    Like everywhere in Iceland it’s pricey.

    A nice simple hostel. Clean, quiet, good for a place to stay. Not a party hostel. Good location

    Seems like you have to take an elevator to be able to enter and exit. I could not find the proper stairway.

    Amazing location, and just a very well renovated, well though-out hostel. The common kitchen area has an amazing view. Everything felt very modern and secure. It was perfect for a hostel stay.

    Privacy curtains for the bunks would have been nice. Also, not the property's fault, but my room had a few inconsiderate guests who would slam the door in the middle of the night but that's the risk you run with all hostels!

    Location was great, staff were really helpful, and good value for money overall

    These are generally quite minor: An underbed box would have been very useful, maybe being able to padlock it (would be a good substitute for the shoebox-sized safe). A bed side light would have been handy. Would have liked something similar to curtains by the bed, for a bit of privacy/cover from the dorm light at night

    Great location, good kitchen facilities, lift/elevator to all floors (required to enter, but nice to have after a busy day!). Reception told me what I needed to know about staying here. Generally satisfied!

    Kitchen could be a little better appointed- most of the utensils are worn. Showers and washrooms don't have towel racks or hangers.

    Quiet and comfortable place in a good location, great service and a good set of amenities.

    The entrace to the correct hostel can be a bit tricky to find.

    Free parking and elevator is a huge plus. The room itself was quite small but plenty of space in the common room to hang out and chill so not a problem. Spacious bathrooms (wish they had hooks to hang our clothes and towels though). Friendly staffs.

    I had difficulty to enter into hostel when I first arrived at 01:00 a.m.although I was given entrance door code, I was trapped as elevator did not work. Me and other 2 guest had to search and wait for half an hour to find someone to allow us in. It was annoying to face this in the middle of the night.

    Location is great.

    I wish there was a better communal area, even if there was no bar something more organised.

    I think generally the hostel is in a good location, close to the city. The 4 bedroom is quite pleasant.

    There wasn't really anything I noticed that needed improving on.

    It was a nice space. Really good Kitchen facilities and spacious areas. The beds were typical hostel level, but it was definitely worth the money. Such a good location in Reykjavik as well; two minutes and you're in the centre!

    Some guests using saucepans to eat from rather than plates preventing others from preparing meals. No pegs in the showers I used to hang clothes and towel. Kitchen area untidy as inevitably a small minority aren't able to clean up after themselves.

    Very convenient for City. Comfortable bed.Free parking.

    Some bigger storage for clothes and belongings during the stay would be very useful.

    Very good location, everything is in walkable distance. Grocery stores are also available with 5 min walk. Kitchen view is to the famous church! I saw the staff cleaning the whole place, and it was extremely thorough. You will not find any fingerprints after they are done! Heating was on all the time, you will not be cold ( I was worried about this) Altogether it is a good hostel for short stays, I recommend.

    We had an exceptional corner room filled with light on the top floor with a view of the church and very good connections. We were visiting for a conference at Harpa, which was just a brief walking distance away. What a lovely place all in all, the kitchen worked perfectly. Very friendly staff and neighbours, could not have asked for anything better.

    Once a guest filled the coffee maker to the BRIM with the free coffee provided. This has nothing to do with the hostel, but just a note that not all guests know how to use a coffee maker. 🥲I left a note so hopefully it doesn’t happen again.

    I enjoyed my stay and the Wi-Fi and kitchen were great! I loved the free food bin which I raided regularly. The beds were comfy, and a complimentary towel was provided which most hostels don’t have! Plus free coffee and tea!!
