What guests think
Bus Hostel Reykjavik earns praise for friendly staff, generally clean shared spaces, and very convenient transport links with airport and tour buses stopping outside, while some guests find the walk to central sights long and nearby food options limited.
Rooms are basic and often quiet, but a few mention firm mattresses and warmth in sunny weather. The shower-toilet setup can cause queues at peak times. The kitchen is handy, though fridges get crowded and there's no freezer, and the coffee machine's limited reception hours frustrate early or late users. Overall, it's a budget-friendly, practical base best suited to travelers prioritizing value and bus connections over a central location.

Facilities
Airport and tour buses pick up and drop off at the entrance, making logistics easy. The shared kitchen is useful but fridges can be crowded and there's no freezer; the shower-toilet combo can create queues, and the coffee machine follows reception hours.
