People were extremely loud at odd hours of the night, slamming doors and yelling. The place was clean and staff was friendly. It’s about a 5-10 minuet ride to Reykjavík center.

A bit far out of town but not too much of a problem for me and the self catering kitchen could've been bigger I often found myself queueing to use it. Other than that great hostel
