Good place very clean. My room is next to the kitchen so it was quite noisy early evening. The public areas are well maintained.

The staff was so helpful and nice and for traveling from America it was nice that they knew English. Convenient with buses come to the building and have loads of atractions you can choose to do. Definitely recommend for any solo women, I had a mixed dorm and I left my things on my bed, super safe and chill.

Gino, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I booked this place as it was easy for transport options due to my flight times both from Keflavík and Reykjavik domestic. The bus to Keflavík would stop outside, and it was a hour walk to the domestic airport. It’s also 20mins walk into town which is easily do able or to the BSI - other bus terminal. The bunks don’t creak/ move as you climb onto them. The shower/ toilet facilities were lovely and warm after a long day out in the cold. The cooking facilities also great. Would recommend as also an easy place as a lot of tour pick ups can be arranged from this location.
hayley, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Was fine, clean. The bottom “bunks” were just mattresses on the floor and there were people living there so not exactly the best hostel vibe, but for one night it was fine.

10/10 Exceptional

I took the bus and it took me right to the hostel and driver got my luggage out. The rooms are not at the "road level" so you have to take your luggage on the next floor and there is no elevator. The front desk staff can help with the luggage. The 2 somewhat smaller fridges ( compared to the big fridge sizes in USA) in the kitchen were overflowing and not really clean from inside. There is no freezer. Bathrooms were clean. The 4 bed sharing room was decent size. I walked to the church and city. It was very safe and had free parking, if you have a car.

Araceli, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Not worth the exuberant price of $75 a night, but I guess that's just Iceland. Solo female traveler and felt safe in 16 person co-ed dorm. Private bathrooms were a big perk, and very clean. Room could have been ventilated better (a bit of a smell), but overall very clean. Location is a bit inconvenient if you're trying to explore town (~20 minute walk into downtown), but very convenient for airport bus transfers or tour transfers.
