Hostel B47 was a great place to stay. It was easy walking distance to the Main Street and the kitchen facilities are fantastic! We got woken up each night by other residents who forgot the code and got locked out but this isn’t the hostel’s fault.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There is no reception and no visible staff on-site, but the room was clean and spacious, and had adjustable heating. The hot water has a sulfur-ish smell, but you get that with glacial water. The two different shower cubicles I used had the same tap setup (one for flow, another for temperature) but one cubicle had the water on a timer but nowhere to hang the showerhead, so you'd have to hold it all the time. The kitchen has 3 microwaves, 1 kettle, a hotplate and assorted pots/pans, enough cutlery and plates, a shelf unit for dry foods and a large upright fridge and provides labels for your food stuff. The lounge has 36 chairs & a 2 person lounge, and 6 high tables and 2 low tables.

Excellent accommodation!

This is a very clean hostel (including the shared bathroom!) in a convenient location in Reykjavik. We are a family ages 55, 54, 18, 17, and we would definitely stay again—even we parents would stay here if traveling on our own. We were very pleased and the savings allowed us a spa adventure!
