Amazing
- Yuk Ching (8/5): - Nil Nil
- Mirela (7/5): - Było czysto dużo Łazienek Dość oblegany
- Jacky (8/5): -
- Andras (6/5): - The hostel's common areas are nice, also the shared bathroom, the shared kitchen are in a good condition. Very little room. We arrived in a late time, very tired. The beds are not prepared, we have to do the job. Then next morning, we have to take it off, and bring down to the first floor. What are we paying for?
- Jegatheesan (8/5): -
- Zachariah (8/5): -
- Carla (8/5): Great place for a Reykjavik base - Value for money Great facilities and welcoming staff The two brats I shared a room with from North Carolina Greer and Bella who obviously never got the hostel courtesy memo and thought it was fine to come in at 2am , switch on lights , take a long shower , open the curtains and talk in stage whispers and make sleeping impossibly difficult!
- Darrin (8/5): -
- Olga (9/5): -
- Kerekes (8/5): -
- Andy S (9/5): - Friendly staff, clean, a decent enough bar/cafe in a rural setting with easy links to the city. The breakfast was pretty good value which I recommend as nowhere else opens nearby until 10am. I was unfortunate enough to be in room no.1, which is situated directly above the main entrance, next to a shower room and opposite the main stairs/landing/lockers so, it can be noisy sometimes at all hours....

- Jonatan (9/5): - Świetny hostel organizujący sporo wydarzeń dla swoich klientów. Dużo przyjaznych miejsc do prowadzenia rozmów, dwie duże kuchnie dość dobrze wyposażone. Personel w większości polski, ale reszta mówi perfekcyjnie po angielsku. Będąc w Reykjaviku spałem w trzech hostelach - ten zdecydowanie jest najlepszy. Spokojnie można dojść piechotą do centrum miasta (ok. 20 min) ale jest też autobus miejski naprzeciwko.

- Mairnus (9/5): Uitvalsbasis om reykjavik te verkennen - Meedenken van de baliemensen. Ook kwam toewijzing kamer. Verder is er alles wat je nodig hebt op reis. Keuken, lekkere ontspan en ontmoet ruimte en spelletjes. En gemeente zwembad ernaast! En hotdog tentje er vlakbij. Iets verder van het centrum maar niet heel ver. Het is te lopen, dik half uur.

- Jon (7/5): - Cheap and cheerful. As my first ever hostel trip it was good. There were lockers that were free if you had a padlock. There was traditional breakfasts items to choose from too. The showers were big and the beds were already made and left untouched. I would visit again for the price alone. The doors seemed to work whenever it wanted. You’re given a code, but even when it was entered correctly it said "operational" and it didnt open. Due to Iceland's summer though, I would have expected blackout blinds at the bare minimum. I also would have expected the breakfast to be cheaper, but it's Iceland so of course it was €15 for one night. It cost me €35 to book.
- Deimantė (10/5): - clean, very good option.

- Natalia (8/5): -
- Mason (10/5): The best place to stay in Iceland - The location, the atmosphere and the cleanliness Nothing
- Martyna (10/5): Lively family friendly hostel - Do not be scared by the facility being listed as an "hostel" since we were travelling as a family with a toddler, I was slightly concern if it was the right choice, however we couldn't end up better. Very cute hostel with all needed facilities in place: laundry, bathrooms including private one if prefers, 2 kitchenet's with microwave, hob, fridge and ect. Amazing dining and chill room. We actually regret we couldn't chill out there in the evening with some beer and playing board games. Nice design, in summer very cute outdoor area. Easy check-in, baby cot was provided. Warmly recommended.
- Syed Hammad Ahmed (10/5): - Everything was Excellent, clean good staff Its just suggestion they should make the night event for get together culture exchange organised any small eg 1.5 event to make their holidays kore amazing,
- Lucita (9/5): - Relaxed, strategically located, homestyle atmosphere, awesome crew- friendly, helpful.Good breakfast st reasonable price. Varied lounges for groups and individual s alike. Not a deal breaker ..there is no elevator if you have big and heavy luggages. Travel light - manageability is key.
- Akshat_DE (10/5): -
- Lucita (10/5): - Perfectly and strategically located!
The bus stop is just across the street.
Pick up and drop off for tours and Fly Bus (Van) is right outside the hotel.
The Crew runs the place very efficiently! You will never feel helpless!
Shout out to Patricya, Alicja, Jagoda, Julia, Slim and others whose names i have not gotten! Special shout out to Huang and Cho for keeping the quarters and WCs clean and not run out of supply.
Different lounge nooks that suit
everyone’s vibe! Perfect for both huge crowd and solo travelers.
Kitchen on each wing is available if you want to prep your own meal. There are small bins you can use for your food supply.
Laundry room and storage in the premise are huge pluses !
The welcoming atmosphere where you can be home away from home . Relaxed ..with everything you need in it.

