"Room and bathroom were fine as well as the kitchen area. The only issue is that if you stay one day they do not provide you towels, you can rent one for 500ISK but this is not mentioned in the information provided. You will discover this only once you check-in and if the reception is already closed you risk not to get them."

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hostel itself is perfectly located to be able to walk around the shopping and restaurant part of Reykjavik. The dormitories were perfectly adequate, though if you're not very limber, you might want to request a lower bunk and not an upper one. Bathrooms were very clean and lots of lovely hot water."

8/10 Good
"Very nice and clean hotel. The staff were very helpful and attentive. It's a good place to stay when visiting Iceland, just be aware that it's about a 20 min drive to Reykjavik. The breakfast was a bit underwhelming and there wasn't a fridge in the room, but other than that, we had a great stay!"
