Hostels in Capital Region, Iceland

This hotel boasts an excellent location, just across the road from the ocean, and the sea-facing lounge areas on each floor are absolutely stunning. The elevator is now fixed, so there's no need to worry about heavy luggage. There are two floors dedicated to dorm rooms and two floors with standard rooms. The dorm floors also have plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen is clean and staff clean it daily. I stayed for a week and encountered three different front desk staff members, all of whom were incredibly friendly and even helped me book tours over the phone. This hotel offers amazing value for money – highly recommend it for a stay in Reykjavik!

The common areas are fantastic – clean and well-equipped. The bathroom has great water pressure and a full range of toiletries. Plus, there's a fridge and disposable cutlery on the first floor. However, the capsule room itself is a bit cramped, and it's easy to bump your head.

For a hostel, rooms and toilet/showers are kept clean. Location is fairly accessible to transport and about 20-30 minutes walk to the centre. Kitchen is quite small for the guests but is equipped with hob, cookingware, dinnerware. Towels can be rented at the reception. Unfortunately the reception closes at 9pm so it is trickh for late check ins. Vending machines with cup noodles and drinks available near the reception.

We checked in past midnight. We had booked a room for 5 people, and we were grateful that the hotel upgraded us to a super spacious room upon arrival. Plus, the hotel has an elevator, which saved us from having to carry our luggage upstairs.

Really close to a large supermarket and the bus route for a 10min run into town, small quaint little hostel but sooooo comfortable ! I loved the bunk linen and space, the common areas were also just right and encouraged getting to know fellow travellers Highly recommend for this sweet little hostel, it’s just right for a solo traveller who might want to see more in my opinion, bus route takes you through residential Reykjavík etc

I didn't make a reservation personally, but I couldn't get an email from the owner, who said self-check-in, and after another guest opened the door, I called the owner and went in. Open the part with the room number attached to each room and press the off-time key. When you check out, you can leave it in it. The entrance is not the front door, but the second floor of the next staircase. The underground luggage storage room is You have to go back to the building, not next to it. It was nice to be close to the city center and the museums

I personally feel that if you're planning to visit nearby attractions, you might want to reconsider staying here. It's quite a long walk to get anywhere, and while there are buses, they don't go to every destination. I chose this place mainly because of the cheap price and the fact that it was on the first floor (my luggage was very heavy), but I didn't realize it was so far from the sights. Self check-in is very convenient, and there's a place downstairs where you can cook and eat. The bathrooms are all quite small. It takes some time to adjust the hot and cold water, otherwise you might accidentally scald yourself. Plus, there are no hooks, so I had to put my clothes on the floor. I wouldn't recommend showering here if you're a larger person. Also, if you're a light sleeper, you should think twice, as it's right next to the road and cars pass by all night, making it very noisy. If you can tolerate all of these things and the price fits your budget, then it's still an option.

I want to give an objective review of this hostel. First, the pros: 1. The price is excellent. I stayed for five nights for just over 2000 [currency, e.g., ISK], which is very reasonable considering the prices in Iceland. 2. The communal kitchen and bar are very spacious and bright, making cooking very convenient. 3. The location is central; it's easy to walk anywhere within 15 minutes, and there are bus stops nearby. 4. The hostel has a minimalist, modern design, and the facilities are relatively new. The individual bed curtains provide great privacy. Now, a few areas for improvement: 1. There are a bit too few restrooms and showers, so sometimes you have to wait in line. 2. I really hope they could provide a female-only dorm, even if it's a multi-person room. My bed this time was near the door, and people were constantly coming and going in the middle of the night. Two guys snored loudly, which was incredibly disruptive, and the air quality also deteriorated. I was woken up three times in one night – it was a nightmare. 3. It would be good to separate the male and female bathrooms/showers. Having them mixed is indeed a bit unhygienic.

The room I temporarily brushed was really good for this time to book such a cheap and comfortable room. If there is a private bathroom, it is better. There are supermarkets and shops nearby, which is very convenient!
