"The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hostel itself is perfectly located to be able to walk around the shopping and restaurant part of Reykjavik. The dormitories were perfectly adequate, though if you're not very limber, you might want to request a lower bunk and not an upper one. Bathrooms were very clean and lots of lovely hot water."

10/10 Excellent
"I needed a place to sleep and store my luggage while I ate and drank my way around the city. The $175us per night I saved over a regular hotel made that endeavor hurt a bit less. 😊 Pod was clean, bathroom was clean, common area was useful. 10/10 for my priorities. I'll be back!"
