): - Super Lage, sauberes Zimmer, bequeme Betten, gratis Parkmöglichkeiten. Gemeinschaftsbäder waren nicht so der Hit, aber dafür kann das Hotel wenig. Würde hier wieder buchen, wenn ich nach Reykjavik komme, für isländische Verhältnisse gutes Preis-/ Leistungsverhältnis
- lakshmanan (6/5): - The property was very close to the downtown areas and the church nearby, bubt that was it. The hostel is basic barebones, just some bunk beds and shared bathrooms. Bathrooms were not clean and kitchen was ok. So if you need a place to stay and only need to crash for a few hours, this place is perfect.
- Glenda (8/5): - I like the diming option where you can cook your food, condiments provided, pots, pans, dishes are available for you to use. There are left food from prwvious guests that you can take if you want. The wifi connection though isnt the best in our room. The router isn't reachable enough on the farthest area. We usually stays in the kitchen or the reception area so we can get a wifi. The resr is ok. Rooms fine, few shower rooms and bathroom outside oir room. There's sink inside the room at least for you to use to brush uour teeth.
- Angela (10/5): Excellent accommodation! - This is a very clean hostel (including the shared bathroom!) in a convenient location in Reykjavik. We are a family ages 55, 54, 18, 17, and we would definitely stay again—even we parents would stay here if traveling on our own. We were very pleased and the savings allowed us a spa adventure!
- renee (8/5): - Great location w free parking. A few of the big landmarks and great restaurants are nearby. Check in and check out were extremely easy which I appreciated.
- Joshua (10/5): - Loved how quiet and way it was
- JULIO (8/5): - Ok para um hostel. Check in online, estacionamento gratuito e bem localizado. Chuveiro poderia ser um pouco mais forte.
- Jasmin (10/5): - Helppo sisäänkirjautyminen ja siistit huoneet. Hyvä keittiö ja lukitut tallelokerot. Vastaanotossa ei ollut koko aikana ketään, mutta en kaivannutkaan apua.
- Cassandra (10/5): - I’ve stayed at both hostels in this property. I booked a private room this stay. The beds were very comfortable. Staff was friendly. There was a light out in one of the bathrooms but there was no wait time for showers. The kitchen is located at the back of the hostel so that was a little difficult to find. I like the location as everything is walkable. I will stay here again 😊
- Thainá (10/5): - O hostel é super bem localizado, cozinha completa. Gostaria também de elogiar o Mike que foi incrível, nos tratou muitooo bem e foi super solicito todo o tempo. Adoramos a estadia.
- WING MING (10/5): - 地點十分好
- Verified traveler (6/5): Okay for one night - The decor is garish and the rooms have the same vibe as a hospital room. We stayed in a twin room with shared bathroom. It was okay because we only arrived around 10pm and left at 8:30am, and we went out for over an hour looking for the northern lights. I would not stay any longer to be honest. The sheets used on the bed and pillow are a harsh texture which is a bit uncomfortable. There was a strange graffiti style wall art of naked women on the wall. There were two toilet cubicles in the shared bathroom, plus a toilet/shower combo. Think one toilet was out of service. Toilets were relatively clean. Definitely bring flip flops/sliders/etc if you’re staying here. There is a small free car park, which is something we were looking for in a booking. You are sent an access code about an hour before check-in opens. You use one code to enter the hostel from outside and one to enter your room. I did not see a single staff member anywhere.
- Verified traveler (4/5): On nous a donné la chambre la plus petite - Nous avons été assez décu de la chambre que nous avons recu. En regardant sur le plan d'évacuation de l'hotel, c'était la chambre la plus petite de tout l'étage ! Nous avons pris la chambre "Twin Room with Shared Bathroom and Free Parking" et apparement cela correspond à plusieurs chambres différentes et on s'est fait avoir.
- Sky (10/5): - The room was great overall. It is spacious and clean. Kitchen is fine. It have all the essential and oven, however, there is not enough dinning space. The place always got crowed during dinner time. The lounge kept closed until my last day. Some hair dryer also not working.
- Jolene (10/5): - Yumi at the front desk is AMAZING!
- Dany (10/5): - Lovely!!
- Dany (10/5): Fun in Reykjavik - Amazing hostel, private room. Highly recommend, 20 min walk to downtown and lots of great bars!
- John (6/5): - We enjoyed our stay there. The only comment is rhat there is no hook in rhe shower room
- Denis (8/5): - Personnel très accueillant, nous a bien conseillés. Cuisine très fonctionnelle et propre. Très belle décoration. Par contre, notre chambre était trop près de l'entrée et des toilettes...difficile de dormir.
- Todd (8/5): - nice place for the money
- Raymond (10/5): - Situated in a good location where it’s easily walkable to the main bus terminal and busy area of Reykjavik.
