Bon rapport qualité prix

Basé à côté du site de la cascade, au calme et à proximité de la route 1, établissement rénové, chambre petite mais avec le nécessaire, sanitaire propre.

We enjoyed Skogar hostel! We arrived late after a hike and left early before a long commute to another glacier hike. The staff member checking us in was very friendly, the beds were more comfortable than we anticipated, and the kitchen was well equipped. There was an issue with one of the showers not properly functioning (no hot water and the faucet was wonky), but the other two of us showered fine. It is noteworthy that guests must strip their own linen in the morning and put them into laundry bins - which we were fine with. Overall, a good stay for 3 women travelling who booked a room with a bunk bed and single bed. Not certain it the price was aligned with value, but we are only three nights into our adventure.

Only 2 Toiletts for the whole Hostel, in the morning you will always wait... Kitchen has not very basic stuff like salt for free... In my 2 bed room was an insect... Good is the location. Closest possible location to Skogafalls. But would not be critical to find some other place in this area, because next to the waterfall is a large parking place. Good is also the big kitchen and except salt etc. rest is available. Also around 6 showers available, not critical

Location is amazing. Just in front of waterfall. Also good location to see Aurora. Would definitely recommend.

Great location, next to tourist waterfall and start of long-distance hiking trail. Hotel, restaurant and hostel all in the same complex. Helpful staff at check-in. Good facilities in hostel - bathrooms, kitchen and dining areas. There's not really a proper lounge despite that being suggested in the property description - just a couple of armchairs in a corridor with a TV fixed to the wall. Unfortunately the washing machine was broken during my stay. No location facilities in the village, like a grocery shop; the nearest is more than 20km away.

Passez votre chemin si vos moyens le permettent

Auberge de jeunesse viellotte par rapport au reste de l'Islande. Chambre exigue. Restauration au restaurant de plus faible qualité de tout notre séjour en Islande.

Corners cut from the hostel

Room was very dirty like brown streaks underneath the mattress. The sheets were not really that clean and the floors were super sticky in places. The cost was not so expensive so it’s alright if you need a cheap place to stay.

Prima hostel met aardige medewerkers

Prima plek om te slapen na het lopen van de Laugavegur. Aardige mensen, goede service, goede douches en een prima uitgerust hostel. Het ontbijt is prima, vers en uitgebreid. Ga vooral naar het nabijgelegen museum om te zien hoe de IJslanders vroeger leefden en hun technologische ontwikkeling.
