    Room air was stuffy. The "bed" was just a mattress on a floor, but at least was comfy as well as sheets. Some of the bathrooms were not clean.

    Nice spacious place with many bathrooms.

    The beds at the bottom of the bunk bed are at floor level, and I thought this was very bad, especially as my bed was next to the entrance door. Every time someone entered or left the room I felt like I was about to be trampled on. I think they could put sockets for charging your mobile next to the bed. I had to wake up at 5am, and had to walk around the dark room to turn off the alarm on the phone that was charging on the opposite wall, I felt bad for disturbing the other guests sleeping in the room. Also, I'm a woman and I shared a room with 3 men, I don't know if there are rooms divided by gender, but I wasn't given that option when I made the reservation.

    The staff was nice, the shared facilities were clean and good, and it's located at the main bus terminal which for me was very good as I had to catch the 6am bus to the airport.

    Deceptive pricing on tours. Website may say “free bus transfer” and then charge $35 for a bus transfer.

    No provided breakfast. Location was decent but not downtown.

    -around 20 minutes walking from center town. Not much to do around the hostel and only one small convenience store around 15minutes walking. No restaurants around. -not the hostel fault, but some of the other guests might be from cultures that are not much respectful to others and might make noise until late. Again, not the hostel fault and kind of one of the cons of going to a hostel

    - convenient for tours, as most will start here. You can also catch the bus to the airport straight from here. -6 bathrooms with shower each in the second floor, which helps makes it easier to find one not occupied -in general, the facilities were well kept and clean

    There was no bedside lights in the room, only the main ceiling light. The kitchen was sometimes messy.

    We stayed in one of the private rooms and it was comfortable and warm. The bathrooms were close and they were clean. The kitchen is well equipped which was handy as we cooked for ourselves few times due to high prices in Iceland.

    We had a really good stay! We booked an individual room which was clean and comfortable, especially the beds, but the bathroom was common, yet very clean and close to the room. We could use the kitchen on the first floor. The staff was really helpful. This hostel is a common place for activities and excursions to start from there (the bus will come to this hostel to pick you up). It was a 20-minute walk to the center. There's one small shop 10 minutes from the hostel. We highly recommend it!

    It’s a bit of a walk to the center. There’s no restaurant or grocery store close by unless you walk about 20 minutes to the center. No heat in the room. There was no towel in my room even tho it was private. I thought they would offer more for a private room but no. I thought the price was too much for what you get but hey it’s Iceland everything is expensive there

    Property was clean. All tours start and end there so that was a plus. I stay in a private room so not sure what it is like in the dorms. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Easy commute getting to and from the hotel to the airport, it’s just one bus which is about an hour ride.

    The lockers were difficult to use. You need your own lock, but mine was too small to lock it.

    I was in a room with 20 beds and it was super clean and comfortable. There is a 24/7 desk and the staff is always super helpful. Kitchen, many bathrooms and toilets, hairdryer, many tables and sofas in the lobby, enough sockets, coffee, water. It was my best hostel stay so far. Even if there were always ongoing tours and many people there, it was quite enough to get enough sleep/rest. Good location and walking distance to the center or most of the attractions. Highly recommended.

    There were very less parking places. We needed to find a parking place in a street further away from the hostel. While the booking said that there are free parking places at the hostel itself.

    During breakfast and dinner times the kitchen is full.

    Perfect location for pick up of tours. 20 minutes walking from the hostel to center city. Other place you need visit is the Museum Perlan 10 minutes from hostel. The staff so friendly y attentive. They offers tours (Golden circle, Nothers lights...). The kitchen well equipped. Buy the food before the trip, because It's expensive in Iceland. We shared a room with 4 beds. Definitely we would repeat.

    The shared kitchen could be better equipped (we did not like the plastic cups - put our coffee rather in glasses; and knives could be sharper too; some people failed to wash the dishes after they were done, which cluttered the kitchen; also, more sinks in the kitchen would make it easier for multiple people to use it at the same time). Not too many parking places but we were lucky to find a spot for both nights.

    Well located near the city center. Busy place with many travellers coming and going. Spatious tables for e.g. laptop + a beer (available on tap in reception desk). Enough shared bathrooms, we never had to wait for someone to vacate it.

    It’s expensive for tacos and it is a bit away from centre Reykjavík if you are going in the winter with snow which we are so walking all the time wasn’t expensive.

    Staff were lovely and rooms are spotless
