It smelled of mold, it was messy and filthy. There weren’t enough lockers for everyone in the room, people peed with the doors open, and overall it was a disgusting place.

Nothing

Perhaps the restroom as there is no threshold that could prevent the water from splashing or flowing to the whole floor but you might end up have ti walk on the dirty water after shower. Bring your own flip flops!! (Or you could use the public shower)

Overall it’s all good. I have nothing to complain about. Tho there’s construction going on but it’s not really affecting the travellers. The lobby has been vibrant.

I stayed at a 4 bed mixed room (301). Highly recommend this room. Amazing view. I feel like Jane Austen traveling in Iceland. (I travelled here 10 years ago. Was in a room with more beds than 4, maybe 8 or 10 I can't remember. The experience was okay, but not as dazzling as the one I had this time. So my recommendation -- choose a small room with less beds, and with luck you have a lovely view, too. ) I want to thank the sir at reception who has such good taste to put me in 301. Also there's a guy from France who stayed in my room, bed 4, who encouraged me to do self-driving saying it's completely safe. I want to thank him and let him know I came back from the self-drive very happy! (just in case he saw this post).

There was a lot of noise from other people in the room (really early) but that is not your fault.

Everything was clean and nice! Location was great, very close to everything. Really nice people that worked there :)

…but you should tell people upfront (!) that they will stay on a construction place…it wasnt that bad after all but you tell the people after they booked that you are sorry for the inconvenience…well dont be sorry: you are investing money in a bigger hotel thats the real estate game…i dont blame you for that just let your guests know before!

hey eveything looks nice and the bar is cool and that..

LOCATION

Stayed in July 2024

This was by far the worst hostel experience I had in Iceland. There was no hot water so I couldn't take a shower. There was no parking at the establishment, it was street parking, which was very misleading. The kitchen could have been cleaner. Honestly, I wasn't expecting the bar with live music to be so crazy. If you're looking for a calm place, this is NOT the place to stay.

It's a very funky and modern hostel. If you're looking for a place to party and to meet people, this is definetely the spot. Very centrally located in the middle of Reykjavík. It felt safe beause to access each floor you had to use your room key. The morning cleaning staff was friendly.

They need to clean the bathrooms and common areas more often because there are a lot of people staying since it’s a big hostel.

Location and price is great

Stayed in June 2024

Staff was really nice, toilets and showers very comfortable and clean, and what surprised me, they where almost never busy. I liked the really cozy furniture on the corridors where you can rest after long day. But ... this 42 people room made me almost impossible to sleep, because I Had to deal with really loud snoring. If you are introvert and prefer silence, better take smaller room. Hostel is perfectly situated, IT is really close to the city center, when you look though the windows , you will get stunning view on the ocean.

The hostel looks terrible. No water early in the morning.

Location was good, the hostel was old, every thing was old and worn out. The main door was old and horrible. We had an early flight, we got up early 4 AM, there was no water. We felt terrible.

The breakfast team were late but that was just one morning. With the construction work going on, the price could have been lowered.

It's always a great place for people to meet, eat and be sociable. Great food and service is good.

The bunks shake a lot, when the other person moves. The metal lockers also make a lot of noise when people get up in the morning/night. There was a lot of construction going on, which made it impossible to just have a chill day at the hostel, and I think that should have given a reduction in price. There is a lot of noise from the bar at night as well! I was a bit surprised how little the guy in the reception knew about Iceland and Reykjavik. I think it would be a good investment to send the receptionists on the different tours so they know what there is to experience on Iceland and encourage them to use the city.

It was nice that there was a bar/restaurant and the kitchen area which was a great opportunity to meet people and hang out after a day of exploring. There are plenty of bathrooms. Very friendly cleaning staff.

You have to checkout at 10 I think that is too early the bathrooms where not clean and didn't have the necessary supplements. Plus it's very noisy specially in the night
