Booked a room in a dorm just to find out that there was a glitch in the system and my bunk bed was taken. Not a great experience especially after a long flight and arriving past midnight. So no, I would not recommend this place.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I stayed in one bedroom not shared. Its clean, quiet and I like that I can lock the door when I use the bathroom. Its 3 blocks away from the church and walkable to Reykjavik downtown. Also, another reason i stayed in this hostel is that they have free parking. I would definitely stay again if given a chance i come back to Reykjavik area. Highly recommended. :D Thank you for an awesome stay that made my first trip to Iceland a memorable one. See again next time.

Della

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
No reception staff. Three people approached me needing help to find their rooms. They had no emails after 1500 with the necessary info needed with room number and codes. Poor mattresses. Anytime anyone moved in bed the springs squeezed. I stayed in room 100 and around 0030 you could hear loud pounding upstairs and constant moving of what sounded like heavy chairs/furniture. The hall smells of faint sewer all the tome. Price was ok but won’t be back. Only convenience is great location.

Improve the service !

Everything was fine until the housekeeper (a young guy) started knocking in the morning. Check out at 11 o'clock, he started knocking and immediately opened the door at 9 o'clock in the morning - it's terrible! When I opened it, he couldn't really explain what he needed from me so early.

Be aware that there is no reception. You need to receive a sms for your room number and code that i didn't received, so you have to writd them an email. You are by yourself. No option for late checkout, they don't allow. You can leave your luggage in lockers for $20 or more depending of the size.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There were no lockers in or around the rooms, no staff, two toilets and one shower for the whole floor. The bathrooms had toilet paper all over the floor. The kitchen sink would only do super hot water, that smelled like the lagoon. The vending machine did not have normal water. No staff visible.
