The kitchen could be a bit bigger. The older parts of the hostelshow their age a bit.

Pretty much everything. We were in the new section with our own bathroom. I enjoyed the art in the room and all around. The staff was very friendly and helpful - superb! Nice atmosphere.

My room seemed old and worn out. Upgrading mattresses, curtains, private plugs would have been nice.

The best part was the staff there,Maximilian was super kind and helpful. The location is good close to the park. It had a large sitting room that was nice.

kitchen is too small

The kitchen was quite small for the number of guests using it - we were very happy we had arrived right at 4 pm and started cooking right away or it would have been difficult to make dinner, and the cost was quite high (maybe because of location?)

Really wonderful common area, and very welcoming host who made us feel comfortable in the common area. This hostel is a fantastic place to feel as though you can connect with other travelers. The goal of creating community here is something that makes us want to support the place! There was a foozeball table in the common area that gave our son a chance to meet other kids and play, something that was a real highlight for him.

The kitchen area is a bit cramped for the number of guests accommodated. The room was a bit smelly and could do with a deep clean.

Great to have this place in such a convenient location for travelling around the Snaefellsnes peninsular. Staff are welcoming and friendly, and the large reception/common room is comfortable, with lots of games and information provided. Bunk rooms are adequate, and shared bathrooms are clean, warm and well-equipped.

Kitchen needed more cooking space/ burners for the amount of people

Comfy and great atmosphere

There was a lot of building in progress at the time of my visit and, clearly, when the work is finished, it will provide a fun, budget hostel, without any frills.

My room seemed new. It was very basic, but had a very comfortable bed and a useful private bathroom. The staff were wonderful.

The lounge area was great to chill out in

The brevity of shower water flow before turning off. We thought it was a bit expensive for three type of accommodation it was.

The weekend staff were wonderful. There was a Polish hostess who minded coffee hour and was SO friendly and interesting to talk to. The common room is fun. The beds were comfortable.

Writing it here in the reviews to no one else is unpleasantly surprised--the shower was one of the ones where you have to push for water every 20 seconds or so. Not the biggest deal, but I find those showers annoying. Also the water does get warm enough to be comfortable, but not super hot, so just a warning to those of you who are particular about that.

Cool place with a chill vibe. The room was clean and comfortable and bigger than I expected. Lots of parking out front and it was easy to find. I really liked how there were free yoga mats you could borrow.

The water temperature in the shower could have been a little warmer.

Great location and atmosphere. Fully equipped kitchen, everything is super clean.

Self check in was a bit complicated, facilites are too small for the amount of people who wants to have a breakfast at the same time.. A bit pushy approach from the staff before the check out time.

Very unique hostel, interesting set ups, equipped kitchen

Cool place to stay for a night on the northern peninsula. Really cozy chill place. Great if you like to interact with other travellers. Highly recommend orca and whale watching in Olafsvik. With Laki Tours

We had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The facility is impeccably clean and well-equipped, making it a perfect base for seeing the Northern Lights. The shared kitchen is fully stocked, allowing for easy meal preparation. A special mention goes to the common area, which feels like a friend's home—super cozy and spacious. It’s a great place to relax and connect with fellow travelers. The context, history, and artistic culture of the hostel are truly fascinating. Although we didn’t get a chance to attend any events, we thoroughly enjoyed playing games in the common room and meeting new people. When a small issue arose, the staff resolved it quickly and efficiently. The ladies running the hostel are absolutely lovely and provided excellent recommendations for nearby attractions. We highly recommend this hostel! Maximum rating! 🌟

The only thing that got me was that there was no one there to enforce common space guidelines. One of the last nights we were there, we had planned to make dinner to use up the rest of our food, however, a large group of Italians took over the entire kitchen to have a family meal. They did NOT get the hint to leave when several people kept bumping into them to try and get to the fridge. There are signs in a few different places that mentioned to "please eat in the common room, so that the kitchen didn't get too crowded," which i thought was amazing. But, this group brought chairs from different rooms just so sit around the big table and hang out and eat. There were a group of 3 that came in just before the posted hours of closing for the kitchen usage, myself and my partner, as well as another couple, all waiting to use the kitchen. We ended up eating way past 10 pm, which i felt terrible about in case I kept someone up. Anyway, that was really the only thing that was negative about the experience. It's not the staff's fault.

Loved the vibe of this place, the cleanliness, and the large kitchen. I like that it's also the community culture center for the town, so there was a musical performance on the Friday we were there, and lots of art everywhere! The bathrooms were private and clean and we'll maintained. The common space to hang out was fantastic and had so much space. There was also a bar with an honour system in place if there was no one there to take your money.

Good value for money for one night stop over on a roadtrip. I didn't explore the area much as we had bad weather. I can imagine when there's more going on it's more lively.

I booked it as it looked like a fun and funky place to stay. I reserved the private room with bathroom, it was all very clean. It was winter and a Tuesday so there was no live show or much action, but the staff were super friendly.