- Helen (10/5): - Very good location and convenient.
- Joao (10/5): - Massive building, very nice and spacious. You'll get lost inside. Very good and well equipped.
- Chao (10/5): - Great location and friendly staff!
- Lenka (10/5): - Great location, clean, helpful staff
- James (2/5): - Absolutely filthy and the rooms are so cramped and small. It feels like prisoners have access to better lodging than this.
- Rachel (10/5): Easy late checkin - Amazing communication our flight was cancelled and we got a later flight so our checkin was after midnight, they provided all the codes to get in
- Noel (10/5): - One of the best hostels I stayed !!
- Jacob (10/5): - For Hostels, this is pretty nice. Kitchen and many bathrooms. Would stay here again.
- Jessica (8/5): - Like the cleanliness, comfort of facilities and room, simple but efficient. Walkable to anywhere in the city but situated in a quiet area with in hotel parking. Very pleasant stayed.
- James (10/5): - Hostel B47 is ideally positioned centrally near to the main shopping area and not far from bus station. Also it is only a five minute walk from the Halgrims church which has a very high tower. Easy to find your way back to the Hostel as the tower makes a good marker.
- Amy (10/5): - Great location. Great start to our trip.
- Jaime (10/5): - The young man with glasses that worked the front desk was great. He was considerate, kind, and willing to help anyway he could. When i take my Mom to Iceland, we will be staying here.
- Dylan (10/5): Great hostel in Reykjavik - Very nice hostel with friendly staff and lots of shared spaces. Very clean, but hot water smelled weird (due to use of geothermal water heating). Other than that, a very nice experience.
- Weijia (10/5): - Very convenient location with reasonable price.
- Robert (10/5): - 사실 숙박한 호스텔중에서 b47이 가장 최고입니다 ! 왜냐하면 직원들이 친절하고 시설하도 깨끗하고 가격도 적절합니다 ! 게다가 b47 위치가 아주 좋기 때문입니다 . 아이슬란드에 방문하면 꼭 b47에 숙박해 보세요 ! 진실 - 미국인 로버트 B47 is the best hostel I have stayed at! The staff is friendly , the facilities are very clean and the prices are affordable. If you visit Iceland then B47 is definitely the place to stay ! Sincerely , Robert (USA)
- Roange Angie (10/5): - The staff at B47 were amazing ! Between answering all questions & amazing customer service!
- Thibaud (10/5): - Great place. The staff was helpful, friendly and they had safes allowing to sleep peacefully. I just wish they had more common areas.
- Samantha (8/5): - I stayed in a shared female dorm, I felt very safe and the other occupants were very quiet and considerate. The room could have been cleaner but it wasn't too bad. The shared bathroom was clean. Buying food out in Reykjavík is very expensive so having the communal kitchen and dining area was very handy. I'd stay here again, it's good value and very close to the centre of town. Thank you 😊
- Jeffry James (10/5): - Love the place, walkable on everything in downtown area.... Fantastic staff front desk..
- Marco (10/5): - Hostel at a great location, next to the church
- Travis (10/5): - All of the staff were very kind and friendly and super helpful whenever I had questions about anything. The shared bunk room I was in filled up by the third night but everyone was as quiet and respectful as you could reasonably expect. The location is great and very convenient for walking or taking a scooter anywhere downtown, and the free parking in back is crucial. I hope to return!
- Sharon (8/5): - Convenient location, clean, large well equipped shared kitchen area, felt safe as a lone female traveller.
- Lee (10/5): - I have stayed in hostels throughout the world. B47 was centrally located, easy access to public transportation and safe designated parking. The facility was very clean and one's safety was assured.
- Melissa (10/5): - Friendly staff who greeted us at check-in. The private room and bathroom were clean. Would recommend!
- Rahel (2/5): - Terrible relation ship Staff not help for every body and every one Mestake for information Big mestake of staff about connection I look for some number station of bus And woman from staff send me another direction I spend 2 ours and not find my bus That was crezy My food was closed still 10 o’clock at morning And never mind My first time I meet this relation ship from hostel My best regard
- Nan (10/5): - Clean
- Verified traveler (2/5): Below Average Services - Our first impression of this hostel wasn't good due to two reasons: firstly, we made our booking via Hotels.com and paid the full price before our visit. However, during our check-in, their staff said they hadn't received our payment and refused to let us check in unless we paid again. Obviously, something went wrong, but they didn't want to resolve the issue by listening to our situation. They frankly said 'they don't want to listen,' and their attitude was clearly impatient. Nevertheless, one of their members kindly checked our bank transaction (at least that made us feel they were resolving the issue). But in the end, we had to pay them twice at the hostel and spent two hours on the phone with Hotels.com customer service to request a refund. Secondly, we booked a room with a private bathroom. However, the condition and cleanliness of the private bathroom gave us a negative impression as there were male and hair residue. We didn't raise it with the staff due to our check-in issue, and we used the shared bathrooms instead. It is also worth mentioning that the cleanliness of the shared bathrooms was of a high standard, and they did apologise after we contacted Hotels.com.
