    The shelf by the bedI was dusty and there was something left by revious guest... So it has not been cleaneed for a while. The kitchen was full of food left by people that is good... But really not ordered and everithing quite dirty .. Prepare the bed is ok ... But can be noise when people arrive late and not easy when you are in the upper bed.

    Location. Security and ensuite bathroom. Self check in was easy

    I wished there was somewhere in the bathroom I could put clothes while I was changing. Not the hostels fault but there was a lot of noise coming from the street.

    Excellent location, comfy beds. I loved the keyless system. Everything seemed clean. Communal area and bar were nice.

    cozy hostel in the city center - the location is unbeatable! rooms are clean, bathrooms are ok as well. the main thing for me as a solo traveller is the safety and everything was perfectly fine with it. the bar on a rooftop is definitely worth a visit!

    Only thing I can think of is that in the shared dorms had a bathroom and separate shower, there was no towel provided to dry your hands or hand dryer. I'd often forget to bring my towel in with me 😂

    Hostel was very clean. It had a great reception with a bar that had a decent happy hour.

    My stay fell on the weekend and some venue nearby hosted a concert/party until late night. Eventually I was able to fall alseep :) It is an excellent hostel in a great location, if one seeks city entertainment, but it may not be for quiet introverts for a longer stay.

    I don't usually stay in dormitories, but this place was phenomenal. My room was very spacious and it gave a great sense of comfort and privacy. There was enough space around the bunk beds to comfortably store luggage/repack it. The bed and sheets were amazingly comfortable and nice. Spacious shower plus an additional bathroom in the hallway. Very kind and helpful staff. With the location in the exact city centre, it is an awesome place for one night transit stay.

    The bathrooms were tiny as hell and the shower, while having great water pressure, was like trying to take a shower in a sausage casing. Packed so tight Also, the pillow was meager at best. Woke up sore each day

    The staff was great and the vibe was fun. 4th floor was a bar and rooftop overlook of the city. Place was popping for the Eurovision finals. I had no idea Europeans took the so seriously. It was cute to watch

    The location was absolutely perfect - right in the heart of Reykjavík, we were able to walk to all of the restaurants/bars/attractions right from the hostel. We loved the outdoor balcony and had some happy hour beers the evening we were staying. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, we felt very welcome. Everything was clean and spacious. We will definitely return on our next trip to Iceland!

    Significant noise outside in the streets on the weekends due to the hostel being within close proximity of bars and clubs. However I was expecting this based on prior reviews but nothing some ear plugs won’t fix!

    The Hostel was located in the city of Reykjavik, with plenty attractions and amenities within close proximity. Staff where very attentive with any requests or questions while on the trip. The room was very clean along with the toilets. First time staying in a hostel while solo travelling and I have to say I’m glad I’ve had such a great experience! Met some lovely friends during the trip. The Hostel has a great social place for making new friends and striking up conversations. Would definitely recommend and will be booking here again on my next stay to Reykjavik.

    Bathroom inside of the room could have been a little bit cleaner but overall not bad.

    The location of the hostel was right in the middle of the city so was great to walk around. The rooms were very clean and modern. Check in was easy and I even booked the wrong day but was able to easily switch to the correct day without hassle. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

    I stayed in one of the mixed dorms towards the street facing side of the building, and it’s unavoidable but due to the location of the hostel it can get pretty noisy at the weekend nights when the clubs are open.

    The hostel is in such a good location, and has a very social but not forced atmosphere. The bar can get busy at evenings, but it is still a really nice vibe. All of the staff are super helpful with everything. All of the rooms are on a different level to the bar, that are protected by a code system, as well as each room and every traveler has their own code, so you know you are safe.

    Sometimes there isn't always a person at the front desk, like checking out I had to wait for 10 minutes.

    The location is perfect, great bar and food to get to and the people are so friendly there too. The room I had was all female's doom. Met the nicest girls there. Very safe and doable for solo travellers.
