    We loved the atmosphere and the organization of the place: thanks to the door separating the well equipped kitchen from the rooms, you can cook at any time. Dorm with curtains for privacy. Assigned beds at check-in, so even in case of late arrival you go straight to your bed, no need to look for a free one

    Other people were very loud and it was past midnight - quiet hours.

    The room is nice and the location is perfect. In the kitchen you have basic facilities for example pasta. The bathroom is ok.

    Our room was close to the restaurant and during our stay there was an event and we couldn’t help listening to the performance until the end, while we’d rather sleep instead. Maybe it could have been nice for guests who appreciate live performances at late evenings. Moreover a group of other guest talked loudly in the common area until late at night,

    The common are was wide and nice

    More than decent stay for a hostel in Egilsstadir.

    Decent value given the location - in Egilsstadir. The beds were comfy. You have to be creative in rooms for your luggage and belongings since there is no space or closets. (We lucked out with a room with 6 beds so we used an empty bed for all of our luggage and etc. Not sure where we could have put our stuff otherwise...) \ The shared showers, toilets and kitchen were clean enough for a one-night stay. Check-in was easy.

    May be a little short-handed in staff as there was no one around when we wanted to check in. Soundproofing in the rooms can be improved as we could hear noise in the neighbouring rooms and common area. Kitchen is quite small for the number of guests staying at the hostel.

    Bathrooms and showers were very clean and exceeded expectations. The place felt very homely with ample entertainment like board games and guitar. Beds were good and comfortable, blankets were nice and warm. Grocery store is a short walk away.

    Our room was next to the outdoor eating area, so it was quite loud, but it quietened down after 10ish, which was good.

    Friendly staff that showed us around the property. Facilities were clean and well maintained.

    It's a hostel, you're not expecting miracles. The kitchen was a bit of an assortment of cutlery and crockery, but it was all perfectly usable.

    Beds were really comfy and the kitchen had sufficient facilities for cooking a basic meal. Check in and check out were really straightforward. The café/bar attached to the hostel was nice to have, especially with the happy hour and the ability to order food if you don't want to cook. Everything was really clean and the place was really easy to find. Made for a good one night stopover on our way north.

    + The common rooms are large, except for the kitchen. There are several showers and toilets. + There's a very large lounge with plenty of things to pass the time, including books, board games, chess and even colouring books for adults and children, as well as a few toys for the little ones. - There's a fully-equipped kitchen and they've added a sort of small kitchen in a corridor, but without a fridge. So there's just one fridge for all the visitors. When we arrived there were a lot of young people and so the fridge was completely full so we had to leave our groceries in the car.

    In my dorm there was just one window (not too big) at the end of the room. I had to open it all night because no one of the other guests (or the staff before arrival?) came up with the idea of ventilation. So the air in the bedchamber was pretty stifling and grumpy, which became better whilst opening the window the entire night time.

    The hostel is a good option to stay in the area and don't spend that much money for your holidays. Check in was easy. The kitchen isn't too big when it gets crowded, but you can take turns with other people cooking there. Bathrooms and toilets have enough space and were very clean.

    There are two more bunk beds in the double room which is weird and makes it really crammed. No space for your personal belongings. Nothing worked because it wasn't a touristic season.

    The place is big and must be crowded during travelling season. We were almost the only people in the hostel plus one girl.
