Basic Accommodation with Everything You Need
Blondous is a small town in Iceland and there is not much choices for hotel or hostel. Riverside Hostel is clean and equipped with a kitchen which you can cook your food. Everything is well appointed and we'll definitely stay in Riverside Hostel again if we visit Blondous again.

OK. No more, no less.
OK room with access to kitchen. 6 rooms sharing 1 totilet and bath. Wi-Fi. Nice view from our side of the building. I find the room a little expensive.

Aðstaða sem kom á óvart miðað við verð.
Gistiheimilið var mjög hreint og snyrtilegt. Eldhús vel búið. Rúmin góð. Netsamband gott. Þjónustan góð. Engin handklæði og ekki sjónvarp. Nærumhverfi mjög skemmtilegt, með auðugu fuglalífi á Blöndu og gömlum húsum sem verið er að gera upp.
