In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Free on-site parking — Guests repeatedly mention complimentary parking, a rare convenience in Reykjavik and a real money-saver.
  • Well-equipped shared kitchen — A fully stocked kitchen allows guests to cook their own meals, cutting down on dining costs in an expensive city.
  • Helpful and friendly staff — The team is consistently described as welcoming, knowledgeable and eager to share local tips.
  • Eco-friendly ethos — The hostel carries an eco label, reflecting a commitment to sustainability that resonates with environmentally conscious travellers.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not in the city centre — You're in Reykjavik East, roughly a 30-40 minute walk to the centre or a short drive. The nearest bus stop is 400 metres away.
  • Comfort and facilities are the weakest categories — With comfort rated 7.5 and facilities 7.6, the rooms and on-site amenities are decent but not standout — expect basic, functional spaces.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, you'll need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window is limited — Reception is open from 15:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive late at night, you'll need to plan ahead.

“The staff were friendly, helpful, and just lovely. The room was cosy and had everything needed. There was a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of quiet corners. The atmosphere and cleanliness were great.”

8.3Verified guest

“Good distance from the city centre if you have a car. The beds were surprisingly long for tall guests. Staff were friendly and gave useful tips. Free coffee and earplugs were available. Clean rooms, blackout curtains, and fully equipped kitchens. Parking was free.”

8.3Verified guest

“As trekkers and a group of friends, we appreciated the friendly, caring staff. The location was great, so close to the ocean. The hostel bar served a good breakfast and the matcha with oat drink was a highlight. Having a private electric socket by each bed made charging easy. Laundry could be done in a private room, and the private kitchen let us cook and eat with others, which added to the international vibe.”
