Better parking instructions and options. Renovation work was on so entering was difficult and confusing.

The cleanliness and aesthetics too

A shame that it was in construction

Felt cozy

The restaurant - bar wasn't open due to renovations, but that's ok

The staff was friendly and willing to help. Nice location. Clean spaces. Comfy beds. Free stuff in the kitchen.

Rooms didn’t smell so good. Entrance hidden between 2 construction sites.

Cheap. Separate WC for ladies and gents.

Kex location is the best. Just outside could have a good view of aurora borealis if the sky is clear.

They’re undergoing a remodel so understand the construction. Some of the bathrooms flooded partially when showering. Also when I got checked in, there were no fresh sheets on my bed. Had to wait another 30 minutes for someone to come by. They were fully booked so I didn’t want to complain to management and get the housekeeper in trouble. Also the breakfast was overpriced for what I got.

Cool ambiance inside. Decent for the price

Rude lady on reception, who gave unhelpful one word answers to the most simple of questions when trying to check-in.... That was when she wasn't stuffing her face with popcorn from the machine.

Great location, nice bar, and solid facilities for the price. The open courtyard was really cool where there was a live band playing.

Construction going on next door also could require a small Renovation

Close to the ocean

Noisy gigs with bad sound proofing. Guests should be notified if there will be gigs and people yelling after midnight. The room is also way too small for luggages when it’s fully booked.

Lovely staff and good location. It is also pretty comfy once I’m in the bed.

Currently under construction, but everything kept clean.

Very kind staff

When they have live concerts at the bar it gets very loud; there's no lift; bathrooms are only cleaned once a day and after 8 in the morning, so if you want to have a late or very early shower you might find a not so clean bathroom; breakfast buffet is not that good.

Great place for solo travellers, you feel safe and get to meet people from all over the world. I stayed in room 413 (6-bed female dorm) and I think the 4th floor is better than the 3rd (even if going up 4 floors with no lift is a bit of a pain). There's plenty of private bathrooms, you sometimes need to wait for a little while, but it's fine (just bring flip-flops because the floor gets really wet from the shower), there's a hairdryer in the common shower room. There's a kitchen and a laundry room. The bar on the 2nd floor is large and normally full of people in the evening. Live music sometimes can get loud, but it has a good vibe. The breakfast buffet is not worth the price. Staff was very international and nice. They are undergoing renovations at the moment and the front door is hard to find, don't worry if the entrance is a bit dodgy, once you get in, you'll like it. Check out the reviews on Google maps for photos.

Too crowded if it is high season but, overall it feels home and comfortable.

Perfect location within a walking distance to the major spots in downtown Reykjavík.

A little bit noisy but not too bad for a hostel.

The family sized room was perfect for our family. Nice and clean--not a stereotypical hostel. Decor and space was thoughtful. Private bathrooms were great.

The breakfast. The food was really bland with no taste.

Separate bathrooms, curtain for the bed, so many areas to just sit and relax.

I liked the atmosphere. Especially the Greek receptionist Stratos. He is very helpful and kind. Open to assist you with any questions. Breakfast is ok, basic offer. Bar is good. Currently they are under renovation. Facilities are old but the service is good. Special greetings to Stratos, the best receptionist.

No curtains around the bed so lacked privacy

There's no elevator, and if you have a heavy bag, it's really difficult to get it up the stairs. Although the view in the distance is great, you are directly above a gas station, too.

Awesome atmosphere, great location, friendly staff. There's a great view of the ocean right outside your window.

It would have been nice if the lockers had a lock system included, and the yard was party noisy until late. They do provide earplugs but not everyone is used to sleeping with them

Good location, clean room, decent breakfast

Stylish decor, breakfast team and area with windows overlooking the bay, the spicy chicken wings, and the mango mystery :)

The main lounge area closed at 11PM once that closed there wasn't a lot of places to sit and chill/eat; would love for the area to stay open as a chill spot especially since you cannot bring food into your room.

Lovely Hostel. We stayed in a private room and it was perfect. Comfortable bed, great art, the Hostel vibe was wonderful. Super central as well. Loved that there was a good kitchen, cafe, laundry, bar, and outdoor bar. Also, the "shared" bathrooms were single stalls so that was awesome. Would recommend and stay again.

Not much. It would have been nice to have a toaster oven or something to heat up the waffles or some of the breads that don't fit in a conventional toaster, but that is minor.

Check-in was easy. The staff were friendly. The beds were comfy. The washrooms were clean and had everything you needed.

My dorm was noisy with people coming and going a lot and one particularly loud sleeper who kept everyone up. That is part and parcel of hostel life though so I get it.

Great location and lovley staff who were always happy to help Extremely good value for money and the make a nice pizza too.