- Jody (10/5): - Nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed at!!!
- Phyl (10/5): - This hostel is so close to everything. A quick walk from the bus station and an even quicker walk to the Church Center.
- Jody Catherine (10/5): - This was the most beautiful hostel I have ever stayed in. I felt very safe and comfortable. Rooms were extremely nice. I loved staying there.
- Cassandra (8/5): - This was a great place to stay in the city centre, we walked everywhere, about 5-10 minutes right to the city centre.
- Lynne (10/5): - Great location. The 6-bed female dorm was spacious and well laid out.
- Felicity (10/5): - It was my first stay at a hostel and I was nervous as I was staying in a co-ed room as a solo female traveller, but I felt safe the whole time. The bed was relatively comfortable and clean, and there is easy access to restrooms/showers. Some minor things were out of order like the hair dryer, but nothing concerning or inconvenient. The staff/owners were super friendly and helpful, and the area was perfectly convenient- if you plan on doing excursions with shuttle pick-up, the nearest bus stop to the hostel is only a 3 minute walk away (Bus Stop 8). As a bonus, it's next to Hallgrímskirkja as well as lots of dining/shopping options. I only paid about 112 pounds for 4 nights. Overall great value, I'd definitely stay again!
- Ben (10/5): - Very clean and friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great value - It was clean and exactly as described. Close to all the New Year’s Eve activities (5 minute walk)
- Kaylene (4/5): - 4 bunk beds, 8 female room. NO storage in the room. Each bunk bed had on drawer that could Not be locked. Housekeeping opens 5 to 6 rooms or more at a time for AM housekeeping then leave the area for 15 plus minutes at a time. Everybody's items are unsecured. Room was extremely HOT. Two of the beds were directly next to the heaters, surprised the person sleeping there did not get burned! Lack of comfortable community area. Dining area with couch at the dining table. Limited access to electrical outlets. They just threw 4 bunk beds in a room and called it good. Each bed needs access to USB ports, individual lights. Only one light in the room...either it is on in everybody's face or off and you can not see anything. Needs to be modernized. Due to heat, no way to unpack or secure belonging in room and then lack of bed related lighting, usb ports, plug ins I would not return.
- Neli (10/5): - Ok
- Kyle (8/5): - Our stay was very pleasant at the hotel. The room was very basic but clean and comfortable. The shower had some mildew which was tolerable. The breakfast was fantastic. It was definitely worth the value for the area.
- RENE JASON (10/5): - This hostel is a 5 min walk to bus stop 8 where all the tour companies send their pick up shuttles for day trips and walking to all the food shops.
- John (10/5): - The b47 is owned by some Filipino people & they are some of the nicest people have ever met maybe in my entire life they were so friendly that I actually want to visit the Philippines now
- Stephanie (8/5): - Price for the space and area were pretty good. The manager (I think?) was lovely and accommodating. She even exchanged my currency multiple times! They offer a little restaurant with options for purchase and alcohol! Kitchen was clean and offered a fridge and hot plates to use. Only complaint is the lack of bathroom IN the shared rooms. Makes it really annoying when people are walking in and out of the rooms (and slamming doors) in the middle of the night. That's more the guests than the hostel I suppose.
- Tanya (10/5): Very kind staff and owners ♡ - A situation occurred while staying there and immediately the receptionist and the 2 hostel owners took us seriously and fixed the problem. Not only were they extremely understand. They were also very kind and accommodating. The quality price ratio is excellent and I 100% recommend this place. I'll be back for sure.
- Glenn (6/5): Just fine - It was just fine. Does the job. Unfortunately I was always the last hotel pick up though.
- Jose (10/5): - Clean, attentive and perfect location for a good full day in the city center
- Tam (10/5): Great location, highly recommended. - The check-in process was confusing but I love the room. The sink was a bit tiny but workable. The shared bathroom gets flooded easily but overall it is a clean place. Place it's an easy walk to town. We wanted to book this place again once we completed our ring road. Unfortunately, it was booked out.
- MARINA (8/5): Nice stay - Nice stay overall. Very basic rooms with no individual lockers, but a drawer under the bunk bed and a room code to access the room (very welcomed!!!) Clean facilities and comfortable restrooms. Very nice staff, yet a bit desorganized. Perfect location right behind Hallgrimskirkja. I would book again!
