We had a great stay here, mainly because we got in early and were able to make full use of the free washing machine and dryer (you have to bring your own detergent though), as well as the kitchen. There were not many pots/pans provided in the kitchen, so had there been more people, this could have been frustrating, but that was not our experience. We also note that they seem to have added more hot plates based on advice in the reviews. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, a kettle, a microwave, and hot plates, as well as most necessary utensils to make a simple meal. There were plenty of bathrooms, though note that these are all on one side of the building. They also smell a bit weird, but we think that's just the Iceland water. There is one washing machine and one dryer, but we used both and had no issues. The soundproofing between the rooms and the main lounge was really good—we couldn't hear quite a large, loud group at night time and were shocked when we went there in the evening and noted that they were all chatting. The soundproofing to the hallway from the rooms wasn't as great though. The bedroom and common area were clean and in good condition. The bunkbed was a bit squeaky, but the beds were comfortable.

It seem, they build a prison and are now booking the cells as rooms. The only difference is, the windows could be opened. Bed is so loud, as soon as one moves just a slightest bit, all in the room are awake. It was one of the worst nights I had in a very long time, and I'm travelling since 2 months. In the morning, we woke by some stranger standing in our room, although we did lock the door!! The cleaning staff checked between 8:30 and 11:30 several times, if we had checked out already, although check out is 12 o'clock. Did felt very pushed! I'm used to hostels and Airbnb and camping,so do not have that high standards, if I pay that price for a bed and a room, I definitely expect a bit more or a price at least half of it. Recommendation: even if other rooms in other hostels or hotels or whatever are more expensive, it is worth every cent/krona!!!

Nice, affordable and peaceful.

Upgraded to the private cabins (same owner) and was not disappointed. Beautiful small town and the host was very kind.

This was such a cute little hostel! The kitchen was very cosy and had everything that someone might need. There were lots of washrooms so never had to wait. The rooms were really cozy and everything was very clean. Will be coming back here on our next trip!

Don’t let the outside of the building scare you away. The inside is clean, plenty or WC, kitchen is small but adequate. Hostel is a self check in. Only downside was I had to call and message for room and code. Other than that, it was great.

Stay away! Black mold all over window frames. Beds are cheap children's bunk beds that i was afraid would collapse. Mattress worn and uncomfortable. Bathrooms smelled of feces. In the kitchen only one outlet works so the refrigerator (which froze our milk) must be unplugged to use anything that requires power.

Ceci est une auberge bas de gamme. Les commodités nécessaires sont correcte, mais ne vous attendez pas à du luxe. Nous y sommes resté 4 nuits. Chaque jour il y vait des groupes organisés qui restaient pour une nuit, donc certains soir étaient très bruyants. Il n'y a pas de personnel sur place, pas de réception, donc pas de soutien sur place. J'ai demandé à changer de chambre par courriel et j'ai pu le faire la journée suivante. On m'a répondu dans un délais de 2 heures suivant mon courriel. Si vous êtes jeunes et voulez payer peu pour votre séjour, je vous le recommande quand même.

Lack of on site personnel made things a bit difficult as other guests kept coming in late and banged on the door at midnight when they couldn’t get the code to work to enter the property. Showers were cleaned but had a bit of sewage smell. Showers could use some upgrades.

Convenable mais très basique. Les chambres n'étaient pas aérées, il y avait donc une odeur forte en arrivant; et certaines salles de bain étaient sales. La cuisine est très basique également.

Experiencia única y solitaria

Fue una experiencia extraña porque estuvimos solos en un sitio con 26habitaciones. Las camas son un poco incómodas y en la habitación el espacio es justo. La sala de estar es acogedora pero la cocina es ínfima para albergar a esas habitaciones cuando esté lleno. Es imposible cocinar habiendo solo una placa. Los baños están bien y en el primero hay una lavadora y secadora. Están muy nuevas solo te tienes que llevar tu jabón. La limpieza cuando fuimos estaba bien

El lugar en si es bueno para pasar una noche. Se veía todo limpio. Accesible y check in fácil. Tienes varios baños lo cual es bueno. Las cortinas de los baños huelen mal. Huelen como a sudor. Deben cambiarlas y lavarlas con frecuencia. Realmente fue asqueante. A las huéspedes… sean mas empáticos. Si saben que todo se escucha sean más ordenados y silenciosos. No tienen q ser tan ordinarios. Bajen la voz y no den tantos cantazos.

Très médiocre

J'ai dû écrire 2 fois jusqu'au dernier jour pour recevoir enfin les infos de check in (code de la boite à clefs). Les lits superposés sont très bruyants (lorsque la personne du haut bouge, l'autre est réveillé par le mouvement et le bruit). Les sanitaires (communs) sont mal entretenus. Seules 5-6 chambres étaient occupées lors de notre séjour, mais je n'ose imaginer ce que cela donne lorsque les 30 chambres le sont !!! Je devais payer sur place, mais n'ayant croisé personne du staff, j'ai été débité sans autre forme de procès quelques jours après la fin de mon séjour. Cela renforce l'impression de laisser-aller général de cet établissement.
