What guests think
At Hostel B47, travelers highlight the central, walkable location and easy self check in by codes, while noting limited on site staff; many found the property clean and good value, though shared facilities can feel busy at peak times.
Guests frequently praise the kitchen and free parking, though luggage storage uses paid lockers outside. Rooms are generally spacious and basic with comfortable beds, but some report noise, occasional Wi-Fi weak spots, and mattresses that feel worn. Service feedback is mixed: staff are described as friendly and responsive via messages, yet a few guests lacked entry codes or encountered check in glitches and early housekeeping knocks. Overall, expect a simple, central, self service stay.

Good location, self check in / check out system is good but there’s not luggage room for the guests to leave their luggage before check in time. I have to pay the luggage locker (just outside the hostel) instead, wasn’t happy about it.

Die Lage der Unterkunft war super und auch die kostenlosen Parkplätze waren klasse. Jedoch wurde überall mit Schildern gewarnt, dass Autos die keinen Hostelgästen gehörten abgeschleppt werden. Jedoch konnte man sich und auch sein Auto in keinster Weise irgendwo registrieren, sodass ich Angst hatte abgeschleppt zu werden. Das Hostel hat keine Rezeption und auch keine aktiv ansprechbaren Mitarbeitenden waren vor Ort. Das Zimmer war groß und sauber, sowie das Badezimmer/die Duschen. Das Bett war schon eher durchgelegen, aber akzeptal.

The room was great overall. It is spacious and clean. Kitchen is fine. It have all the essential and oven, however, there is not enough dinning space. The place always got crowed during dinner time. The lounge kept closed until my last day. Some hair dryer also not working.

Hostel B47 was a great place to stay. It was easy walking distance to the Main Street and the kitchen facilities are fantastic! We got woken up each night by other residents who forgot the code and got locked out but this isn’t the hostel’s fault.

I stayed for 2 nights with tween age kids. The room was clean and it was nice getting a towel. Great to have sink in the room. The kitchen had a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. We got the codes for doors to let ourselves in via email. Saw staff cleaning but had no interaction with any staff. The location was walkable to bus etc. We needed a place to store bags for a few hours on last day. The storage lockers outside were convenient, if expensive for just a few hours. I'm not sure what I would have done if they were all full though.

Be aware that there is no reception. You need to receive a sms for your room number and code that i didn't received, so you have to writd them an email. You are by yourself. No option for late checkout, they don't allow. You can leave your luggage in lockers for $20 or more depending of the size.

The property was very close to the downtown areas and the church nearby, bubt that was it. The hostel is basic barebones, just some bunk beds and shared bathrooms. Bathrooms were not clean and kitchen was ok. So if you need a place to stay and only need to crash for a few hours, this place is perfect.

This is a very clean hostel (including the shared bathroom!) in a convenient location in Reykjavik. We are a family ages 55, 54, 18, 17, and we would definitely stay again—even we parents would stay here if traveling on our own. We were very pleased and the savings allowed us a spa adventure!

No reception staff. Three people approached me needing help to find their rooms. They had no emails after 1500 with the necessary info needed with room number and codes. Poor mattresses. Anytime anyone moved in bed the springs squeezed. I stayed in room 100 and around 0030 you could hear loud pounding upstairs and constant moving of what sounded like heavy chairs/furniture. The hall smells of faint sewer all the tome. Price was ok but won’t be back. Only convenience is great location.

I like the diming option where you can cook your food, condiments provided, pots, pans, dishes are available for you to use. There are left food from prwvious guests that you can take if you want. The wifi connection though isnt the best in our room. The router isn't reachable enough on the farthest area. We usually stays in the kitchen or the reception area so we can get a wifi. The resr is ok. Rooms fine, few shower rooms and bathroom outside oir room. There's sink inside the room at least for you to use to brush uour teeth.

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!

空港からのシャトルバスが到着するBSIバスターミナルから徒歩圏なのが便利だった。そこがツアーの集合場所でもあり何回か利用した。 ホステルの入り口は分かりづらい。 ピンコードを事前に伝えてくれなかったのでホステルに入れず。 レセプションに人がいると聞いたがレセプションすらコードがないと入れない。 たまたまホステルから人が出てきたので入れたが。 どういう神経なんだろう。

Everything was fine until the housekeeper (a young guy) started knocking in the morning. Check out at 11 o'clock, he started knocking and immediately opened the door at 9 o'clock in the morning - it's terrible! When I opened it, he couldn't really explain what he needed from me so early.

