Guest Reviews

• Jonasdottir (10/5): -
• Giovanni (10/5): - Location and facility in general It was perfect
• Donnell (6/5): This is a clean property but it lacks character and the personal touch. - The location was acceptable and offered free parking on the street. The self check in instructions were clear. Prior to my stay here, I was at another hostel that provided so many amenities. For example, friendly staff at reception area, free coffee and tea, breakfast for a fee, an excellent dinner menu, beer/wine, hostel beds with privacy curtains, hot tub and sauna, and more. The daily rate was much less.
• Lara (8/5): -
• Shotaro (9/5): - Everything is clean, showers are very private, no reception which is convenient as well. Pretty much everything was perfect. Maybe a towel would be nice but that's asking too much for the price.
• Gabriella (7/5): -
• Marie-Theres (6/5): - Dass man nur mit einem PIN in das Hostel überhaupt rein kam und auch die verschiedenen Zimmer gab viel Sicherheit. Auch die Ausstattung mit Lampe, Steckdosen und Abstellbrett über dem Bett war gut. Die Zimmer waren sehr eng eingerichtet, man hatte kaum Platz für das Gepäck bei so vielen Betten. Auch war es sehr stickig in dem Zimmer weil nur eine Personen die "Macht" über Fenster und Rolladen hatte, da diese direkt an deren Bett grenzte und diese Person direkt tangiert.

• Skylynn (1/5): Didn’t like the stay - Location and cafe Great My room was supposed to be women only there was men, and my blanket was stolen by another guest so I had no blanket
• Janica Mae (8/5): -
• Stefano Carmelo (8/5): - la struttura è onesta. numero di docce e di bagni adeguato. Pulizia nella norma, cucina di dimensioni giuste. magari si potrebbe ampliare un pò l'area relax.
• Antonio Angel (9/5): Great - Confortable beds and well equipped place with kitchen and bathrooms very clean There is no personal who can help in case of an emergency, just a phone number

• Gelli (10/5): Un diez en la limpieza y confort - Las habitaciones con vistas, las camas son confortables y las las almohadas también, la limpieza muy bien. El espacio para lectura muy bien. La cocina es fríay y no hay café o algún detalle para el huésped.

• Parnikov (9/5): - Everything was clean. The place is cozy and welcoming. It have really cute restaurant on the ground floor. Supermarket is 2 minutes away. Nice lobby with couches and chairs to chill with friends. There is a pool - baths complex 5 mins away which is perfect for relaxing evening after a long day in the nature. The rooms do not have enough ventilation. Also I couldn't find any personal to rent the towels.
• Cameron (10/5): Very good - Very clean Nothing
• Artem (10/5): -
• yoko (9/5): とても快適！バスを使いこなせれば、市内や野外民族博物館など四方八方に楽しめる立地。 - 近くにバス停があるので調べて使い慣れたら、逆に立地がいいと感じる。市内から少し離れたホステルで、宿の近くの暗めの海辺からオーロラが見られた。ベットメイクもきれいで清潔に掃除されている。滞在する人が洗面所を汚したままにする場合があるがペーパーやゴミ箱が設置されているので嬉しい。部屋もシャワーもあたたかい。キッチンがあるので便利。併設されているカフェの食事は、すごくおいしかった。また行きたい！ 女子専用トイレがない。全部男女共用。

• April (8/5): - Convenient to access and check in any time. All of the information was readily available ahead of time.
• adrian (6/5): If you really can’t find anything else, it’s ok - The price was more less ok but generally the standard below expectorations In the room was very cold, very small amount of toilets and small common area, almost impossible to contact the staff, also the room is very noisy. I ended up sleeping in my car.
• Mirjam (8/5): - Saubere Bettwäsche, USB-Anschluss + Lampe an jedem Bett. Stockbetten, die bei jeder Bewegung Laute von sich geben.
• Oleh (6/5): -
• Karl (8/5): A good option! - The Laugardalslaug spa is only a few minutes away. Check in was not ideal, as I had not gotten a code.
• Shuly (8/5): Ok. - Not ecpensive. Shower are ok. The bank beds were 'moving' not sure how one does not wake the other one. The socket near the bed has no electricity
• Herve (9/5): -
• Rebeca (8/5): - Nos dieron un upgrade de la habitacion, asi que solo eramos 4 personas, lo cual fue excelente. La cocina esta bastante bien equipada. Tardas unos 40min en llegar al centro caminando y puedes ir al lado del mar No reponieron por un dia entero el papel de secarse las manos. Tuvimos un problema con un huesped que roncaba horrores, nos nos dejo dormir, al no haber nadie, no pudimos tampoco pedir ayuda. Asi que nos toco dormir una parte en los sofas de afuera.
• Charlotte (7/5): -
• Liala (7/5): - Easy, confortable place. "Cheap" for Iceland. We did not see people working there. So, It was quite strange for us, not to have contact with staff. Hygenically It was ok and acceptable, however, with one daily extra passage to clean showers and toilettes, It would make a huge difference, and make tis place from "nice" to "excellent". Same for the beds... Low quality bunk beds. When you climb on the highest one, the person on the lowest one will awake. Totally ok for 1-2 days, but better beds would make a huge difference.
• Edgaras (10/5): -
• Aleksandra (3/5): Unsafe for women travelers- creepy alcoholic men everywhere - A drunk man who was drinking at the property all day ( who was also living in the hostel and was not a traveler)was staying in my room. At around 1am he came to my bed and threw up on it and my things. I was told by the property that they are not responsible for anyone’s behavior. However, the property allows drinking alcohol beverages without any accountability (think as you are in a frat house). This is a self check in and check out hostel, there is no one to supervise anyone if things get out of hand. Hostel attracts drunk creepy men and as a woman solo traveling i felt extremely unsafe. I was harassed at night by this drunk person and it took about 30 minutes for the manager to come and help me. Hostel is in fact to blame because it allows alcohol drinking and it should be held accountable. I was placed into a room with another woman who also had an issue in her room, as a drunk man came and slept on her bed. Because of this drinking culture , all the men are outside in the courtyard drinking and smoking like it’s a bar, I strongly believe that if hostel continue to allow drinking on premises a disaster and more harassment will happen.

