Modern and fresh looking hostel. Great kitchen area with induction plates and space to store your own food. Bunk beds are very comfortable, although I recommend bringing earplugs. Nice area next to the reception to get a drink, to read a book or for a quick work session.

The owner is a Filipina with that said, a place is like a home a sense of hospitality … it’s very organized all the appliances in the kitchen from second floor to downstairs are free and available to use .. the bedding are fresh the toilet are squeaky clean … the staff are great and the reception is there they’re all willing to give help and suggestions… they have a strict rules in the house “clean as you go” and one guests to another follow this rule which is very good …

The staff were helpful and attentive. The entire hostel was clean including the double bedroom. Check-in instructions were clear and straight forward. If you like to hangout with people, the pub is the best place to head to at night at the top floor. It's a lively hostel. Just something to take note: - Required to remove bed linen before checking-out - Luggage storage available - Location is near rainbow street and bus stop 6 (good for airport bus and drop off)

Clean. Quiet. Comfortable. That is all i look for in a hostel and this place was 10/10 on all of that. *they also offer free coffee (nespresso) and some other simple foods and seasonings. Which is really nice.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Incredible service from the staff here. I was in an awkward situation and they spent the time to reaccomodate me in difficult circumstances. It’s always tidy. It’s cosy. It has cool events on. I felt very safe and even at home on this stay. Best hostel in Reykjavík, definitely recommend booking while it’s available.

    Great Location, very popular hostel with travellers from all over the world. Great party hostel vibe, if that’s your thing. Breakfast provided at a cost was excellent. Smooth check in . I would advise if going with friends to book together, otherwise you will not be guaranteed to be sharing a dormitory like in our case. Beds ok does the job.

    Friendly staff when you actively approach them yourself, room mates and great location. It was clear that they attempt to keep things clean (but given the small amount of bathrooms and large amount of guests, it can get dirty). It’s an Alright budget friendlier option (in terms of Icelandic pricing) for a few nights if you are ok with a very basic hostel experience and out and about most of the time anyway as I was. Rooms were mostly clean

    Great location ! A 5 minute walk from the main part of the city, friendly staff, our bed was super comfortable and the room itself was lovely and warm! Key code entry system was great too, felt safe and didn’t have to worry about leaving a key somewhere, perfect to stay at if you’re trying to see Iceland on a budget

    It's a classic backpacker hostel, very well situated, near a supermarket, to the sea and few minutes from center town. I slept in mixed dormitory. All kind of servics are available; it's possible to cook there.

    Great location, easy walk from bus station. Clean. Very safe measures with a code to enter each room. Arrived at 2am, easily got in with codes and found bed and towel. Next door to geothermal swimming pool, $8.50, but free for those 67 and older. Good price for hostel in Iceland! Very pleased with my stay.
