    For the fact that this place is advertised as a hostel it really exceeded my expectations. Everything was very clean and the size of the rooms was great, a lot better than we had in hotels. The location is excellent so you can walk everywhere and the bus to and from the airport goes directly to the hostel which is super convenient. The staff were helpful as well and there was a beer tap at reception, can't ask for much more.

    Not really any decent markets nearby to buy supplies and snacks. Not that I could find anyway? They pointed me to the closest one (still was a 15 minute walk) but it had a very limited selection. Same with cafes or restaurant's. They all close early.

    It's at the bus station so it's super convenient and... THEY HAVE BEER! The people working there are very helpful and friendly.

    The hostel has all the facilities one might need and the night bus to the airport leaves from there. Very friendly and helpful staff. I stayed there a couple of times and I always enjoyed it.

    They should assign a bed number to each guest. I got to the hostel at 04:00 in the morning and we go to the room and all beds had been used and it smelled terrible

    Really nice bathrooms and lots of space

    The lockers are to narrow, that a backpack has, unfortunately, no space in it.

    The bathroom are clean and spacious, and the vending machine was an asset.

    The bar on site has prices which even on happy hours are higher than regular night prices in town - clearly taking advantage of tourists who just got to Iceland and think you really pay in gold for a pint (you do, but not THIS much). Reception desk is fortified with several computers blocking visibility of staff working behind them, even tho there were usually 2-3 staff max members at a time -that make them look unapproachable (nonetheless, nice staff). Comfy beds are lacking privacy curtains, so if 1 out of 10 people in the dorm blocks the sunlight at the window to get some sleep, everyone else has to deal with it. Not enough electric sockets in the room. Kitchen cleanliness could be checked in the evenings, and ambient music would be beneficial in the common areas upstairs. I work in a hostel myself so these are the points l would change to improve the place - but overall it is a good/very good hostel I do recommend. Thank you for having me.

    The most spacious bathrooms l've seen in a hostel, with a great privacy level. General feeling of place being clean and new. Nice, functional lobby with huge windows. Comfortable bunks. Handy location to take trips as some tours would pick you right from there, a bit awkward to walk to town across the motorway though.

    The kitchen could use some more cleaning but it was very nice anyway compared to other hostels I visited

    I really enjoyed the stay. The place was very clean and the staff members very kind. I was surprised by how modern the room looked!

    Good if you need to take a bus

    The area is only convenient if you need to take a bus, there's not much else around it and it's a 25-minute walk to the downtown part. The beds were not great and they only provided a small blanket. I was cold. They charge extra for towels. The general vibe of the place is okay but not particularly inviting or interesting.

    Spent one night there because I had to take the airport bus at 3 am. In that sense, it is highly convenient. The bus was parked right in front of the hostel's door, so you just had to walk out to take it. Staff was friendly. The room was large and had a nice bathroom next door.

    The curtains can cover 2/3 of the window at most. This was a problem already in late august, cant imagine trying to maintain some dark in the room during high summer... Quite expensive, but I guess that is Iceland...

    Nice clean hostel with relatively many toilets/showers, good location

    There used to be a place for "free food", where people who are flying out can leave their food behind. Very unfortunate that the staff of Bus Hostel took it away, this is a great way to not waste food.

    Lots of buses to anywhere you need. Friendly staff, clean, fun place to stay.
