Guest Reviews

• VIRIDIANA (10/5): -
• Lee L (9/5): Fabulous stay - The location. Self check-in instructions excellent. Staff friendly. Clean, comfortable bed especially in the 4 bedder female dorm with private ensuite. Love the balcony but did not get to enjoy it as much as it is di popular in the afternoon. Will return if I come back to Reykjavik. Non refundable rates. Would prefer if both options are offered ie free cancellation and non refundable.
• Christian (8/5): Perfecto para un par de noches - Muy bien situado buen bar arriba en terraza tiene para guardar el equipaje Pasan los camiones d la basura a ls 7 de la mñn y te despiertan
• Marcello Simone (9/5): Ottima posizione e un ottimo bar - Il bar è un luogo accogliente e allegro. Maggiore spazio per riporre i bagagli. Il bar apre solo alle ore 8:00.
• TZU TING (10/5): - The location and the great staff None
• Siu Yin Eliza (9/5): - Staff ware very friendly. Check-in was easy and quick. The rooms were nice and quiet as well as clean the windows cannot open
• Daniel Salama (10/5): - Very good. I love the balcony and facilities. Location perfect.
• Maciej (2/5): Wouldn’t come back - Nice personel and location. Yellow stains on mattresses, a lot of dust. Couldn’t open windows, with 4 ppl in a tiny room is truly awful.

• Bartłomiej (8/5): Idealny spot na przespanie się w centrum miasta. - Czysty pokój, dobrze wyciszony w centrum miasta. Wspaniały bar i rooftop, gdzie można fajnie spędzić czas wieczorem. Dobrze wyposażona kuchnia, w której można było szybko przygotować sobie posiłki do zjedzenia na miejscu lub do zabrania w dalszą podroz. Światło na czujkę w łazience powodowało, że w trakcie brania prysznica gasło.
• Luca (6/5): - Posizione Camera troppo piccola
• Miro (7/5): gdybym wracał to też tam - całkiem przyjemny hostel, położony w epicentrum miasta - wszędzie blisko! nic szczególnego nie znajdzie się

• michael (10/5): - Très bon emplacement en plein centre. Chambre propre et spacieuse. Et personnel très professionnel et gentil.
• Christian (6/5): -
• Jose David (8/5): Bien - La ubicación La calidez de su personal: poco amables y además había una obra de construcción al lado que hacía mucho ruido. En cuanto a la cama tuve que dormir en la parte de arriba, no obstante, el techo tenía una ala adicional que hacia el espacio de movilidad fuera reducido, por lo que me pegué varias veces en la cabeza
• Ids (10/5): - 10/10! Top locatie. Fantastische sociale ruimte (die ook functioneert als café, waardoor je ook locals ontmoet). Slaapkamers waren op aparte verdiepingen waardoor je totaal geen last had van geluidsoverlast. Zeer vriendelijk personeel ook!
• pangotra (10/5): -
• yilin (6/5): - 有厨房真的很好 卫生条件：我被床虫咬了！从手到腿全是很痒的包！我还在床上打死了一只虫子 隔音：几乎能够直接听到外面的声音 没有床帘，很糟糕！而且床一躺上去就会吱吱吱乱想
• lina vanessa (8/5): - Excelente ubicación y cama cómoda. Limpieza 10. La cocina equipada con todo lo necesario para cocinar. Ademas hay comida básica que van dejando los viajeros y puedes aprovechar Zona comun con terraza y juegos de mesa. El detalle de regalarte tapones para los oídos ayuda a descansar mejor. Lockers para dejar tus cosas muy pequeños.
• Luca (9/5): -
• irem (8/5): Almost great - Location is the best. Terrace when the weather is sunny. I stayed there for a week. It was more than okay. Highly reccomended but I believe that it can be better in some ways. The beds are very old, creaking, and not comfortable at all. You should revise those. Also, it would be great if there is some curtains in mixed dorms by the bunk beds. The staff is not very friendly, I am very surprised with that. The bar prices should be more affordable maybe for who stays in the hostel. You should buy some knifes for vegetable chopping or peeling in the kitchen. The knifes are either too big or not sharp.
• Klaree (8/5): -
• Rayner (10/5): Helge provided incredible service at the bar! -
• Karin (7/5): - 清潔感があり、室温もちょうど良く過ごすことができました。 また、市内の中心地にあるのでツアーの集合場所にもアクセスしやすかったです。 部屋の中でピザを毎日食べてる人がいました。窓も開けることができなかったのでとても匂いがこもり、快適とは言い難かったです。また、夜中にはライブがどこかで行われているのかわかりませんが、とてもうるさく部屋まで丸聞こえです。耳栓をしても筒抜けでした。ツアーでは早朝や夜遅くから始まるものもあるので充分な睡眠を確保したい人にとっては別の場所を探すことが賢明だと思います。
• Lars (8/5): - Erg schoon / je krijgt wat je verwacht van een hostel
• Sam (7/5): -
• marita (9/5): Great value! Central location near sites, restaurants + bus stops. Nice staff+ shared spaces. - Highly recommend Loft-Hi Eco Hostel! We had a private room which was small but comfortable with our own bathroom. Very nice for the price. Fantastic location in the midst of everything you'd like to see in Reykjavik and very close to two bus stops which are also used as pick up locations by tour groups. Friendly staff, kitchen with fridge, stove and storage for dry goods. Loved the 4th floor where guests gathered to have a drink, play board games/cards/etc, or chat on cozy couches. I was afraid it might be loud. It was not during our 3 night stay. It was perfect. Before we arrived I emailed with a few questions and staff responded quickly. Appreciated that, too.
• PeiYun (9/5): - 都很好 靠近鬧區，假日晚上狂歡的聲音有點大
• Olga (10/5): - Milý personál, krásná atmosféra, pohodlné postele, čisto
• Simaria (10/5): the entire stay was peaceful and satisfying , exactly the way i needed. The staff was super accomoda - It was an amazing experience. the entire stay was peaceful and satisfying , exactly the way i needed. The staff was super accomodating and responsive. Nothing that i can think of
• Chantale (9/5): - Super emplacement Super ambiance
• Sam (7/5): A great location to explore the city from. - The location was great and the eco friendly ethos strong. The bed was uncomfortable and the noise from outside disturbed our sleep.

