Guest Reviews

- Claudia (7/5): Preis Leistung passt absolut. Für einen Roadtrip sehr geeignet - Total ok für eine Nacht. Alles war sauber und die Küche war gut ausgestattet Irgendjemand hatte an dem Abend Fisch gebraten, das konnte man im ganzen Haus riechen.
- Valentina (5/5): - Camera sporca e struttura trasandata
- sim ying (10/5): -
- Zuzana (8/5): -
- Julien (8/5): - Grand dortoir de 8 lits... au calme car j'étais le seul cette nuit là !
Pas tres loin du centre ville.
Très bonne boulangerie de l'autre côté de la rue. Dommage que les restaurants du centre ville ferment si tôt en mai (21h) ... seul Domino's Pizza était ouvert !
Chauffage du dortoir un peu fort et non réglable...on dort la fenêtre ouverte en mai !
- Rémy (6/5): Bof on peut peut être trouver mieux pour ce prix là - La cuisine partagée
- un store et un rideau occultant permettant de faire le noir dans la chambre Mauvaise insonorisation, notre chambre donnait sur l’accès à la cuisine, très bruyant peu reposant.
La chambre n’était pas très propre
Le bâtiment et l’intérieur font décrépis
Aucun dispositif pour mettre ses affaires au sec dans la douche (un seul patère)
- Prapasri (8/5): Nice and quiet - Free carpark Clean kitchen

- Julia (7/5): Not what we expected for the price. - Kitchen was spaceous, bathrooms were ok, it was warm. Little room without any space to unpack, we got one at a level where the window was at the ground floor of people walking in and the street next by. People
Were running down the stairs at 1 in the morning - felt like an earthquake.
- Nicolas (9/5): -
- Ana (8/5): Muy buen alojamiento - Estaba bien ubicado ya que cerca tenía supermercados y la carretera principal. La cocina era bastante grande y con mucho sitio para todo el mundo. La habitación era bastante pequeña para el equipaje que llevábamos.
- Stefano (10/5): Ne vale la pena! - Facile da trovare! Punto strategico vicino al kronan e ristoranti. Camera accogliente e cucina enorme dotata di 4 piastre e 4 lavandini. Parcheggio proprio di fronte la struttura
- Ruben (8/5): -
- Eva (5/5): -
- Ainhoa (1/5): Pesima - Nada No había jabon de manos en los baños, la puerta de la habitacion estaba rota y no cerraba el pestillo, le falta limpieza y mucho mantenimiento, las fotos que veis no tienen nada que ver de como esta ahora, hay mal olor a tuberia, las almohadas no sirven y las cortinas daban mucho asco. No lo recomiendo.
- Caroline (10/5): Très bon marché, central et propre. - Dortoir très propre, grande fenêtre au bout, assez d'espace entre les lits.
Cuisine très bien équipée, assez de taques, 2 grands frigos.
Douches et sanitaires agréables, propres. Équipement pour la lessvie disponible.
Parking gratuit à l'arrière.
- Erkan (9/5): Gutes Hostel im Zentrum von Sellfoss - Sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Großer Aufenthaltsraum mit allen notwendigen Utensilien. Sehr anonym. Keine Rezeption.

- Jan (7/5): -
- Morgane (2/5): - La cuisine accessible Le bruit, la saleté
- konstantinos (9/5): - Ήσυχο..καθαρό...οικονομικό...
- Fiona (8/5): Praktisch und gemütlich - Sehr gemütliches Zimmer. Geräumige Küche und viele Bäder über den Flur verteilt, sodass man es nicht weit zur Toilette hatte. Ich habe anfangs den Eingang nicht gefunden.
- MARTIN (5/5): mauvaise expérience - proximité des sites à visiter mauvaise literie, pas d'accueil donc pas de renseignements, très bruyant malgré les recommandations de la direction
- Reto (7/5): Für eine Nacht auch mit Familie ok - Gute Lage, kleine einfache Zimmer. Selbst-Check-in problemlos. Die Küchenutensilien waren wie oft in Hostels nicht sehr sauber.
- Noelia (8/5): Buena habitación y mesas en la cocina - La habitación cuádruple donde nos alojamos está bien, con lavabo dentro No me gustaron las duchas, y en la cocina faltan cubiertos

- sonia (6/5): Decepción - La ubicación y la cocina No tiene nada que ver con las fotos, yo no vi esa fachada, las habitaciones tampoco son como se describen
- Andrea (8/5): - Classico ostello, ma con spazi molto ampi (la cucina è davvero grande). Paese un po' più pieno di attività commerciali rispetto al resto dei paesini più isolati trovati nei giorni precedenti. Parcheggio disponibile di fronte alla struttura
- Lisa Sophia (9/5): -
- Camille (8/5): - Pratique à selfoss, chambre familiale pour quatre. Place de parking devant. La cuisine est très agréable. Nous avons du adapter notre voyage à cause d'une alerte orange et le personnel à été très arrangeant. Chambre humide
- Elisabetta (9/5): Tornerei - Molto carino Nulla
- Sylvie (7/5): - V centru Selfossu. Kuchyň ok. Nebylo úplně čisté, malá manželská postel. U okna světlo prosvítající i přes roletu.
- Alexandra (10/5): Clean, quaint, convenient. - Cozy rooms with clean facilities just a short walk from the town center. The building had nice interior upgrades (bathrooms, showers, kitchen). The exterior gives it a bit of a run-down appearance. However, the looks are deceiving.
- Alex (6/5): Buen lugar de paso para una noche - La cocina por que era grande y estaba bien equipada Las duchas y el poco espacio en la habitación
- Cristina (7/5): Ci siamo trovati bene - In posizione centrale, ingresso con codici preinviati, caldo, bagno in comune pulito, ben accessoriato, ampio spazio con cucina. nulla

