This is the best hostel in Reykjavik and maybe in the whole of Iceland. Lot of (free) facilities, cheap, good location, clean, nice atmosphere and very kind owners. Highly recommended.

Shared bathroom so sometimes it's dirty after used by other guests.

Good location and free parking available onsite

The staff was so helpful. I made a terrible mistake in "timing" and they were so kind and helpful. I hope they see this note to learn how important their kindness was to me.

It would of been a perfect review but the power outlets didn't work in my room.

Good location near city centre

Stayed in August 2025

The hostel is close to the city center and for Reykjavik the price is very attractive. Towel is in the price, which is always good. No key for the room, you get the code to open the door.

It would be nice to have lockers in the room. There is enough space for them. They only have small safety deposit boxes.

Great hostel, 10 minute walk to the city center and 11 minute walk from BSI bus terminal. Nice big kitchen for cooking with a view, has everything you need.

The kitchen is quite dirty, it would be great if it would be cleaned and organised more often. The jalousie in the room were broken, so you could not properly closed them. There could be bed lamps. I wanted to ask something at the reception a few times and almost never had the chance as the reception was mostly empty.

The location is amazing, it is reachable by the public transportation and walkable distance to the city centre. The bed is comfortable. Showers clean and spacious.

Bunk beds didn’t have rails in the back, my pillow fell several times during the night

Location is great, close to the Hallgrimskirkja church and easy access to the flybus shuttles The rooms have everything you need for a hostel, clean and warm beds. The bathrooms were good, relatively clean and I liked that there are hairdryers

Power, cleanliness of bathrooms, lack of management

Stand light did not work. Power outlet in room 309 blew out. We could only charge in the group kitchen which was in high demand. Management was pretty much non existent except for like 4pm whrn check in timr was & then he was too busy. Id go again if the thermal spa next door was open. It wS closed for renovations.

Great location, near the heart of city but enough distance away from it for peacefulness. Everyone was super friendly, love the balcony for scenic view.

I can't see me hosteling again, I really need my own room I think, but that was way outside my budget!

First ever stay at a hostel, so if you're reading this please take this into account. The room was fairly spacious for 8 ppl. The bed was comfy and there were no problems checking in or out. The common areas were well maintained and clean.

Absolutely nothing!

It was perfect for our last night in Reykjavik, before walking to bus station, one half mile away!!

lack of simple hooks in the bathrooms unsafe luggage storage at the reception desk

Location is fantastic

Stayed in August 2025

bathrooms are dirty, when you shower you do not have a handle for towels and your clothes we were 5 people and they cannot put us in one room, even if we had an extra bunk bed in 4 people rooms

location and parking, you walk at the famous protestant church 5mins, everything is walking distance

Very close to Reykjavík centre, easy to walk to from the BSI bus terminal. The common room had plenty of cutlery, plates, bowls, cups and glasses, plenty of food had been left ‘to share’ and there’s free tea and coffee! Microwave, oven even an air fryer to use too! Towel provided and the showers were lovely and hot. Never needed to queue or wait to use the bathrooms either. Lovely view of Hallgrimskirkja from the dorm window. Beds form but comfortable and very clean, white bedding. Code lock on the dorm door so felt safe and secure as a solo female traveller. Superfast, free WiFi too was great and loads of sockets right by each bed.

The door entry code was a pain and didn’t work half the time it was annoying everyone trying to get into our room.

The cooking area was good , beds comfortable,

Stayed in July 2025

There is storage space in the kitchen for food, including 3 large fridges, with a system of labelling food and leaving food to share for other guests. This isn't quite large enough for the guest capacity, and the provided pens were dry and post-it notes depleted, making the system somewhat difficult. One of the fridges is missing a handle.

A large hostel in a very convenient location for Rykjavik centre. There are a range of rooms, some with 8 beds, some with 4. Bunk beds are OK, and the bedlinen and towels provided were clean and fresh. The kitchen is adequate and reasonably well-equipped, with free tea and coffee! There is a lot of parking space for those arriving by vehicle, and a bus stop right outside. Supermarkets and coffee shops are within walking distance.

Nothing much

Lovely hostel in the heart of the city. Walkable to all major attractions. Spacious rooms and sufficient toilet, shower and kitchen facilities. We totally enjoyed our stay.
