The staff was awesome and helped us tremendously with reservations for awesome tours, the place was lovely and simple, and our room was one of the nicest hostel rooms I've ever lodged!

Great place to stay - comfortable beds, free WiFi, close to most attractions and lots of restaurants, pubs and bars close by. Staff can book tours for you. Breakfast is good and good value. There's also a guest kitchen for use

The Wifi is really good in the lobby and in the ground floor bedrooms. Staff is excellent. The toilets could be a bit better concerning cleanliness. Overall we had a very nice stay. Would deffo come back!

Very clean bathroom and bedroom facilities, and quite close to the centre of town. Just be aware of all the extra charges - yes, we should have read about these on the Hostelworld site, but when there is an extra 'membership' fee, a breakfast fee and a linen rental fee (which is included for all other hostels I have stayed at), it quickly adds up.

The hostel was in a great location. Everything in Reykjavic was within walking distance. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The wireless Internet was awesome to have and could be used throughout the hostel. The rooms were very clean and beds were comfy.

Very good hostel, located very close to the center but far enough away that you don't suffer from the noise of the bars. Some good restaurants and one minute away. My only complaint is that they charge extra for linens, including just sheets and bedclothes. They advertise this on the site, so it's not as if it is shady, but charging for sheets seems ridiculous to me. That's something you expect when you decide not to camp.

Very helpfull staff. I appreciate female dorms as I travel alone. Nice, well equiped kitchen located outside - it doesn't disturb guests when you'd like to stay there little bit longer :)

This hostel is clean and the kitchen area is well organized. It is 3 min walking from downtown, so it is probably quieter than the other Reykjavik hostels. For me, the only downside of this place is was for the "meeting people" part: there aren't any "planned activities" in the hostel so you have to hang out in the kitchen to talk with other travelers. The staff is generally helpful too, some more than others. They have lockers in the room for everybody, and the rooms are quite big.

minor detail: waiting for the bus at 5 o'clock in the morning is no fun. Why couldn't I buy a cup of coffee in the lounge? Staff was present....

The female dorm was huge and cozy, the kitchen was well equipped and clean and the staff was always super friendly and helpful. We stayed there for six nights with my friend and it really felt like home. Excellent basis to discover Reykjavík! Hopefully see you soon!

fantastic. one of the cleanest hostels ive been to. it is a bit quiet until you say hello and have some fun. This hostel is like a hotel with roommates. only bummer is the separation of the checkin and kitchen areas. But the kitchen area is nice too!
