• Péter Miklós (7/5): Egyéni utazóknak tökéletes. - A környék csöndes volt. Tetszett a szabályzat, hogy nem lehet cipővel a szobába bemenni. Elég mennyiségű fürdőszoba volt. Függöny volt redőny helyett, ami kicsit nehézkessé tette az alvást.
• Мисюра (7/5): -
• Jeny Sin Mas (10/5): - El sitio es muy limpio , centrico y muy bien equipado. El personal que limpia es un encanto el chico y la chica que estaban alli se portarom muy bien con nosotros .
• Aikaterini (10/5): A consistently excellent hostel that I keep coming back to - -This was my tenth time staying there, so it is clear that I am completely satisfied with this hostel. -Staff, location, amenities, cleanliness, everything is excellent. -It is very convenient that they offer the option of a super late self check-in. Nothing to complain about
• Sigurgeirsson (10/5): -
• Sawyer (10/5): - The beds were comfortable, facilities were all very clean, and the reception was extremely nice. The location is just a short walk from downtown. Great stay!

• Elizabeth (8/5): Very Affordable , secure and clean place for a short stay in the city. - Cheap. Large private bathrooms. Large kitchen to use. Only 15-20 minutes from tourist area of Reykjavik. There was nowhere comfortable to sit and relax once the lounge area was closed. The lounge are on the ground floor had great sun but was only open 10am to 4pm ; the kitchen had chairs but zero windows. Not very inviting.

• luz (3/5): Hostel un tanto frío - Los demás huéspedes Cama en el suelo muy incomoda, el alambre en la espalda, tuve suerte que un chico me ayudó para poder entrar, no había nadie responsable, a las 12:30 de la noche se escuchaban carcajadas. No es el ambiente HOSTEL y el precio es elevado. No lo recomiendo

• Dayne (9/5): Pretty much the ideal hostel. - Super close to downtown, especially if you rent an e-scooter. So many nice, clean, individual bathrooms. Good kitchen facilities. Self check in is easy. Beds are not reserved, only the room. This means that you get to choose a bed when you arrive, but it’s not something I prefer. This is not really a negative statement, more of a neutral one.
• Kiril Raychev (10/5): Great accommodation option in Iceland - Great place to stay in Reykjavik, good value for money. Clean,nice bed, bathroom is quite clean. The kitchen is generally well equipped so you can save on food as well. It's walking distance from the BSI bus station and the central area.
• Richard (1/5): Stay elsewhere - So not stay here ! The property attempts to run without any staff which makes any small issue a major obstacle. Also it is just not convenient to anything in Reykavik. The staff (or absence of), the location and no complete lack of any aspect that makes hostels enjoyable budget options.
• Valentin (10/5): -
• Kamil (9/5): -
• Cortez (10/5): Great place - Good location, this place is clean and you can do self-check in which is extremely helpful.
• Conor (7/5): Good price and great facilities, lacking in the social aspect - Toilets and showers were clean and very spacious, didn't struggle to find a free one either. The location is convenient for tours and drop-offs and the laundry is reasonably priced. Good kitchen facilities too. If you just want a functional hostel with a place to sleep this is perfect. If you want a social aspect then you'd be best to go to the Loft or something similar. There's no social events but also no common area other than the reception which closes at 4pm and isn't available weekends. My recommendation for the Hostel would be to still allow access to the reception area even when unstaffed as the couches are much more spacious and comfortable for reading/watching then the kitchen tables. Overall a very pleasant stay.
• Jason (10/5): Comfortable and neat stay than expected of a typical hostel. - Kept clean and tidy and meets the criteria for a hostel. There is direct airport transfer and tour buses pick you up from the location. If you are driving, there are ample parking spaces. The staff is helpful. Its about a 20min walk from city centre so maybe a bit isolated. Need to walk a few minutes to reach the nearest store or restaurant.
• Augustina (10/5): - Mi piaciuto molto la struttura, molto pulita,la zona è lontana da centro. La stanza è molto grande, spaziosa e pulita. Il bagno è molto grande e pulito.È in una zona residenziale e silenziosa che mi ha piaciuta tantissimo Lo staff è eccezionale, il sig Pablo e il suo collega sono molto gentili, attenti a ogni esigenza. Mi hanno fatto lasciare il bagaglio nella stanza di sicurezza dopo il check out per poter fare un giro in centro. Non mi ha piaciuta il fatto che le donne debbano condividere le stanze con gli uomini, alcune donne spesso andavano in bagno per vestirsi in svestirsi. Per fortuna per me in 5 giorni sono rimasta in camera da sola fino sabato sera quando è arrivato un uomo in stanza e andavo a svestimi e vestirmi in bagno. Un conto se ci sono gruppi di amici, amiche, coppie di fidanzati o famiglie, ma mettere in stanza una persona che viaggia da solo o sola con gruppi di uomini e viceversa non è molto carino. Bisogna anche sapere che ci sono donne che non amano condividere stanze con gli uomini per vari motivi. Quindi spero che in futuro Bus hostel keyjlavik faccia qualche modifiche o almeno chieda le esigenze di ogni ospiti che verranno allogiare da loro. Ancora meglio fare un modulo a momento della prenotazione.
• Anastasiya (10/5): Отлично! - Очень милый и дружелюбный персонал. Кухня со всем необходимым. Отличное расположение. Хорошее соотношение цена/качество. В следующий раз думаю снова здесь остановиться.)
• Lue2 (8/5): - Solides Hostel - wie erwartet, saubere Bäder und unkomplizierter Check-In/Check-Out! Küche könnte etwas besser ausgestattet sein (Messer stumpf, Spülbürste und Schwamm sehr dreckig und kaputt)
• Arianninabi (8/5): -
• Christophe (9/5): - Easy to check in and manage your stay without needing to speak with staff Shared kitchen areas are cosy but not always clean
• Aissa (10/5): - Everything was good Nothing

