This Hostel is absolutely fantastic!!! They offer breakfast in the morning and thry have a secure room you can store your luggage which was perfect since checkout is at 10am checkout flight wasn’t until 9 that same evening. It gave me the opportunity to have a final afternoon in Reykjavík without worry about luggage logistics. Thank you for being a safe, clean, and overly friendly place to stay!!!

This hostel has a lot of upsides including the great staff and the events calendar where they try to get guests to interact with each other. I also liked that they offered guided tours from there although my friends and I did not use them. The major downside to it is the location. There are very few restaurants in the immediate area and if you want to go to a bar you can forget it unless you want to go on a trek. However, overall I think it was a good experience.