- Wu (10/5): A great hostel! - Perfect environment. Great bed, reasonable price and incredible service! Everything is good except location is not in city center
- Kevin (10/5): Un'esperienza rigenerante in un ambiente curato nei minimi dettagli. - L'atmosfera estremamente accogliente e la pulizia impeccabile di tutti gli spazi. Lo staff è stato gentilissimo e sempre disponibile per ogni nostra esigenza. Nulla di rilevante, forse solo la pressione dell'acqua nella doccia che era un po' debole in certi orari.
- Tomás (8/5): Great place to stay - The spaces are great, the rooms funcional and next to the pool Kitchen gets dirty easily
- Guest (10/5): -
- Tara (8/5): - Very well decorated hostel. Pleasant stay.
- Hanna (10/5): - Чистота и спокойствие.
- Noelia (7/5): Buena estancia, con gran zona común muy bien equipada - La gran zona común, con zonas de trabajo, zona de juegos con juegos de mesa a nuestro servicio, futbolín...
La habitación y baño dentro muy bien. La cocina, la gente no guardaba lo que fregaba, además faltan ollas y utensilios.
Nos tuvimos que hacer y al salir sacar las sábanas fuera, y no están incluidas las toallas en la habitación

- Anna Malena (10/5): Opholder var meget godt, glæder mig til næste gang - Morgenmaden var sund og mættende. Der var ikke noget jeg ikki kunne lide
- Chiara (10/5): -
- Iwhmn (10/5): - Very clean and well maintained hostel with common areas. I loved getting various readymeals from Bonus, microwaving them and plating them up. Extreemly close to a really nice municipal swimming pools. Lovely staff. Bring back the fire pit outside 👉🏼👈🏼
- Sari (8/5): Edullinen ja ystävällinen majoitus vähän keskustan ulkopuolella - Ovet toimivat henkilökohtaisilla koodeilla eikä avaimia tarvittu. Huone oli riittävän iso ja aamupalan sai ostettua erikseen niin halutessaan. Aamupala sisälsi kaiken tarvittavan. Henkilökunta oli avuliasta. Huoneessa oli välillä melko ummehtunut haju ja ulkona sataessa ikkunoiden sisäpinnat kostuivat.
- Nikolai (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Anna (9/5): - Very cozy hostel
- diongue (9/5): -
- Lavinia (7/5): Buon rapporto qualità prezzo, soprattutto in una città così cara - Posizione ottima, check-in semplice
- Louisa (9/5): - Sehr gute Lage, ein wunderbares Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und vor allem ein sehr schöner Ort für Alleinreisende, da es sehr schöne Abendprogramme haben.
- Scott (8/5): -
- Chris Edmily (5/5): - The staff is truly outstanding. They are always in a great mood, with a very positive attitude, and they take the time to explain everything clearly and provide excellent service.
The bathrooms have been recently renovated, and the result is very pleasant. The new design is modern, functional, and much easier to keep clean compared to the previous facilities.
The cleanliness of the rooms is also excellent. The beds always smell fresh, and the sheets are consistently clean and well maintained. It would be very important to ensure that bathroom mats are replaced daily in all bathrooms without exception. Due to constant moisture, they accumulate bacteria quickly, and it is very unpleasant to step on mats that are not properly maintained.
Previously, the bathrooms were separated by gender, and this is no longer the case. This change makes the experience uncomfortable, especially for women who may want more privacy. It would be worth reconsidering having separate bathrooms again.
Another point to improve is the towels. While the bed linens are always fresh and clean, the towels sometimes have an unpleasant smell, even after a single use. This suggests a difference in the cleaning process. It would be important to improve the laundering of towels so they match the same standard as the sheets.
- Elsa (8/5): - Sehr schön, nettes Team. Ein bisschen zu weit zum Zentrum
- TAYFUN (10/5): All good - All good All good
- Ching Yee (9/5): -
- jieer (9/5): -
- Ferhat (9/5): Séjour agréable - Je vous le conseille pour séjourner, pensez à réserver un peu plus tôt pour avoir des meilleures prix.
- Prateek (10/5): - The Vibe. The staff and help. Nothing.
- Marcin Białecki (7/5): -
- Laura María (7/5): Estancia correcta en Reikiavik - En general una estancia normal, es un hostal como otro cualquiera de una ciudad grande.
Me pareció curioso y muy buena idea que tuvieran una hora de encuentro para viajeros que fueran solos porque es una buena iniciativa para la gente que va sin compañía. No tiene ascensor y nuestra habitación, al ser en el segundo piso, tuvimos que subir las maletas a pulso (que eran bastante grandes más las mochilas y bolsas de compra)
- Juan Carlos (9/5): Really good place for backpackers - Personal was very helpful. Rooms and local are amazing. Kitchen was nice as well. I was not comfortable with mixed bathrooms.
- Patrik (9/5): Příjemný hostel, vše čisté a uklizené. - Čisté prostředí, vybavené pokoje, čisté toalety a sprchy.
