Sleep on the street before staying here.
This ‘hostel’ is by far the worst I have ever stayed in. There are so many things wrong with this place that it is hard to understand how it has not been shutdown.
No attendant at reception at any point during my 4 night stay. You have to call a number
Dirty toilet and showering areas.
Kitchen in disarray and dirty.
Think a crack den except with normal people travelling and trying to make sense of what is going on. Don’t stay here.
I returned from my trip to find out I had been charged THREE times the cost of my booking. After 3 months of no email response or someone returning my call, I finally got speaking to the manager called Skapti. He said he would look into it and that it is most likely “human error” by his staff. No issue, I was happy to feel progress was being made. That is until I sat waiting again, now 6 weeks on and still no update, response or returned calls. Atrocious service.
Nice place to sleep and meet people from every culture. Everything is quite clean.
Location is amazing, right by the main strip of the city. Room was really clean and nice, beds super comfy!
Good location only A few minutes To the main shopping street. Comfortable hostel
Would not stay here again. The location is pretty good and maybe my experience was skewed as I stayed here over New Years. I expect to share bathrooms in guest houses etc. but there was one shared men's and one shared women's for too many people. During the seven times throughout the day/night I went to use the bathroom the women's was always occupied. Forced to use the men's - which was filthy, had a broken window where it appeared a rock had been thrown through, and ran out of toilet paper. Woke up to a very irate guest who was pounding on the door next to us and screaming for about 2 hours. No staff in sight and the situation was not dealt with.
The full kitchen was great, the location is pretty good, and the host at check in was fantastic.
That said, never coming back here again.
Very nice! But need better kitchen.
Amazing hostel and fabulous host. The hostel is situated at a great location and is very near to church and bus stop number 8 as well as Voyàger.
The kitchen is really dirty and there are no cutlery for something to bake and cook. There is no tea in the morning, and an arousing American woman works there!
Cheap and central Hostel in Reykjavik. Nice Rooms. However bathrooms and showers were pretty dirty and I was wondering at what time of the day they would clean them because I never found them clean.
Perfect location. 5 mins walk to church, high street and main bus station. 10 mins to harbour and seaside. Lovely interior decor and helpful stuff. Will definitely stay again!
Best place to stay in reykjavik with best service and staff. Loved it
Nice place to live in with friends and family
Nice rooms, nice bathroom. One of the most affordable options in Reykjavik.
Would be great if there are more showers Location is excellent.
The room it's self is nice but the kitchen has a broken fridge, hob, oven that aren't working either and apparently the only working ones in the hostel are in a tiny little building outside. The first night we tried to cook we were told it was closed for cleaning and because we couldn't store anything all the food we had just went off. It was even more annoying because it's so expensive to eat at restaurants.
Was ok
Above average, nice design, kitchen next to the entrance everybody can use.
Simple and automated. Beds are comfortable. Come with a towel and blankets.
The entrance is a bit hidden in the back, on lowest floor, it's got plenty of parking space in case you rented a car to go out exploring the rest of Iceland. Pretty good hostel, has some pretty cool wall art/decoration. Depending on what room you're in you might not get good Wifi signal.
The hostel looked really cool and it was clean. But there is no reception and no staff present after noon and throughout the night, which felt very weird since no one is around to answer questions or help with any problems that is the reason for low ratings.