- ANNAELLE (8/5): - La cuisine commune, très grande et bien équipée, ainsi que les douches et la possibilité de faire une machine à laver.
- Murielle (8/5): - Proche de la N1 donc pratique en cas de neige abondante, la cuisine et la sdb étaient très bien et propres et très bien équipées. les draps et serviettes étaient propres et plutôt confortables. Un petit lavabo dans la chambre est un plus. Le café est très bon. Les chambres sont vraiment très petites et pour un séjour à deux avec deux bagages, l'espace est un peu juste.
- Maikel (8/5): - Oud van buiten maar goed bijgehouden van binnen, top voor een doortocht waar je zelf wilt koken
- Robin (8/5): -
- Cátia (5/5): - The space was comfortable, warm and well equipped. The kitchen had plenty of space and there were enough toilets in the property. All the beds in our room appeared to be dirty, as if the sheets weren't changed before our arrival. The sheets had hairs on them. The floor was dirty in the room. The staff realised that there was a problem with our room but never asked anything or apologised when the situation was explained to them.
- Mirko (9/5): - Struttura pulita
Letti comodi
Bagni spaziosi
Parcheggio gratuito e di fronte alla struttura
- Angelo (10/5): Pleasant place to rest for a night after a long day of travel. - Very attentive staff. Bathroom accomodations.
- Roelofs (9/5): - De ligging en de faciliteiten De temperatuur op de kamer

- camilo (10/5): Lovely place! - Everything amazing ! Was too hot at night but ok.
- Agathe (6/5): -
- Leah (10/5): - Convenient location to golden circle and airport. Nice and clean, nice kitchen with good seating. Very friendly and helpful staff.
- Ragnar (7/5): -
- monobella (9/5): - Great location for exploring the south coast, lovely staff who worked diligently to keep spaces clean and were nice to chat to, excellent and generous kitchen facilities with laundry as well, and supermarket and eateries all within a few minutes walk, all for a great price. For these reasons I would gladly stay again. It's a hostel, so at the end of the day - as well as timing for using the shared spaces - comfort does depend on the consideration of your neighbours. I had some lovely ones some nights who were also nice to talk to, and large groups of international (mostly high school age) students for others... who very much lacked the maturity for a shared environment with strangers and did not respect the hostel rules.
- Elodie (10/5): -
- Paulina (5/5): Na jedną noc okej - Dobra lokalizacja, duża kuchnia to bardzo na plus Mocno dotknięty czasem obiekt, niestety przez to wydaje się niezbyt czysto
- Elodie (10/5): - L'emplacement (à côté de magasins, essence, hopital, etc),, les espaces communs, le parking, la propreté, la disponibilité des hôtes :)
Vraiment je recommande !
- Marina (10/5): Bien ubicado y buena relación calidad precio - La cocina estaba limpia y muy completa El olor de la habitación y la del baño era un poco a tubería
- Alix (6/5): Great base to springboard to have day trips in the area. Thanks so much - Great location. Was an excellent base for a few days. Good parking, room was quiet and it was everything I needed it to be The toilet didn’t smell the best
- Beatriz (9/5): - Está en un entorno muy bonito, con fácil acceso desde la carretera y tiendas alrededor. La habitación daba a un bonito patio y la cocina es muy grande con muchos fogones, fregaderos y utensilios. Se puede aparcar en la puerta sin problemas Las camas estaban separadas y una sonaba mucho, el tamaño un poco justo
- María Alejandra (8/5): -
- Corcelli (8/5): Perfetto per una notte di passaggio - Tutto bene, self check in
La cucina disponeva di tutto il necessario

- Lilja Björk (10/5): - Comfortable and nice. Nothing. Everything was perfect.
- Christopher (8/5): - Central location with parking , very well equipped kitchen with free coffee and tea. Enough showers and bathrooms. Room had a sink. Rooms are small, not very good soundproofing so noise from other guests
- Fabiana (6/5): Ok per una notte e via - Ostello con cucina ampia. Prezzo contenuto, buona la posizione.docce ok, ma posizionate a ridosso della cucina. Letto scomodo, dall ampio spazio sotto la porta della camera entra la luce del corridoio che rimane accesa tutta la notte, la cucina è ampia con più fuochi e lavandini, ma se ti ritrovi con tanti ospiti fatichi a trovare le stoviglie, e se gli ospiti sono maleducati, ti ritrovi la postazione sporca.
- Yi Chan (9/5): Overall a pleasant stay. - Located at the center of Selfoss, and there are plenty of parking spaces, which make the hostel very convenient overall.
The kitchen is especially well-equipped. Four stoves and basins are available, and there are also complimentary coffee and tea, a very nice gesture! There are plenty of entries/exits that are not locked at all, which makes me felt less secure. People from the outside may not know that, but me knowing that there are ways for outsiders to get in is strange.
