The Capital-Inn Reviews

I stayed at Capital Inn for two nights. Since it was not a busy season, I booked a bed in a dorm but I have the dorm completely to myself. It was quite clean and neat. The only problem is that it is a little bit far from the down town area. But it is near the Perlan with an amazing view of the city lights at night and a beach which is suitable for a walk in the sunset. The hill behind it is a perfect location to catch some northern lights.

The staff was pretty nice, they let us keep our baggage at the hostel while we went on a trip to another part of the country. Sadly, that was the only thing really keeping this hostel worthwhile. The place smells really, really bad. The kitchen is always dirty, even the clean dishes seem dirty. The kitchen sink is always dripping and it was quite obnoxious. The rooms were small, packed with too many beds and other objects and the beds were in poor condition. One of the beds I was on broke.

Great, friendly staff. Super accommodating.

The cleanliness of the kitchen, and the design of the toilets could be improved somehow. Very good attention given by the staff.

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.
