I came to B-14 from a partial hike on the hut-to-hut Laugevegur Hiking Trail. I needed something economical and available for the same night. As a mature female traveling alone, I figured if I could stay in trail huts, I could stay in a hostel. I was super pleasantly surprised to find a welcoming, friendly, very clean and comfortable accommodation. I slept better than I had in a few nights! I would definitely recommend this hostel to others.

I was a little bit disappointing I was left outside without a key or a code to get in, but after one night here I extended my stay three more nights because it's so clean and so immaculate but it's actually nicer than some hotels I've stayed at. I had a 12 bunk room and I only had to share it with one other person. Very clean, and extremely luxurious, which, for a hostel, is basically unheard of

Friendly staff and some nice decor touches let down by a simple lack of amenities for a property that accommodates this many people. Two showers/toilets made for a long wait at times. The property appears to have been converted from another use. On the plus side the bed was comfortable and clean and the kitchen area was if anything over-equipped! Location was outside the city main area but a nice flat walk into town so no issues there.

As much as a appreciate a clean facility the staff mopped the floors before check out time. This left the bathrooms useable as the floors and facilities were wet with residue. It would of been nice to have a list of amenities including in check in or listed upon arrival. The staff said hello upon arrival but did not introduce who she was I thought she was just another person staying there until she walked into the room labeled staff.

The cheapest, but not a good value for money.
The cheapest hostel of the city, but there's a reason why... it's far from the city center, it's inside a commercial buiding, the service is rather poor (staff doesn't care, no welcoming,....), no towel included, you need to pay for it. Despite the curtains on bed, there's very little privacy, the place is small. It's noisy, the entrance is right next of the room I was and people were staying there speaking and laughing loudly (including a staff woman).... the living room was used by the staff as a dryer for bed linens (I never saw something like that before). The beds are very tired and noisy (everytime you move a little, it makes some noise), the bed linen doesn't even fit correctly the mattress in my case. There's only two showers for all the people in that place... Maybe the only good part was the wifi that was working fairly well and was free at least. So yeah, it might be cheap but it's worth the price, don't expect a better value for money than other places....

Just few words on this rental, I shared room with 6 bunker beds, it's not very roomy place, there's a privacy curtain, which helps. The bed sheets and pillows are in rather poor conditions and needs replacement, electrical outlet and and light on my private side didn't work but there is a greeting room with table that has a lot of outlets. They have free breakfast, good kitchen and cooking area. So overall my experience was just ok.

Great first experience
My first time in a hostel but felt right at home. The people there were so great and Susan was there for me when I needed her. With the window open I had a great comfortable sleep. They only bad thing i have to say was that it too me hours to find the place. If you take the gray line buses you can picked up and dropped off right at the door and avoid the trouble of finding the place.

Check-in à la dérive, chambre claustrophobique
Une auberge de jeunesse difficile à trouver, cela donne l'impression d'être caché. Les espaces, surtout dans les chambres, ne sont pas très étendues, et même si l'établissement en général est propre, mon lit n'était pas net, il y avait quelques poils. Les lits superposés sont presque en touchant le plafond, et le lit ne permet pas un bon sommeil. Concernant le check-in, selon Expedia l'heure d'arrivée pouvait être à 14h, j'étais là quelques minutes plus tard mais je n'ai pas reçu le digicode pour entrer. Au téléphone, une dame pas du tout proactive, m'a dit que le code arrive toujours dans ma boîte e-mail, mais qu'elle va me l'envoyer par SMS, mais cela jamais a eu lieu, et j'ai pas recu le code par e-mail sinon après 16h. Une personne gentille qui travaille là m'a permit d'entrer et de me donner la chambre, merci à lui. L'hôtel a des toilettes et salles de bain séparés (ce qui un français peut aimer) et une cuisine où on peut se cuisiner et garder la nourriture. Emplacement très éloignée du centre et des points intéressantes de Reykjavik.

El hostal está bien, básico para pasar la noche, tiene parqueo lo que lo hace bastante cómodo si rentas carro, más no está cerca del centro si quieres caminar. Tiene market cerca y tambien lugares para comer, bastante práctico. Puede mejorar algunas cosas, quizá como no hay nadie ni recepción, enviar más info por mail así todos son más ordenados al estar allí. Pero para quedarse allí y salir a conocer fuera de la ciudad es muy buena ubicación.

車が無いと不便なホステル
ホステルは新しく綺麗でしたが、郊外にある為、交通アクセスが悪くタクシーに頼らざるを得ませんでした。スタッフは今まで利用した宿泊施設のなかでは最悪でした。多分オーナーの指示でしょうが、空港までのシャトルサービスが有ると書いて有るにもかかわらず、ネット検索して自分で予約しなさいでしたし、タクシーもタクシー会社を検索して自分で電話、何か聞いても知らない自分で探せと言う感じででした。

Very nice hostel on the outskirts of town
The check in is easy, the facilities are spotless, the common area is great for relaxing, and the staff is excellent. One of the best hostels I have ever been to. My only "complaint" would be that the bunks should be anchored to the ceiling as it tends to wobble a bit. Would most defiantly recommend this hostel.

Modernes, sauberes Hostel
Das Hostel war echt schön, da sehr modern und top eingerichtet - man hat einen Gasherd mit Backofen sowie Mikrowellen etc. zur freien Nutzung, Kochutensilien und auch ein paar Gewürze stehen zur Verfügung. Vom Betreiber des Hostels werden kostenlos Cornflakes und Milch zur Verfügung gestellt. Wird fast täglich sauber gemacht. In der Nähe sind direkte Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Bushaltestellen. Bis zum Stadtzentrum sind es ca. 4-5 km. Eines der wenigen Mankos waren die Toiletten - insgesamt gibt es nur eine Toilette mit Dusche und eine Dusche - bei Maximalbelegung leider echt suboptimal. Man kann noch die Toilette des Geschäftes nebenan mitbenutzen, aber auch hier wären es dann nur insgesamt 3 Toiletten (eine davon für Frauen). Alles in allem aber auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!
