I think eight people per dorm is a bit excessive. (snoring, only one bathroom)

I appreciated the clean bedding; I found the other seven young women in the dorm quite pleasant. The location was central to the city's shops and restaurants. The staff were helpful and friendly.

It’s location

On the downside, the bed was not very comfortable. Prices are quite high and feel exaggerated for what is offered, but that seems to be the standard in Iceland.

The hostel itself met our expectations. It provides all the necessary utensils for cooking and eating, has a good vibe, and is very well located. Parking is available in zone P3, not too far away. Overall, I think it’s a good option to spend the night.

Nothing to complain. Would recommend.

Location was amazing, and the shared room big.

Stayed in July 2025

Too many for so small kitchen, not enough space in the fridge to put the food and too noisy. It was impossible to park anywhere around, so we had to park 15 minutes away from the hostel (walking).

Location is right in the center and there are many bars, souvenir shops and restaurants The bar on the 4th floor was nice

Parking would be my only problem but there are garages nearby so that you won’t have to pay P1 parking

Location is key. It is a walking distance to everything around that area.

The ladder to the top bunk

The cleanliness and the location. Exceptional to have private room and bath at a hostel!

Only issue was the lack of respect from other guests when I was trying to sleep (very loud and noisy)

My first experience of a hostel .. a fun place to stay

Stayed in August 2025

I don’t like that the lobby closed at 11, but the kitchen remained open which makes up for it.

This hostel is in the perfect location and walkable to any major bus stops and landmarks in the city. The facilities were clean and well kept and everyone staying there was extremely considerate and respectful.

The accommodation is a convenient stay, it lends to meeting like minded travelers.

Excellent location, right in the heart of Reykjavik city centre with lively and positive vibes. The hostel rooms are spacious, giving you a sense of personal space and I found the other guests were respectful, despite it being common for them to leave at early hours of the morning. The bathrooms and facilities were clean and there were signs clearly explaining correct use and proper ways to recycle, with a focus on being environmentally conscious. Excellent value for money for what is considered an expensive destination.

The room is not well maintained and the washroom is also not that clean and hygienic. In one room 4 people is enough. I think instead of 8 they should start 4 with the same price businesses will grow more.

The beds are way too small and offer no privacy whatsoever. The matresses need to be changed. It is way too overpriced for what it offers. The ventilation system should be improved, as the room did not smell good.

The location of the hostel is fantastic, right in the heart of town within walking distance of sites and bus stops. The roof top bar is cute and organizes lots of events. The in suite bathroom was good and the room is spacious.

The hostel was friendly, warm and decorated really nicely. The cafe at the top was excellent with very reasonable prices for Iceland. Bed was comfortable and the facilities were kept clean. There were stations where other guests can leave items to be used by others - this is a good idea and helpful for me when I needed a warm hat.

No nearby parking, HD to park several blocks away and drag all our luggages over.

Kitchen has two large refrigerators, many pots nd pans, lots of utensils. It has room darkening curtains. Although on a busy street, we didn’t hear lots of noises.

It would be good to have more bathrooms available.

Location is central. Clean , staff is friendly and helpful.

It's a hostel so some noisy guests, bring ear plugs

Easy check in, clean and comfortable rooms, nice rooftop bar, friendly staff

There wasn’t much to dislike.

The location is great!

Stayed in July 2025

Towels were not included in price, so arrange it earlier if you arrive late as the reception closes at 23:00. Because of the central location it was very loud at weekend night, even with ear plugs. Not much space to the ceiling for top beds.

A bit more expensive than others, but great hostel. Self check-in makes life easier, though probably not too safe if people share codes. Your bed is assigned from the beginning, might be a good idea to write your preference in the comments while booking. There's a rooftop bar with affordable prices. I didn't have opportunity to use the kitchen, but there was a lot of food left by previous guests which you could use for free. The rooms are dark, and there's a shower/toilet inside the female room for 8 people. Great location.

They request that you remove the bedsheets before you leave, not an exactly straight forward task in the top bunk of a communal dorm when you leave very early

Beautiful rooftop terrace, friendly staff

- staff was not super welcoming and check in a bit anonymously - living room was always quite cool / cold

+ Great location + Lovely living room area + Many socialising options (unfortunately no one showed up during my stay for the get-together evening) & board games + Uncomplicated baggage storage + Thoughtful kitchen concept for food storage and for lost and redundant items + Sockets at every bed and own bathroom

Stayed in July 2025

All good.

Compared to the other hostels where they have 12 or more beds, in here every room has 6 beds which was nice. Power socket above the head was handy. There's a common kitchen on the top floor which is open 24x7 where we can eat, cook and store our foods. Plus rooftops to drink, to smoke etc.

The Loft is a great hostel in an excellent location downtown, close to all amenities. There is a smallish but good guest kitchen and an excellent bar to hang out in. The patios are a bonus. Rooms are modern and comfortable.

I stayed at the Loft Hostel for 1 night, but I really enjoyed the experience. Starting with the check in procedures, it was really clear and easy and was able to get to my room fast. Bed was preassigned and sheets clean and ready for me to use. Good quality mattress. Power sockets available on each bed. Shower and toilet available in the room was really convenient and clean. Location was amazing, city center.
