Good room at a reasonable price. It is a short walk to downtown and the staff was friendly and helpful. I will be staying here again before I fly out of the country.

A bit hard to find, the little hotel is tucked away on a dead-end street. Once we got into our room we were comfortable and could rest. It was raining outside and we were wet, but we dried off and took a nap in the good quality mattresses and bedding. The bathroom was roomy and clean. The price was good. Our room was on the second floor and being older, getting our luggage up the stairs presented a small inconvenience but over all our visit was a positive one. We recommend this hotel for travelers on a budget.

The hostel was clean and warm, the rooms were well laid out, with a safe for each person. It's such an odd looking building, but that's definitely part of the charm! The large kitchen/common area looks cool both from within and from the street looking up at it: the huge windows, and the warm coloured, up-lit walls make it so cosy! The hostel is spitting distance from Hallgrimskirkja, you can see it from the common room windows. This means you're in the heart of the city - great if you have no transport! It does mean you're in the heart of the tourist traps too... so any shop nearby (with the exception of Kronan stores) will be more expensive than those further afield. The staff leave you to do your own thing, the cleaners are all super friendly, the showers are always hot, and in decent condition. It really exceeded my expectations. I might have wished for an onsite bar or cafe for socializing, but everything is so expensive in Iceland that I was glad of the lack of temptation! And if you do need that sort of diversion, the B47 Hostel, which occupies the lower floors of the same building, has something like that. I'm sure it would have been okay to use it.

Very basic but very good value. Great location right next to the famous church everything in walking distance. Breakfast is included and had a great selection. This alone with save you 20-30$ a day! I recommend upgrading to a room with a microwave kettle cutlery and sink so you can get some food from Bonus. The downers. It's cold especially when you go to use the shower / bathroom which is shared. I thought it would be shared with another room but it looks like it's for all 7 units. The window is always open and someone keeps the back door open to outside. I kept having to close it. Reception is in the breakfast area which is in another building Guesthouse Aurora which is a few houses over so be prepared to get your boots and coats to walk over. Alot of stairs and up and down in case this is a challenge for you. Lastly it can be loud due to the closeness of the other rooms and guests. Also my room was on the street side so it can get loud there as well. All in all for the price it is great value for this city. It's nothing fancy and perfect if on a budget (or cheap like me)!g

Les hébergements sont chers en Islande. Cette guesthouse est une excellente option à Reykjavik, si vous avez la même chance que nous. Nous avons réservé une chambre quadruple et nous avions demandé et obtenu une grande chambre avec deux grands lits, qui comporte aussi une cuisine-salon, donc un petit appartement . D’autres chambres quadruples, étonnamment au même prix, sont avec un grand lit et deux lits superposés et semblent beaucoup plus petites. La guesthouse est très proche de la fameuse église Hallgrimskirkja et le centre est atteint à pied sans problème. Pas de réception: on reçoit des codes pour entrer et en cas de problème on appelle par téléphone. Toilettes et douches sont partagées. Le petit déjeuner en self service est inclus mais la cuisine est vraiment petite et guère pratique; c’est le seul inconvénient.

I really liked this place, a friend recommended it and it didn’t disappoint. it was very clean and the staff helpful and nice/always smiling. I chose a 6-bed room and made a lot of girl friends in one week staying there! It’s close to the city centre and it has a lovely view on the church (not all the rooms I reckon!) . It was warm inside and given my long stay they offered fresh towels/bed sheets which I refused since I was mostly out all day. I’m not sure I liked the fact a male would take care of the turndown service since because of that I didn’t feel comfortable sleeping or lying down in my pj or underwear, maybe being that a female dorm I would’ve sent a lady to knock first and THEN anybody else, but it wasn’t the end of the world! I’ll surely book here should I visit Reykjavik again!

Great hostel. My wife and I stayed for a night - we got a double room and private bath. Fully modern with a large kitchen and common area. Would stay here again for sure. Parking was easy, and the campus is only a 10-15 minute walk from “Old Reykjavik.”

We stayed here for one night when we first arrived in Iceland, and for another one night stay just before we left Iceland a week later! So I can honestly say that we would go back, in fact, we *did* happily go back! The hostel is clean and comfy and the staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Late check-in for one of our visits was super easy too. They do a breakfast with a good range of nice food - continental breakfast style. The rooms are maybe a bit variable - one night we were in a basement twin room that was quite basic, but the other night we were in a beautiful studio room. The hostel has several buildings on the same street, so I suppose it’s just luck of the draw which is available when you book, but both of them were clean and comfy, so no complaints. I’d also say the price was good value - obviously Reykjavik is generally quite expensive but I couldn’t find a better deal than this. The location was great too, on a quiet street just a few minutes walk into the centre of the touristy area in Reykjavik.
