At The Freezer Hostel & Culture Center, travelers describe a creative, hostel-style stay with newly refurbished rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient base for exploring the peninsula, alongside occasional noise, small showers, and mixed cleanliness.
Guests highlight a spacious lounge with games and live music and appreciate the shared kitchen, though a few mention limited cooking capacity or dim lighting. Accommodation spans modern private rooms and dorms; recurring notes include compact layouts and limited storage, with dorms lacking lockers or privacy curtains. Service is widely described as warm and helpful, though one reviewer reported refund difficulties, and the remote village setting offers few amenities. Expect a social, artsy hostel suited to flexible travelers.

Auberge de jeunesse atypique (deco, music live certains soirs, immense salle commune pour se détendre en journée ou soirée) Le patron l’annonce d’entrée : ici, pas de règle ! Dommage, certains en profite. C’est la seule fois de notre séjour de 17 jours qu’on a trouvé de la vaisselle sale dans l’évier.

Self service check it. The theme of Aurora rooms a a bit scary But I booked family room and it looks like a recently renovated place and it is okay. Clean and tidy, the shared kitchen is lacking lights and a bit dark, the common area is really a gem of this guest house, has the mojo of youth hostel.

This is a good value hostel for exploring the peninsula. We stayed in the Time Machine Room - which had 4 bunk beds in it. There are no lockers or privacy curtains, but the blackout curtains work really really well. They also provide some great 3M ear plugs for free. The kitchen is a good size and we were able to cook breakfast and dinner without fighting for space. Lovely huge common room which also doubles as a bar/live music venue/and hosts a theatre. Unfortunately nothing was on when we stayed (Mon/Tuesday night) but they do have events on Thurs/Fri/Sat. There were two bathrooms for the hostel, and I was worried about queuing but ended up having no issues at all using a bathroom when needed. Rif is a very small fishing harbour/village and there isn't really anything to do in Rif itself - you'll want to get out and about. Parking was easy.

This hostel definitely has a fun vibe and a good atmosphere. My husband and I stayed in a private room with a private bathroom and thought it was a decent night's sleep. The kitchen area isn't the best because there is only one stove, so only one group can be cooking at a time, which makes it difficult to guarantee that you will be eating when you want and means you either have to start early before the dinner rush or wait until the previous group is done.

Freezer Hostel is a combination of hotel rooms and hostel/camping accommodations. It has an artsy vibe and good shared amenities including a kitchen and a very welcoming common area where they host live music and other events on weekends. We cannot speak to the rooms at the property itself because our room was not available upon arrival due to an electricity issue. While this was poorly communicated before our arrival, the host more than made up for this by being super helpful when we arrived and by housing us in an alternative apartment around the corner that was definitely an upgrade from the single room with private bath we had booked. The staff were so friendly and I wish we would have had time to come back to the hostel to enjoy their events but we were always too tired from touring. I would return to this property in a heart beat. It seems like a very warm and inviting place to stay.

Belle découverte que ce lieu mêlant culture et hébergement. Il est encours de rénovation. Les chambres sont toutes neuves et pourvues d’une douche et wc. La salle commune en plus de la cuisine est spacieuse, agréable avec ses grands fauteuils et canapés. Au calme, par contre pas de commerce dans le village.

We had the family room with a private bathroom. It was very new and clean. The shower was a little tricky though as the curtain did not go all the way down to the floor so water can easily get out. Also, it would be even better if there's a desk in the room. The two small stools were not enough for the 4 of us to put our stuff. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Room was NOT sound proof as per website and it was v v loud w banging doors, kitchen clatter, talking, music till about 11 pm. I could find only 2 bathrooms for lots and lots of people.

Since this is a hostel, they have shared bathrooms which I didn't realize while booking. They also have some rooms with attached bathroom. When we got there to check in the person there told us there were some repairs going on and there was no hot water. We decided to find a different place and she mentioned she will contact the manager to get us a refund as no one was available. I contacted them from the booking site a day later and they refused to give a refund. Overall the place is decent and lady who showed us the room etc. was very nice but the management has been terrible and keep refusing to give us a refund of our booking even though its their fault.

This place is really wonderful. The staff is very friendly, and there is a lot of space to relax and feel at home, and a fully stocked kitchen for making meals. The only minor complaint I have is the shower for the front dorms, you can't adjust the water temperature yourself, it's already pre-set, and it's lukewarm at best, and also a camp shower so you have to continuously hit a button to get water. So, in the winter that's a little rough. So I recommend booking the back room with the private bathroom if you are really into hot showers. :D Other than that, I loved it here!

Belle découverte que ce lieu mêlant culture et hébergement. Il est encours de rénovation. Les chambres sont toutes neuves et pourvues d’une douche et wc. La salle commune en plus de la cuisine est spacieuse, agréable avec ses grands fauteuils et canapés. Au calme, par contre pas de commerce dans le village.

Close to attractions. Outside look was not good and dirty. Bathroom has only one dark color towel, doesn’t look clean. Bedsheet was dark color too.

Staying at the Freezer Hostel was unique. It had delightful art and provided an opportunity to meet people. We reserved a family room for 4 people and the double bed was really small for two adults. It was a great location to check out some if the sights in the National park.

Assez surpris à l’arrivée (dans une petite zone d’activité puisque le bâtiment est une ancienne poissonnerie). Le concept est un mix entre dortoirs et chambres individuelles. Ce qu’on a pris avec sdb personnelle (Aurora3). Cuisine commune si ça vous tente, et un salon bar très sympa pour déjeuner, jouer, lire ou soirée. Un concert soft un soir. Super. Chambre très correcte et on craignait le bruit des activités mais pas du tout. Belle expérience

this place is pretty far from restaurants but our main priority was to have a safe place to sleep for 1 night before we continued on our journey and it was perfect for that. they have a great common lounge that looked stocked with games, but we were so tired from hiking and driving all day that we didnt get to use this. there are lots of great and funky art pieces on the property and paints on the walls. thank you for a great stay!

Very good location just off of the highway. We were taken aback a bit by the outside appearance but once inside, found it to be inviting and our room with a private bath was great. We enjoyed the artwork on our wall and found the gentleman checking us in to be very helpful and friendly. While this property was outside of the type of properties we stay at, we enjoyed out stay and would definitely stay again.

It was very clean and check in instructions were clear. It would be nice to have towels included but understandable as a hostel. We wish there was an after hours machine to rent towels. Breakfast was good for the area.

A unique spot on our Ring Road travels - you have to experience it. Excellent location, newly renovated rooms, along with existing large lounging and kitchen areas. The sense of history and community permeates through those walls.
