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.

Location
Around a 20-30 minute walk to downtown/Hallgrimskirkja, but very convenient for airport and tour buses that stop outside. Several guests found nearby dining and shops limited and the location less convenient without a car.

Dining
No on-site dining is noted; guests rely on the shared kitchen, and some found the vending options poor or expensive. Nearby restaurants are limited, and the coffee machine's reception-only hours restrict early or late access.
