The room itself is very basic - beds, a floor lamp, a table and a washbasin are provided. 2 bathrooms are out of the room, as well as the kitchen with the necessary equipment. It's acceptable for a short-term staying. I was super lucky to have the best roommates! But there were 4-5 of us in a room for 8 people. 8 would be too many for such a tiny room. The location is one of the biggest advantages - close to everything:) The WiFi connection is great and stable!

The equipment of the room. Fewer beds for small spaces would be nice! Some belongings might be stolen from the common fridge or bathroom (but it's a matter of luck and ppl around, not a remark for the hostel).

We think it was formerly a hospital converted into a hostel. It's a very big. Well equipped with many common areas. It also look very secure for the ones travelling alone. It's also very clean. It's super well located to visit the city center by foot. It's next to one of the Sundhollin public baths in Reykjavik (2-min walk) that we recommend to try out !

The room itself has 2 bunk beds (fits 4-people is very small. The floor is plastic (lino) and it's deteriorated because some people pushed one of the 2 bunk beds. The view is on the parking. There is no one from the hostel that we could meet. We didn't see any physical reception. Communication was very clear but only virtual.

We had a really good stay here. We actually booked the room last minute while sitting in the parking lot, since our plans changed due to the weather, and everything worked out perfectly. The price was higher compared to other hostels we stayed at, but that’s understandable since we booked late, while others we reserved in advance. Booking through the app was quick and easy—we received the room codes within five minutes. We stayed in a quadruple room, which was clean, had towels provided, and the beds were comfortable enough. There were plenty of washrooms and showers on the floor, all very clean and well maintained. The manager was always around, very helpful, and even found us space to dry our tents. The kitchen wasn’t very large but was clean and well stocked with plates, utensils, and pans. We didn’t cook during the busiest times, but I can imagine it might get crowded. Extra perks: the parking lot is free, and there are luggage storage lockers right by the entrance, which are much cheaper than at the BSI terminal. Overall, we had a smooth and pleasant experience here and would definitely recommend this hostel.

Excellent location, very simple and easy check-in and all shared facilities were in top condition. We were pleasantly surprised at how big our family room was and how comfortable the bed was.

Apparently the fire alarm goes off in the whole building if somebody lights a cigarette in their room (as indicated on many signs in the hallway). That alarm went off in the middle of the night, was on for about 15 minutes and of course woke up the whole building. It is difficult to put in words how annoying that was and of course nobody knew who was guilty.

Great location with a big parking lot for cars. It is completely self check-in and out - we didn't see a single staff member for the 2 nights (which can be a good and bad thing). It is located < 5 minutes from the start of the main road which takes you right into the centre. There are also big supermarkets nearby. It is also located < 5 minutes from the big church which is very popular. Room was as expected for the short stay and had enough room for bags etc.

We didn't see a single staff member for the 2 nights, which can be difficult for less experienced travellers. We had to help a few guests who didn't know how to get the door code for their rooms. There are also many doors to the building but only one at the very back and bottom of the property is useable. It would have been handy if we could enter/exit from some of the other doors.

Top location, just behind the church in central Reykjavík. The private free parking is very helpful, as free parking in Reykjavík is not a possibility. It was nice not having to check in at a reception, everything is done through codes, easy and straightforward. The room with 8 bed was quiet big and spacious. It was not fully booked and did not have any problems in sleeping. The bed was fine, temperature in room too. Many showers and toilets, however the cleaning could be a bit improved (and guests could clean after themselves...) Nothing major tough. The shower was very hot. If I can give one feedback: on my second night, someone had taken my bed. The beds are assigned during the booking process, so I can't understand how some guy found its place on the bed I had slept the night before? I guess he did not realise the beds are assigned, therefore I suggest to make it more clear that the beds are assigned improving the communication. It's not pleasent having to take another bed worrying that someone may come at any time during the night claiming the bed where I am sleeping... I would definitely come back here as I had a positive experience, and the price is convenient compared to other options in town.

Large room for 6 people but no real storage below the bed like in other hostels. I don't think there were breakfast options either, as the hostel was newly operating without staff (except for cleaning). The location was very quiet.and the hostel is located only a few minutes to the centre by foot. I perso ally love the pool next door!

Email/messages with door code didn't arrive as promised days in advance, but only hours and I didn't see them until I got to the hostel, after reading all the signs on the door, so it was a bit of a surprise.

There isnt much staff. But they are very friendly and helpfull. I had a favorite room and when i asked for it they gave me the room when possible. Cleaner team is awesome. I was close to the best shower and slso the kitchen. I stayed much longer than planned. I met a lot of interesting and beautiful people. Great stay. Will end my vacation here when im done exploring the country.

1 thing i didnt like but that is in no way the hostels or its staff fault. Big groups. They take up to much space in the kitchen.

very nice and lovely staff, I asked about extra duvet, they provided me without any problem. Guys on the front desk helped me with calling a cab and I had really nice chat with them. I can recommend this hostel, they are trying the best a it is a nice vibes over there.

breakfast - nice to have this opportunity but I would prefer scrambled eggs to dry omelette. The price was fair. The big kitchen was under reconstruction that time. Small kitchen was enough for me. I could not find the entrance like a lot of people. Could be better instruction how to access the reception.

It was clean, well taken care of, had good shared kitchen, and was decorated in a funky and fun way. Fast responses by staff through Booking.com app messaging.

Probably has a plumbing issue--some water backed up in my shower even though I wasn't using it (shower floor went from having no water to having a puddle in it that I saw grow even though my shower wasn't being used). When I used the shower, it drained very slowly. About 2 inches of water backed up in about 10 min and took a long time to drain after I was done.
