It was a pretty noisy place. Construction during the day and partying at night.

The location was good. Views from the windows were great. Close to the center of town. There was a really good band playing on the weekend. The staff was wonderful and the kitchen had good food fairly cheap. I will stay again if in Reykjavik.

The bedroom doors are metal and would bang through the night due to how fast they closed. Also it's my own fault but I didn't realise that this hostel was more of a 'party social' hostel so it was a bit loud at night - this stopped at about 11pm. I did wear earplugs through the night so this was fine with me.

My first impression of the Hostel was how beautifully it was decorated, it had such a cosy and welcoming vibe! I unexpectedly got upgraded to a private room despite only staying for one night! I loved how the bathrooms were spread across the main hallway and they were all large and private (also uniquely decorated). It felt like no other hostel I had stayed in before, and the staff were lovely and accommodating. Strong wifi throughout and a lovely bar with an amazing view of the sea.

but as i was carrying a large suitcase, I was surprised that there was no lift at the hostel, so when i was dropped off, i was entering the hostel from the bottom floor, so i need to carry my suitcase to ground floor to the reception to check in first and then one more floor to the rooms. bathroom was not that clean but acceptable as i understand its a public facility and there were no cleaners during the night. water was not too strong.

location was good - i got drop off from the airport bus at the hotel, only a few mins walk to the main street. around a few mins walk to bus stop 9 (where a lot of tour and airport transfer pick up points). room was ok, the lamp at my room was broken so it was always dark. there was a storage locker for everyone in the room but it was a bit old and rusty and made a noise when you opening the locker. the design of the hostel was stylish. seeing a lot of reviews saying the bathroom was a public one, but actually there were around 4 private showers on each floor so you could definitely take a shower in a private one. and actually as everyone wants to take it privately, the public one is always empty. bed was ok, i was located on the upper bunk so i did not have the black curtain, did not feel as private as the lower bunk. there was restaurant at ground floor, they do breakfast starting at 7:30am. not too busy and noisy. staff was helpful. you can store luggage in here after checking out. the view was good.

Great location, walking distance to most shopping district. A great place if you would like to meet new friends as they have the shared kitchen so you can start chat with another if you like

Very wet in the stairwell, with odd characters lurking about

Cool hipster decor, nice bar level, great view of Aktu Taktu, with Esjan in the background

Walking distance to the city centre, it has all the required facilities including a laundry room and a nice breakfast in the morning. The views over the sea and to the mountains are really nice too!

Some of the beds were noisy due to all being metal, in a dormitory this can be a bit noisy at times. But even in the 42 people dormitory I found everyone was respectful and trying to minimise noise as much as possible.

Everything was on site. Breakfast was good and good value, there was also a laundry room which was really useful when all my clothes got so wet after the tours.

The floor and some bathrooms were a bit too dirty and the rooms didn't smell that good.

The viwe when you leave the hostel was amazing and really well located. I could do everything in Reykjavik by just walking. The hostel had everything I needed and more. Unfortunately it wasnt really neat and clean, but despite this, I would definetly recommend it.

Beds make a lot of noice (if you move 1 vinger the whole room knows), room is very warm, everyday in the weekend there are parties at the bar which make it really hard to sleep because you can hear the music and bass super clear in the room through the floor.

Nice hostel, good vibes. Great bar and beer. Location is pretty nice.

There were pretty loud parties downstairs on the weekends, and it was hard to fall asleep. Also I didnt feel quite safe in the early mornings after all those parties. There were people sleeping in the corridor and kitchen …

The staff is very friendly, good location, comfy beds and overall clean

Location perfect, staff really nice, rooms pretty clean, the mixed-gender dorms threw me a bit at first but the other guests were nice. Great pizza and beer in the restaurant, overall great value considering its in Reykjavik

My room was just a side of the kitchen and in the night was a little difficult to sleep for the noisy

Location, staff, big hostel, and confortable

The kitchen lacks basic equipment. Two years ago, there was no can opener, to my shock horror, the is still not one. The kitchen is cleaned well in the morning, but due to messy clients it's a bit untidy by the evening. The toilets and showers could due with an upgrade

This was my second time in the hostel. Two years ago, I booked a Northern Lights tour. I did not get to see it but the company who the hostel booked honoured the agreement to allow to have another try for free. I still have not seen it, so will be back next year. Some of the staff were nice and helpful. A shout out to Boa, for being so. Unfortunately other members of staff need to smile a bit more and have a more cheerful attitude while on the job. The bar is a lot of fun and the location is OK. The breakfast might seem like a lot of money, but for Iceland prices I think it was good value for money. Especially if you like to eat a lot. Otherwise if you are not a big eater I would suggest a snack in the kitchen to save on money

More kitchen utensils and mugs would be great.

Perfect location, comfortable and clean. Helpful staff, free luggage storage and bar on site.

I'm not a big fan open showers although there are closed shower facilities too but very few.

Location - walking distance to restaurants, shops, tour bus stops and city tourist spots. Room - comfortable beds, bunk curtains, lockers, card access.
