The Capital-Inn Reviews

We had a very good time in Iceland the week just after Christmas 2011 and even though walking downtown was quite a journey from the hostel, the staff there was perfect and really friendly and helpful (we do not know the name of the gentleman who was at the reception when we were there but he was extremely kind and helpful and we would like to thank him personally).

because the hostel´s ground is under the graveyard and the kitchen was not clean bzw. the freezer was loud and it smelled like corp but the rezeptionist is really friendly! it´s a good low budget hostel but nothing for people with a fine nose.

The hostel is simple and clean. The staff is very helpful and nice, and there is load of tourist information. The location is a little out of the way, but it was easy enough to get into town. It's also nice if you want something quiet and away from the busy nightlife.

It was a painful experience to walk from the hostel to the city center under terrible weather! I booked the cheapest option so no linen nor breakfast provided. The reception was helpful but unfortunately there was only herself and it was a full house night. The toilets were shared among men and women which aws kinda wierd. The shower rooms were spacious but it was deifinitety not the setting for Asian. Shower heads were very high that I could not reach at all.....

Staff and cleaning was excellent.

A good hostel once you get there but it is a long way out.

The place is of excellent quality. A lot of the reviews mention the distance from the city centry - it is about a 45 minutes walk, but I didn't find that problematic and was very glad I stayed there.
