    Simply amazing. Place was tidy, nice and quiet. Staff is absolutely amazing. It's wee bit far from centre, but bus stop and shops are close. I can only recommend.

    They sent me wrong address. I was lucky that i could stay in the apartments and not have to move at 9pm with all my luggage to the hostel.

    I ended up a B14 apartments because the confirm the wrong address. But they manage to give me a room that was comfy. They have everything to cook

    - Bathrooms are located at common areas - No lockers provided

    Clean, and the location is fair. I read some reviews mentioning that the hostel is hard to find, but I think they have resolved the issue. Google Maps may not guide you to walk upstairs, but when you arrive, there is a large sign for B14 Hostel that directs you to go upstairs. Supermarkets nearby (24 hours).

    The bathrooms could have been less central as it felt a bit awkward coming out of the shower directly into the common main space. Also the rooms being close to the common space means there can be a bit of noise sometimes too but thats always to be expected a bit in hostels

    It was really clean and modern but also felt quite comfortable for a shared space. The curtains on the beds really helped. Free cereal and milk was great in the morning too. The location wasnt too bad. Its a bit far from the city centre but there are lost of shops, restaurants and supermarkets directly in the area which was helpful.

    Quality almost matches the price

    Instead of lockers, there are just IKEA containers below each bed. They should definitely install some lockable boxes - Iceland may be safe, but most of the other guests are not from there... The large dorm has just a tiny window, that cannot even be opened much to ventilate shock-wise. So you're left with a choice between constant slight cold or bad air quality. The absence of staff or any kind of greeting & advice feels strange - everything is automated. Overall the place does not facilitate social contact much. Also, some deals and discounts arranged with the local tour agencies would be nice.

    Situated in a retail park on 2nd floor, a bit hard to find. The good thing is, you can find affordable food in the 3 nearby major supermarkets. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking, even has an oven (no freezer though). There are plentiful bus lines to various parts of the city centre, however walking is also an option. A ZOO and a large hot water pool is in the vicinity.

    A little hard to find, at first. Parking was not clear, but we later found it. It wasn't clear which bedroom we were assigned to. The sheets were super itchy!!

    The check in was easy. All the codes worked great. The common areas were very big!

    When we arrived, there was a mess with numbering of the beds, therefore we had to take remaining upper beds, which is very difficult to climb to (no support, I had to basically jump down and I am tall person). One bed was also missing one side cover, so if you turn over at night you might fall down 2 meters. The hostel would need bit more care to be really good place to spend the night.

    The hostel has great equipment, good kitchen, living room to relax and quite comfortable beds with small curtains. Location is out of city centre but for the price its acceptable (bus is close-by).

    Showers are great, but NEED ventilation or something to keep the air flowing. Also our room had a weird smell.

    The hostel is great, beds are comfortable and private, share spaces are big, kitchen is well stocked and enough space for everything. Staff is really friendly and everything is always so clean. We were driving so for us it was really easy to get there.

    A little bit more explanation for how and where to park, as well as where the entrance is. I circled the parking lot very confused until I saw the signs in the window. But if there is an explanation already and I missed it, I am sorry!!

    Very clean, very quiet, friendly guests, very comfy mattress, felt very safe, fantastic kitchen, loved how flexible the policy is, great value!!

    We were moved to the B14 in Reykjavik city centre, very very centred! Great location, everything modern, new, designed, well organized and well equipped, wonderful accomodation and perfect to visit the city. Easy parking on the street around the hostel (payment parking only). Perfect stay! Thank you

    The location isn‘t very central and I didn‘t really feel so safe getting there alone late in the evening in the darkness. Also the staff was not as welcoming, at least it felt like this when communicating with them via E-Mail.

    The rooms were well-equipped and I really liked having my own curtain for the bed. The kitchen, bathroom and common area felt clean and looked nice.

    N/a about the place itself. Directions weren't super clear for walking given this address, which was unfortunate. Maybe include more details of how to get there in email with codes.

    Bed and bedding were super comfortable. Was in a room with 8 beds total, I think. Not all were occupied but was still quiet and enjoyable.
