Took some time to get the entrance code. Had to call and wait for a response even though I had payed the day before. Not a single employee on location. Kitchen great, showers aplenty. Be prepared, stinky shower water due to the sulfur and towels rough and unwelcoming. We had room 105, ( sleeps 4) that room located near common area. You will hear everything, don’t forget the earplugs. The door to the room is very LOUD so if you will be VERY aware when one of your roommates uses the bathroom in the night. The beds are comfortable, pillows are adequate and bedding warm. Room is large with curtains to block out the light. The WiFi is good and charging available through the hairdryer (also provided) mounted on the wall. Located within walking distance to town and noise level from outside good BUT you will hear church bells! On a rating of 1-10 I am would give this a solid 7.

Excellent location – easy to find from the BSI bus terminal (just a short 12-15 minute walk). The facilities are decent and clean for a hostel. What really stood out was the staff’s responsiveness: we had a few questions before arrival and they replied to emails extremely quickly. One morning we woke up to find the power had tripped – the emergency number on the whiteboard worked perfectly, and the staff member responded politely and promptly to help us. This level of support is incredibly valuable when traveling. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and convenient base in Reykjavík!