I stayed in one bedroom not shared. Its clean, quiet and I like that I can lock the door when I use the bathroom. Its 3 blocks away from the church and walkable to Reykjavik downtown. Also, another reason i stayed in this hostel is that they have free parking. I would definitely stay again if given a chance i come back to Reykjavik area. Highly recommended. :D Thank you for an awesome stay that made my first trip to Iceland a memorable one. See again next time.

Hostel B47 is ideally positioned centrally near to the main shopping area and not far from bus station. Also it is only a five minute walk from the Halgrims church which has a very high tower. Easy to find your way back to the Hostel as the tower makes a good marker.

Hostel is conveniently located. Bathrooms were clean. Will point out that the kitchen was a bit messy and didn't see any staff. Make sure to bring shampoo. That is not provided. Overall would recommend

Dining
Communal kitchen is handy and generally well equipped for cooking, though dining space can be limited and it gets crowded at dinner. A few mention available breakfast or snacks.

The room was great overall. It is spacious and clean. Kitchen is fine. It have all the essential and oven, however, there is not enough dinning space. The place always got crowed during dinner time. The lounge kept closed until my last day. Some hair dryer also not working.

Hostel B47 was a great place to stay. It was easy walking distance to the Main Street and the kitchen facilities are fantastic! We got woken up each night by other residents who forgot the code and got locked out but this isn’t the hostel’s fault.

Tolles Hostel mit netten Inhabern mitten in Reykjavik. Super um die Stadt zu erkunden. Es gibt alles vor Ort. Frühstück, Snacks und Bier ;-). Super Parkmöglichkeiten.

I stayed for 2 nights with tween age kids. The room was clean and it was nice getting a towel. Great to have sink in the room. The kitchen had a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. We got the codes for doors to let ourselves in via email. Saw staff cleaning but had no interaction with any staff. The location was walkable to bus etc. We needed a place to store bags for a few hours on last day. The storage lockers outside were convenient, if expensive for just a few hours. I'm not sure what I would have done if they were all full though.

I like the diming option where you can cook your food, condiments provided, pots, pans, dishes are available for you to use. There are left food from prwvious guests that you can take if you want. The wifi connection though isnt the best in our room. The router isn't reachable enough on the farthest area. We usually stays in the kitchen or the reception area so we can get a wifi. The resr is ok. Rooms fine, few shower rooms and bathroom outside oir room. There's sink inside the room at least for you to use to brush uour teeth.

Leider anderes Zimmer als ursprünglich gebucht, erhalten. Angeblich soll der Fehler bei Expedia liegen, dass falsche Bilder hinterlegt sind. War leider alles ausgebucht und musste dies so hinnehmen. Nicht schön. Ansonsten fehlen mir in den Bädern, Ablagemöglichkeiten und Haken für die Kleidung oder Handtücher. Küche recht klein. Ansonsten aber nett.

Het gebouw is een oud gezondheidscentrum, maar door de hippe inrichting, wandschilderingen, het kleurenschema en de gezellige eetzaal/het restaurant heb je dat niet in de gaten. We voelden ons meteen heel welkom en op ons gemak. Het hostel is behoorlijk groot en er zouden wel meer douches en wc's bij kunnen, maar wij waren vroeg op en hadden daardoor alle tijd. De hygiëne in de badkamer zou wat beter kunnen, maar dat is waarschijnlijk een gevolg van het bovenstaande: te weinig badfaciliteiten voor wat veel mensen, maar vies is het zeker niet. Kamer was oké, schoon, niks luxe maar prima bedden. De medewerkers waren supervriendelijk en het ontbijt geweldig!

You won’t actually interact with any staff at this hostel since everything is all digital, which is fine until you have an issue. Location is good, cleanliness could be better. Our room had a crooked painting, wonky lock, and paint peeling from the window but it was comfortable for a night. The building itself is a labyrinth with random hallways but there are signs which helps.

The place was just a bunch disrespectful people that don’t care about your travel not looking to make it comfortable. Just looking to get their paycheck and go home and the place is disgusting in America. I wouldn’t stay there for free thumbs down👎
