The staff was so helpful and nice and for traveling from America it was nice that they knew English. Convenient with buses come to the building and have loads of atractions you can choose to do. Definitely recommend for any solo women, I had a mixed dorm and I left my things on my bed, super safe and chill.

I booked this place as it was easy for transport options due to my flight times both from Keflavík and Reykjavik domestic. The bus to Keflavík would stop outside, and it was a hour walk to the domestic airport. It’s also 20mins walk into town which is easily do able or to the BSI - other bus terminal. The bunks don’t creak/ move as you climb onto them. The shower/ toilet facilities were lovely and warm after a long day out in the cold. The cooking facilities also great. Would recommend as also an easy place as a lot of tour pick ups can be arranged from this location.

Was fine, clean. The bottom “bunks” were just mattresses on the floor and there were people living there so not exactly the best hostel vibe, but for one night it was fine.

Not worth the exuberant price of $75 a night, but I guess that's just Iceland. Solo female traveler and felt safe in 16 person co-ed dorm. Private bathrooms were a big perk, and very clean. Room could have been ventilated better (a bit of a smell), but overall very clean. Location is a bit inconvenient if you're trying to explore town (~20 minute walk into downtown), but very convenient for airport bus transfers or tour transfers.

4/10 Fair

This hostel is bare bones and unfriendly. Uncomfortable rooms, no sheets, thin mattress, no towels. It really doesn’t get any cheaper - like sleeping in a prison cell.

Front desk was not very helpful. We have visited Iceland a few times over the years. When asked for directions for bus service. They provided information but that was it. They were more occupied with their conversations with one another than helping guests. We will not come back to this Hostel sadly. There are other hotels that were very friendly and helpful by far than what I experienced at this Bus hostel. Also when we checked into our room the sheets were not cleaned or the bedding comforter. There were hairs and dirt underneath the sheets!! I asked the fellow cleaning to provide clean linens. I’m sorry for the bad review but it is honest.

I was very annoyed as i booked a female only dorm room, then when i was there suddenly men were staying in the dorm with me.. as a sexial violence victim this was very unsettling.. i was given no notice about the fact they stopped having female only dorm rooms.. if i have been given notice i would have changed my travel plans..