• Barry (8/5): Great hostel but having no staff from Friday afternoon & all weekend is very poor - My 3rd visit should off been like the last two visits but this one wasn’t I arrived 16,30 & had two check in myself I then got locked out my room & as there was no staff on & none all weekend I was stranded, even thou there was a emergency number to call it did not stick out & I could not get hold off any staff eventually I found my room code by going on to the computer which was left on absolutely no confidential at all I could of easily got ppls information as I got mine, two have no staff on was very poor
• Alexandra (10/5): Best staff - The staff was the best part of my stay, the two guys helped me (Peruvian guy Manuel and Venezuelan guy) to make my stay better. I would recommend it, also you have to know that the hostel doesn’t have female rooms bc of their culture.

• Michelle (6/5): Convenient for an layover - Walkable distance to the city centre and large parking. Towels available at extra rent which is impossible if arriving after the reception is closed. People who didn’t seem to stay at the hostel were sneaking in when hostel’s guests wanted to enter. The room was poorly aired and very warm, in combination with the small window we had to keep the door open for some time in order to get air inside the room.
• Serhii (6/5): -
• Diana Marques90 (4/5): - Check in fácil Não havia toalhas de banho disponíveis. Supostamente dava para alugar mas a receção está fechada ao fim de semana.. O quarto também era minúsculo, praticamente da largura da cama..muito claustrofóbico
• Guðbjörg Alda (9/5): - Það er hreint og rúmin góð Þurfti að fá aðstoð til að komast inn í herbergið
• Anne (1/5): Nul - Aucun transport prévu pour se rendre à l’aéroport domestique, réception fermée car week-end, nous avons dû nous rendre à pied avec nos bagages à l’aéroport ! L’hôtel se situe au milieu de nulle part et la chambre est un placard ! À fuir ! Erreur : message ci-dessus à placer ici
• Isabella (10/5): - Super accommodating staff, nice facilities, nothing to complain about!!!
• sajjad (8/5): - It was clean Reception always absent
• Ryan (5/5): - Had a horrific person sharing the room with me which made the stay so much worse. Not the hostels fault per-say, but still was not a good experience.
• Jan (2/5): - Dobrá lokalita, příjemný personál Bohužel z několika stipancu se vyklubaly stenice, přikládám obrázky. Personál mi věci vypral, ale nepomohlo to, v novém pokoji jsem mel dalsi štípance. Bylo nutné všechny veci vyprat, zmrazit a dezinfikovat.
• Laura (9/5): - Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es wäre schön, wenn der Rezeptionsbereich auch außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten zugänglich wäre.