• Opoń (10/5): -
• Maya (1/5): Not for me... - Nothing. I booked 7 nights and left after 3 nights together with my friends. I didn't get a refund because they say I booked it in booking.com. We didn't like the hostel at all. The noise downstairs at the frontyard where people drinking and singing at wee hours in the morning...No towel or any toiletries except handsoap in the bathroom and when we tried to rent a towel, the cafe said they ran out. The room was hot and the shower was dirty, nowhere to put your own toiletries and there's water on the floor everywhere and no changing room.

• Laurie (8/5): - I loved the proximity to the geothermal pool and the beautiful shoreside walk nearby. I was worried about the lack of a reception, but everything was well organized and worked out in the end! Appreciated the clean conditions of the property thanks to the hardworking cleaning staff. Takk!
• Abu Rmeileh (10/5): Safe, clean, and comfortable - The property was close to everything a supermarket, ice cream shop and the biggest swimming pool in Reykjavik also near a bus stop, it was clean an comfortable and the owner is very helpful and nice
• Claire (9/5): -
• paul (1/5): BEWARE DON’t BOOK THIS IS A SCAM - I never actually stayed here as the hostel took my money after my booking was cancelled by booking.com I have ended up losing my money and the hostel won’t help. It appears that due to a processing error my money was taken twice and refunded once with a message to say the booking was cancelled due to issues at the hostel Consequently I found alternative accommodation. Two days after my booking the hostel took my payment again and wrote me up as a no show. Booking.com won’t help unless the hostel retrospectively cancel my booking I have emailed the hostel and they have failed to reply leaving me over £90 out of pocket
• Alicia (10/5): - Such a lovely place, kind staff
• Arni Hrannar (7/5): Very nice hostel down town - Stayed couple of nights, nice place, good location. I stayed in a room with other people - overall not bad but what I paid for.
• Bercea (10/5): -
• aubane (9/5): Great hostel - Friendly staff, easy to check-in, possibility to store luggage. Bus stop right in front The showers and bathrooms should be cleaned more often. At least once a day. The shower walls were dirty and the curtains and mats as well.the showers are modern though and absolutely usable, it’s not disgusting either! But juste room for improvement:)
• Iuliia (10/5): - Реєстрація без труднощів.Зрозумілий опис заселення. Ррзташування дуже зручне. Пара хвилин ходу до набережній. Можна цим шляхом дійти до центра міста.Туалет і душові кабінки в належному стані. Вікно з кімнати виходить на терасу.Поруч автобусна зупинка Кухня потребує косметичного ремонту. В холодильнику не було місця для моїх двох продуктів.. Одного разу були зайняті душові кабінки. Довелося чекати

• Mark (8/5): -
• Michaela (6/5): Probably too expensive - A fairly well-equipped kitchen. Self check-in. Door opens with a code, no need to carry a card or key. Plenty of space to park a car. This accommodation might be considered cheap for Reykjavik, but compared to far more interesting cities in Europe, it was expensive. The place is very noisy. However, it’s relatively clean and cozy, and stays warm even in cold and unpleasant weather. I have to give a low rating because of the price – it’s simply unreasonably high. Iceland is expensive mainly because they try to squeeze as much money out of tourists as possible, and the quality of this accommodation doesn’t quite match the price. I would have expected the option to borrow a hairdryer. Renting towels comes with an extra fee. I also expected more comfortable seating in the common areas. There are no blackout curtains. There was barely any fresh air in the room – you couldn’t breathe without the window open. But with the window open, the noise from outside was terrible. That said, the accommodation is still decent. Unless you’re willing to pay a significantly higher amount, you’re unlikely to get much better quality elsewhere — so it’s better to invest your money in exploring Iceland’s stunning nature.
