This is student dorms that are available for guests to use in the summer. Nice, clean, quiet and well located by the ponds and within easy walking of Harpa/Old harbor. Bus stop locate within 1 minute walk of front door of the hostel. For those who might have an interest in such things, there is a beautiful old cemetery out past the dorms. If available, I'd stay at the student hostel next time I'm in Reykjavik. Front desk folks were very helpful and friendly. ![view of the student hostel building](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1e7bc2e4-6811-4311-ae0a-71c160e7e378-1753388779846.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Cemetery about a 2 blocks beyond the hostel.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7377509f-e2d8-4109-bb43-fa435931b6e3-1753388799096.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### JOHN Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah Jun 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very well furnished hostel, great style and great location: close to BSI and the city center. Only one thing was a bit disturbing: the room door shakes every time another doors shuts me you can here any door closing. Maybe a door closer for the main doors could help… Thanks a lot! ##### Sarah Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Pensão Residencial Vila Teresinha](https://www.expedia.ca/Funchal-Hotels-Pensao-Residencial-Vila-Teresinha.h2530295.Hotel-Information) > - [Cheap Hotels in ByWard Market](https://www.expedia.ca/ByWard-Market-Ottawa-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n553248633981688734-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Nueva Central Camionera](https://www.expedia.ca/Nueva-Central-Camionera-Guadalajara-Hotels.0-n676012744749445120-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [ODDSSON Midtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Oddsson.h34036596.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Reykjavík Grand](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Reykjavik.h45483.Hotel-Information) > - [Casino Hotels in Aruba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Aruba-Casino-Hotel.0-0-d9-tCasinoHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > - [Egilsborg Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Egilsborg-Guesthouse.h4184651.Hotel-Information) > - [Hlemmur Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hlemmur-Loft.h101728329.Hotel-Information) > - [Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Reykjavik-Hotels-Icelandair-Hotel-Reykjavik-Marina.h4828813.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near Egyptian Museum](https://www.expedia.ca/Egyptian-Museum-Hotels.0-l6073085-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Apartments San Pedro](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Apartments.d9913-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > - [Oceanfront Hotels in Oregon Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Oregon-Coast-Hotels-Oceanfront-Hotels.0-0-d6051538-tOceanfrontHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Le Journey Elegance Cruise](https://www.expedia.ca/Ha-Long-Hotels-Le-Journey-Elegance-Cruise-On-Lan-Ha-Bay.h110881625.Hotel-Information) > - [Kanazawa Central Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kanazawa-Hotels-Kanazawa-Central-Hotel.h13150757.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Riu-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive.h2818771.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Ishigaki](https://www.expedia.ca/Ishigaki-Hotels.d1635.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > - [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to College Park (ATL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/atl/toronto-to-atlanta) > - [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Prince George (YXS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yxs/vancouver-to-prince-george) > - [Flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Windsor (STS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sfo/sts/san-francisco-to-santa-rosa) > - [Flights from Cleveland (CLE) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cle/las/cleveland-to-las-vegas) > - [Flights from Teixeira de Freitas (TXF) to St. Thomas (STT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/txf/stt/teixeira-de-freitas-to-st-thomas) > - [Flights from Deer Lake - Corner Brook](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/6057678/flights-from-deer-lake-corner-brook) > - [Flights from New York, NY (NYC-All Airports) to Montreal, QC (YUL-Pierre Elliott Trudeau Intl.)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/nyc/yul/new-york-to-montreal) ### Cars > - [Thrifty Car Rental Car Rentals In Luton](https://www.expedia.ca/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Luton.d5133388-c45.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > - [Car rentals in Oakland](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Oakland.d601762.Car-Rental-Guide) > - [Car rentals in Cupi](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Cupi.d553248635973465500.Car-Rental-Guide)
