Really lovely hostel. Bit of a walk to town centre but more than enough to see around about the hostel.

The beds at this hostel are unbelievably comfortable. My bed was, without a doubt, the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in in my life!!

The hostel is actually massive but not noisy at all actually. The lower leaves a good atmosphere but the main corridor at the top is quite depressing with all these white walls and closed blue doors. Maybe a few pictures or objets on the wall would make it look friendly. The 5 of us stayed in a 6-bed dormitory and enjoyed our stay. We appreciated the hostel provides a free wifi connection, it was more than helpful as we lost some members of the group in Reykjavik!!

everything was good, very clean and tidy. the only problem was, they rent most of the time the living room for some outside meetings, so the guess in the hostel were not able to sit there and watch TV. I don\'t think they should rent those common areas.

Location was ok but KEX was right in the middle of downtown. This place has excellent Wifi. When I was there the hostel was mostly empty. It was very clean and had a bathroom and lockers in the room the mattresses were ok but not very comfortable.

The hostel and its staff were outstanding in everyway. There is another hostel in the city centre if you want to be more local but the walk along the sea from was perfectly fine and there's a direct bus if you don't fancy that. We were there in late January and pretty much had the place to ourselves. Very clean, friendly and safe.

The staff was amazing! They were all so helpful and kind, offering suggestions and ensuring the experience was a great one. The room was clean and well worth the price. Thank you kindly! I hope to be back soon.

Great Hostel! I stayed here for one night before heading to Akureyri. The Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and warm and the Breakfast was good also! They let me make a sandwich for the road trip and organised a taxi for me :)

I enjoyed my stay at the Hostel it was clean very secure and the staff were very helpful the thermal baths next to the hostel were also good fun. The only issues i found was the hostel was very quiet with people mostly sitting around on a laptop or reading books which meant it wasnt the most social hostel.

Excellent hostel, very clean with plenty of facilities. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hostel is clean, and for me well located, quiet and nice place with a free parking lot for the car. Highly recommend to my friends, and will return some day.

Everything in this hostel was awesome, except the location. The staffs were very helpful, and the amenities were very clean and well-organised. It would be difficult to find a room with a private bathroom at this price. Perhaps, its location could be challenging to those who is not willing to walk/spend money on a bu during the stay. More than 30 mins from downtown. Also, as mentioned, breakfast is not included. But anyhow, I will definitely go there again if chances are given.
