NorwayI had a very comfortable stay here. The place was clean and homely and the other guests were friendly and quiet. Each bunk bed had curtains for privacy. There was also a large kitchen with a stove and fridge etc - great for budget eating. Location was good - buses to city center or BSI stopped nearby and there were plenty of stores in the immediate area.

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.

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.Guest review byLouiseSolo traveler
- Avg. price/night: $461.15Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.9Good - What previous guests thought, 4,666 reviewsGreat 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.Guest review byDionneTravelers with friends
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 3,591 reviewsFriendly 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 cleanGuest review byLisaSolo traveler

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 budgetGuest review byChloeTravelers with friends

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.