• Ho Yan (10/5): -
• Scott (10/5): Excellent location - The location was perfect and central to everything we wanted to experience in Reykjavik.
• jérémy (7/5): - city center , rooftop, guests kitchen 10 days with same bed sheets , no curtain in the dormitory , ceiling at head height for the upper bed , small bed
• Tanmoy (10/5): Good location - Very good hostel near the city centre and close to the main church. The kitchen is well equipped and the communication for checkin is clear. They provide the codes for the main entrance and other entrance beforehand
• Darya (10/5): - Perfect stay for solo travellers
• Roby (10/5): Posizione centralissima - Ottimo ostello con camere ampie e spazio vivibile tra i letti. Esattamente attaccato alla rainbow Street e vicino a tutte le attrazioni. Gli spazi comuni sono comodi e confortevoli. La terrazza un plus per ammirare il tramonto sulla splendida Reykjavík. Vicino a tutte le fermate da dove partono le diverse escursioni.
• Miro (8/5): Raczej bym wrócił, bo lepszego położenia nie znajdziesz! - Wszędzie bardzo blisko, genialne położenie! W weekendy ta lokalizacja trochę imprezowa i może być głośno, ale nie w pokojach a szczęście!

• Anikó (10/5): - Nagyon jó helyen van, tiszta, barátságos szállás.
• hojichamatcha (7/5): Plesant - The hostel's shared bathroom is really spacious and clean--I think it's one of the nicest hostel bathrooms I have ever used. I also like the 'too go to go/leave behind' trolley in the corridor. It is a really well-thought-out initiative for letting guests leave food stuff or things that they don't need or can't finish anymore. The common area is so nicely decorated. I absolutely love the balcony. On the day of departure, there was an unexpected snowfall, and I thought I'd get stuck in Iceland. However, staff members were very helpful in checking the latest storm updates, room availability just in case and reassured me that it was 'just normal'. For the price I paid in the winter, I think it was cheap by the standard in Iceland! I was kind of disappointed that there were no curtains for the windows. There is a series of opaque light panels in the inaccessible inner courtyard (I'm not sure what that part is). I couldn't sleep very well. It would also be better if individual curtains could be installed around bed frames.
• Anxiang (10/5): -
• Adamu (9/5): Great Hostel in an excellent location -
• Freya (8/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich, die Betten sehr bequem und die anderen Gäste sehr nett. Die Hochbetten sind sehr hoch, ca. 175cm sodass, wenn man das obere Bett hat man dieses in einer unangenehmen Höhe beziehen muss. Auch das rein- und rausklettern ist nicht sehr entspannt.
• Lida (9/5): Una alojamiento ideal. - La ubicación es ideal y el personal muy amable y siempre dispuesto a ayudarte. Creo que hace falta un poco más aseo en los baños y en la cocina, además las terrazas no estaban habilitadas.
• Tammy (10/5): Maravilloso lugar para viajeros - La limpieza, el ambiente y comodidad ! No hay nada malo
• Mateescu (8/5): -
• Frank (7/5): -
• Cloe (8/5): Està bé, pot millorar - L'ubicació és al bell mig del centre i a dos carrers pots aparcar en zona P3 que té un preu mig decent i a partir de les 18h és gratuït. La zona comuna és molt bonica i cuidada. Pots guardar les maletes abans i després del check in, però crec que les deixes en una escala d'incendis interior, no és una guixeta. Tenen punts d'objectes perduts perquè trobin un nou propietari. És un hostal ecològic. La dutxa estava plena de moho, terra i parets. No hi havia paperera a la sala de la dutxa ni a l'habitació, només a l'estança del vàter. No hi ha cap àrea per estar en silenci fent feina. El saló i a cuina comuns són molt sorollosos. La cuina necessita inducció, la vitroceràmica és molt lenta i petita per tantíssima gent. Caldrien ganivets que tallin bé llisos, i paper de cuina: no n'hi havia. L'escala de les lliteres és la cosa més incòmoda que hi ha.
