Good value for Iceland, solid WiFi , nice bar area. Wood floors and thin walls made things pretty loud , so bring earplugs. Very very comfortable shower room.

vegans : this is a veg friendly menu. Try the Thai Vegan burger and ask for spicy 🌶 hot sauce with it‼️

The Salmon (today’s special) was perfect! Fresh and tasty! The spare ribs were also great! Best value for money so far in Iceland!

Bram Luyten

The fish of the day at 2300kr was amazing. Don’t let the face of the building fool you, the atmosphere and food is TOP.

The showers are just perfect! And a welcome drink . And a sauna ! A sauna in a hostel ! Unfortunately the rooms are too warm at night, not enough fresh air ...

Chill , a beer voucher at check in, nice kitchen and hang out areas. beware of weekend crowd - if you're trying to sleep anytime before 4am you won't.

В Исландии не берут денег за просмотр природных красот. Зато жители с лихвой отыгрываются на стоимости еды и жилья. Этот хостел пошел дальше - в городе со ср. t июля в 8С, берут деньги за одеяла:)