• JUAN (8/5): Me gustó - Las instalaciones y limpieza Que no tuviera recepción 24 horas.
• Noelye (6/5): - A côté de l'aéroport et pratique quand on a un avion à prendre le lendemain. Arrivée autonome. Les chambres sont mixtes et les lits plutôt proches mes uns des autres.
• Salah (10/5): - Just perfect Not really
• Kristian Miroslav (2/5): - There was no pillow on one bed. I wrote a message to get the pillow but I didn't got the answer. The bathroom was not clean and there is after 16h no stuff to ask if you need something.
• Nadine (8/5): - Bequemer Betten, großzügiger Raum. Genügend Duschen und Toiletten vorhanden, ebenso große Küche Leider gibt es immer noch keine Möglichkeit eines reinen Frauen- Zimmers.
• RoselFL (9/5): - The place is budget friendly. It's close to the Perlan museum (where we watch beautifully the Northen Lights), and the Bus Travel Tour starts and ends there. So it was very easy for me and my sister. The place is clean; it just that there were tourists who didn't know how to read instructions in the kitchen. (Like, they just left their dishes their on the sink. Cannot throw properly their garbages). I haven't personally met the staff, but they're very quick to respond every time you send them messages. Overall, our stay was great. And we're planning to book again when we come back in Iceland.
• Ignacio (4/5): - La cocina estaba bien No ofrecieron ni toallas
• Naomi (10/5): - Very friendly people running the hostel, clean and has everything you need Nothing
• Mattia (8/5): -
• Tanner (6/5): -
• Iustina (5/5): - Very well equipped and clean kitchen The utilities were ok. I had problems with a drugged roommate so I couldn't sleep in the room. And I stayed here two times. Each time I didn't get the message with the info for self check in. I had to call the property and wait for them to check everything until they gave the codes I needed ( it was a waste of time that could've just been avoided)
• Iustina (5/5): -
• Maryia (5/5): Okay for its price but could be much better with small effort - Good location, very good price, bathrooms were big and i always could find a free one. Kitchen is fully equipped Rooms are not gender separated. There are NO CURTAINS (even tho there is a special slats for them)! Bedsheets feel like 100% polyester (so I got a small electric shock when I touched the iron frame of the bed). No knives on the kitchen. No good cups (only small plastic cups). Sometimes entrance electronic pin pad wasn’t working and reception working only 9-16

• Sharren (8/5): Great location, clean and comfortable - It was a great location and the staff were really accommodating. There’s meant to be a lounge but the doors to it were locked most of the time.
• Robert (10/5): - Nice place to stay. Clean, comfortable beds without making noise. In quiet area over night.
• Luca Versari (8/5): Very good hostel - Good position, clean and big bathrooms Missing clean bath towels
• Judith (8/5): -
• Kirsty (10/5): 10/10 place to stay while in Reykjavik. Cheap & cheeful close to everything! Highly recommend! - I loved how close it was to everything, a short walk and we were right on rainbow street! The hostel was clean & felt safe. Every bathroom I used was also very clean! The cleaners do a great job! We also couldn’t hear people in other rooms or anything so that is a huge positive too! We arrived very early before check in just to see if we could leave our bags but our room was ready so we got the drop them to the room before setting out to explore. Ernesto was a huge help, I cannot thank him enough for his assistance in keeping us together as a group & providing us towels. The sofas are so comfy in reception & its a cute little area with coffee machine, it’s a shame it’s locked off when the reception is closed as the hard seats upstairs get a bit sore on the bum after a while 🤣 and everyone tends to gather there & have a chinwag for hours about their trips that day, it’s such fun space to hear everyone’s stories! we will 100000% return to this hostel when we come back as there is just so much to see but not enough time! Highly recommend 10/10 There wasn’t really anything we didn’t like just some tiny things that could help. The kitchen could do with a toaster & some normal size cups. We struggled a bit to have hot drinks/soups in the tiny plastic tumblers but we did buy an Iceland cups as a souvenir so we used that for the duration of our trip so it wasn’t a big deal but they are too small for things like cup a soups as you can’t get enough water to mix. Also having to get towels from reception can be tricky especially for those with trips booked as they are away before reception opens & back after it closes, which is was a problem we encountered although Ernesto sorted us out which I can’t thank him enough for! Maybe a vending machine with towels could be an idea? Just a suggestion ☺️
• Anna (8/5): - Easy to self check in The location is walkable distance to Perlan and Thermal bath The reception wasn't 24/7
