    Kitchen was a little dated and not super clean

    Good location for seeing Studlagil, around 20 mins from here. Comfy bed and clean room, parking on site

    Sounded like doors were slamming all night, not the property's fault just a hazard of staying in a busy hostel.

    The individual room was standard and bed was comfy.

    The shared kitchen and common dining room was a bit small and on a different building from where we were. The all place felt a bit dated and in need of a redecoration.

    We loved the room and bathroom size. Location was perfect to visit the Studlagil canyon

    … it’s really basic. Strange smells all around, kitchen without basic things - not even a wash cloth and detergent for dishwashing…

    Good location and it filled its purpose (stop for the night during our ring road trip), but…

    There was no personal contact with the staff. A key was lying at the entrance. We did not know how the breakfast and checkout worked.

    We stayed one night at the hotel and everything was fine. The furniture is very simple and also the rooms are of a normal standard. The bathroom was very huge. The location is quite good as it is close to the canyon.

    Could hear other guests if they weren't being self aware - no fault of the property, unfortunately one couple were inconsiderate and being unnecessarily loud. After asking them to be quieter, it was great. Note: no kitchen for hostel guests. A second pillow per bed would make the stay even nicer! :)

    Comfy beds, lovely hotel and a simple but well appointed room. Beds were slightly bigger than othe rplaces we stayed. Beautiful and peaceful location. Staff were friendly and helpful.

    We had three person room. It was cramped for our suitcases.

    I did not have breakfast so I have no opinion on it. The Studlagil Hostel was pretty what I expected. It was clean and the price was good for a three person room, The shared bath was clean but modest. The bed was comfortable.

    Shower inside is cold, so you need to use the campsite's one, kitchen also outside with the campsite, although not too much of a big problem. Otherwise not really much of an atmosphere in general, not many people. But in general all good!

    Not bad for a night/stopover. Room was clean and quiet. The staff lady was super nice and cool :)

    The shared kitchen did not even basic supplies (salt, peper, sugar...). It was just the utensils. Soap/body wash in the showers also not provided - as is usually the practice in other hostels.

    Right off the highway, it was a very convenient overnight stop at we drove from Egillsstadir to the northern parts of Iceland. The time were very comfortable. Nothing else for miles around. The cafeteria in the hostel has limited choices, but good food. The complimentary tea/coffee was a nice touch.

    Bad smell at the room. The heater was not working. Showers and bathrooms were old and not very clean. In addition during the night the alarm was ringing and this was scary, hopefully this was a false alarm. The only positive is the convenient location of the hostel.
