Prices are getting so high! Please, try to be a place for everyone, as it used to be, a social hostel! That's your specificity in Reykjavik with local people, international travellers, wealthy ones and humble adventures.

The atmosphere is exceptional. The staff always very helpful and all the facilities very convenient. Mixity within the clients is a strength to meet new cultures and broaden ones horizon.

the property is pretty central to the Main Street. everywhere is within 5-10 minutes walking distance. I enjoyed its very easy to meet people in the bar or making food in the kitchen and everyone is so friendly

It is very noisy. The doors slam shut and people are coming and going all night. The corridors are very echoey. I could not sleep as doors slammed all night long.

I was trying to get some sleep in a private room after transatlantic flight with no luck. idk what was it, rehearsal or concerts itself but it was super loud that a lamp on a nightstand was jingling from the bass downstairs. every time and then some large groups of people were departing and were very loud under my window, despite the host’s ask not to be noisy. I know Reykjavik is expensive but for total of $200, I think I could’ve found less noisy place to take some rest.

nice cozy place! nice bar downstairs. good location.

Nice atmosphere

The kitchen had a lot of leftover food in fridge that didn't get removed (not the fault of staff). Sometimes bathrooms and showers were messy.

The option of reasonably priced food, good service, friendly personnel, helpful attitude for all questions asked, ease of coming and going. many friendly folk also staying here. loved the lounge and good musicians.

Its hard because Iceland is expensive and this Hostel accommodated a lot of people but the showers were always in use, the bins were constantly over flowing and everything was a bit grimy. But as I said it was a lot of people in small space.

The bar downstairs was nice and had decently priced food and drink.

Booked my stay there for 8 days. Reception was available at any time of the day. You can find lot of lounge room with cozy couches in every floor. there where two kitchen in each floor where you could cook your meal and store your food there. I stayed in a room of 6. The room wasn't really big but it was enough to move around. not every bed had a electric outlet near by, there where two near the lockers and 1 near the door. The rooms are provided with one locker for each bed, big enough to store even a trolley bag (mine was 55x40x23 cm at it fit perfectly). Bathrooms and showers where outside the rooms. There are both private shower and shared shower (still divided between man and women). For the first night I used the private shower. It was quite dirty (I think it is because lot of people are not comfortable using shared shower so most of them would use the private one). the rest of the nights I used shared shower and they where more clean. Both shower have mirrors, hairdryer and wall hangers.

Can get a little noisy at times, but no big deal (earplugs provided). Like any hostel, actual experience depends on the luck of the draw with your roommates

Great location, clean beds, friendly staff! Truly enjoyed my stay here :)

there isn’t a quiet place to work. You could sit in the “living rooms “ of floor 2nd or 3rd but that’s about it. the lighting isn’t great either

The staff and incredibly helpful, they clean every day, hence, the restrooms remain clean despite the amount of people using them. it was my first time in a dorm with 42 people and I felt safe, and comfortable all the time :) the location and facilities are also great. a very social hostel so you’ll definitely make friends here !!

Convenient area to get around and see the tours and shops.

Didn't expect there to be a rave on Saturday night when we had to be out the door at 6 in the morning to catch our flight.

The breakfast was good, having the bar on site was nice for end of day relaxing.

My room of 6 girls was very hot at night. I didn’t mind having a top bunk but the only problem was not having an outlet or way to charge my phone up on top. My phone had to charge on the floor which made it worrisome I wouldn’t hear my alarm to wake up from my phone.

Everything was great! Hostel was so cool! Food was good, everyone was nice. I didn’t use all the facilities, but everything seemed great & easy.
