" The lobby, bar, bistro and lounge areas are wonderful. But the rooms, kitchens, bathrooms are yucky. At least four outlets in the 12 bed room didn't work. At least two of the bed lamps didn't work. The kitchen was a dirty disaster from people being pigs and not cleaning up properly. There were fabric seat cushions in the kitchen that we're practically black with stains and grime. There was a two person shower with dingy curtains to separate yourself. The toilet room has about four small stalls and the door to the room can hardly be opened if anyone is inside. There are drawers under the beds for your luggage, and they all seemed to have garbage or gunk in them.
The desk staff were wonderfully friendly and the lobby/lounge areas around the desk were clean and comfortable. Beer and wine at the bar were good and the bistro area has maybe a dozen tables for restaurant food service. "

" An amazing place to stay for are grip to Iceland. Good be quility and nice rooms which all much bigger then expected. The ground floor social area and shared kitchens allow for conversation between groups. A great place for food down stairs and good breakfast. This only problem is the few drunk users and the occasional broken bed light. Would come again. "

" The place is good if you want a hostel that isn't full of party youth. However the place desperately needs to be fix up. Our door knob was wobblely. My bed was broken so I slept in a slop. Plus more. But I liked the Icelandic dinner and the breakfast buffet was good. The kitchen has the basics, and the beds were comfy. Location is amazing. Shuttle pick up is outside and the staff are amazing. Overall I would recommend it. "

" Not the cleanest hostel. Several aspects of the hostel does not receive enough attention from staff. Third floor hostel rooms were generally clean, however the washrooms were not properly stocked with toilet paper. No toilet paper was available in the third floor washrooms for two nights. Our kitchen garbage bins were also overfilled for two days until a guest took the garbage out herself.
The location of the hostel is great though as it is by the tourist bus stop as well as the city's main bus terminal. "

" I enjoyed my 8 night stay here. You cannot ask for a better location - close to all major attractions and RIGHT beside the city buses. Shopping and restaurants were right at the doorstep. The staff were friendly and helpful, and I found all the rooms and facilities were clean. I only gave it four stars because on the last day there was NO toilet paper in the bathrooms the whole day!! But that’s a first world problem if there ever was one. Overall, I recommend this hostel to anyone coming to Reykjavík. "

" We were at the hostel. And it was fine but there was a little to much noise at the night. All in all a good stay for a good price "

" Location was perfect! Staff were very helpful and sincere making a great visit. Excellent craft beer bar in lobby with daily happy hour. We stayed on 5th floor hotel area. Comfortable accommodations - it is not a full service hotel so no coffee in regular rooms although coffee daily in lobby. Minibar/fridge, down comforters & pillows. Terrace was nice to enjoy morning coffee and evening drinks. Very easy walking into downtown. Good value and great place to stay. "

" Generous portion of gorgeous salmon steak, freshly caught, charbroiled to perfection and then served on a bed of savoury mashed potatoes surrounded by a crisp locally grown salad. Paired with a complimentary pint of Icelandic beer: perfect way to end a day on the Golden Circle Tour! I'll definitely be back to this hotel/hostel ... "

" Super cool hotel/hostel combo. We stayed in a nice spacious room with a mini kitchenette and it was awesome. Wifi worked well, windows opened over the street below. Once a week they do their Square Meal. We were lucky enough to be there for Icelandic lamb. And it was the cheapest and tastiest meal we could have imagined. Oh and the hotel is on one edge of downtown which makes it perfect to walk through the whole downtown and back. "

" Really like this hotel/hostel. We stayed at the hostel part and it has good facilities and common rooms. The dormitories are spaces and heating is good. Staffs are knowledgeable and friendly too. Highly recommend. "

" My first hostel and the best hostel ever. The way is built makes you meet new people. The dinner meal is the best deal ever. The staff is the best, and the location is perfect. I have tried other hostels, but this one is still the best. "
