    Elevator was unpredictable.

    The location was central, at the top of a hill near tourist attractions. A supermarket was nearby, and a fantastic public pool was next door. We had probably the best room in the house, a private double with sink and mini fridge.

    No hostel sanctioned activities or laundry facilities - though there was a good laundromat service nearby (within walking distance)

    I liked that it was simple accomodation yet all needs were met. I also liked the locale as it was close to a popular bus stop, walkable to groceries and eateries as well as scenic areas in the city.

    The location is perfect! I may be good at orienteering but thanks to the towering Lutheran Church nearby you always kind of know where you are in relation to the hostel. A quick walk to central bus station and so much else!

    The lack of effective noise barriers meant that I was constantly disturbed by sounds from the corridor. This led to me going to bed much later than I had planned and waking up earlier than desired due to the constant noise. If you value a good night's sleep, I would recommend looking for alternative accommodations that prioritize better soundproofing.

    This hostel is in a prime location, making it easy to explore the city. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Plus, the option to leave your luggage before check-in or after check-out is a great bonus.

    Kitchen was good but could have more stoves, microwaves and especially sinks.

    Clean bedrooms, bathrooms were mostly clean but a couple of times not much. Location was good, people were quiet and silent most of the time. Easy check in.

    People staying here seem to be less social, or older, or families. On the other hand, this might also be a good thing in terms of cleanliness

    Shared facilities, but relatively clean. Towels are free, also replacement towels

    This is not about the hostel itself, but it looked like it is frequented mainly by family or adults, not really a young and stimulating environment.

    Very clean hostel in a good position, very close to the big church and the 2 main streets. Staff helpful and kind but not really warm.

    Nothing to say! It was a great stay as usual!

    As with my previous stays, Baron's delivered! Check-in was quick and simple, and the room was impressive and comfortable after long flights! Just being able to go from the airport to the BSÍ and then taking a short walk to the hostel is also a plus. Loved the room I got this time too, very bright! I appreciated the free tea and coffee, and getting supplies was easy as well given the Baron's closeness to shops. The staff as always was helpful! Back in Reykjavík later this year, and definitely staying here again. It's a great home base each time I return to Iceland!

    There are almost no shelves to temporarily store your belongings so one needs to keep packing and unpacking every single day. Also in the showers, furniture is lacking.

    The kitchen is amazing and well equiped. There are very many toilets and showers. The beds are comfortable.

    The kitchen utensils need to be bought new. the nonstick pans were worn out. Many of them couldn't be properly places on the electric stove.

    The location was really good for the price. The hostel in charge was a nice person and very helpful. There is a church in front of the hostel and is the second tallest building in Iceland (after Smáratorg Tower). There were a lot of fancy shops and restaulants at a walkable distance.