• Jacob (10/5): Great, friendly, and comfortable stay, favourite hostel in Iceland - I love this property, warm, friendly and secure, this property is designed so that you meet people and is genuinely amazing, and even better it’s slap bang in the middle of Reykjavík Parking can be a bit tricky to find however if you can look past that it’s a great place to stay
• Ellen (6/5): -
• Francesca (9/5): Good vibes - Struttura colorata e piena di vita. Le stanze doppie sono molto belle e la vista dalla terrazza è notevole. La posizione poi è impagabile Non ho apprezzato tantissimo la moquette in camera, ma il resto ripaga ampiamente
• TRIANTI AYU (10/5): -
• Karina (10/5): -
• Alma (8/5): -
• Jennifer (10/5): Affordable stay in city center close to many hot spots - Easy to check-in, great location, nice community feel and space to relax or meet people and have a drink. No complaints
• teresamasciana (10/5): Accoglienza ottima a Reykjavík - Posto bellissimo, centrale, comodo , pulito e vivace ❤️
• Arjan (10/5): -
• YI-XUAN (7/5): -
• Mirco (10/5): - Locations and staff Nothing
• Bodnar (10/5): Got much more than what i paid for. - The atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. To be honest, nothing. It really is a nice place to stay.
• AN-NI (8/5): - 位置距離彩虹街約走路5分鐘，地點很好，入住前一天會提供所有check-in的資訊，簡單清楚 公共廚房設施齊全
• Jacob (10/5): -
• Lisa (9/5): -
• lilmac travels (9/5): Great set-up in Reykjavik - Loft is very much a hostel hostel with all the amenities for any traveller on a budget (which is most of us in Iceland). I was in an 8-bed room which is very roomy. The kitchen set up is great, but it's a little small especially in the morning rush. They encourage people to leave leftover food and supplies so rather than wasting them and throwing them out. Recycling is real here, it is fantastic to see. The cafe / sitting area is very roomy, but the only downside is it doesn't open until 8, so if you are up early you have to sit in the kitchen (this is why I only gave it a 9). Cafe / seating area not opening until 8 so there isn't anywhere to hang out except the small kitchen until then.
• Ružica (10/5): -
• Rootbeer Marie (10/5): - I love this hostel!!! It’s very clean and located in the heart of Reykjavik, just a 5 min walk from Hallgrimskirkja and the Rainbow Street. It’s also surrounded by plenty of restaurants and shops, which made its location super convenient. They have a guest kitchen, which is well-equipped and free to use. I stayed here as a solo traveler in a female dorm and felt very comfortable, but they also offer private rooms. I will definitely stay here again and will happily return with my family in the future.
• Þórhallur (10/5): - Virkilega frábært 🙂👌 Mjög vel 🙂👌
• Line (8/5): A répondu a mes besoins et attentes donc parfait. - Très bien situé. Parfait pour un cours passage.
• Saddam (10/5): I stayed there for three days, and it was an amazing experience. The staff was very nice and cooperative, and everything - The location and the staff It's nice and clean
• Yu Wen (10/5): -
• Jignesh (8/5): Great - The location was great, near all the tourist landmarks in Reykjavik. Beds were comfortable and the self check in process was straightforward. The motion sensor lighting in the bathroom necessitated that whilst in the shower you had to ensure that the light in the bathroom did not turn off otherwise you are showering in the dark. This causes a potential safety hazard if a guest has an accident in the shower.
• Qamar (2/5): -
• Jacob (10/5): What an epic place - This place is amazing the location the price the people the rooms, all amazing honestly I have met some amazing people here, the security of the site is great as well, I felt really safe here Nothing, this place is awesome
• YUMI (7/5): 全体的には良かったです！ - キッチンが使いやすかった。 中日に突然部屋のコードがエラーになり締め出しになってしまった。同室者も同様で焦りました。スタッフがいない時間帯だったので、私は一人だったらと思うと絶望だったと思います。同室者が英語が堪能だったので本当に助かりました。3連泊でしたがシーツの交換はなかったです
• Maksymilian (7/5): -
• Sherry (8/5): Great location in the city. - The location is great. Friendly staff. Nice shared kitchen with bins to store your personal food. Had refrigerator space and shelf space for dry goods. No freezer. I know Iceland is expensive, but price seemed a bit high for off season. Our window looked out over the roof.
