Good place very clean. My room is next to the kitchen so it was quite noisy early evening. The public areas are well maintained.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rooms and bathrooms where not clean. Beds were just ok. I will not stay here again. The staff was very friendly though

4/10

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.

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..

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience in this hostel. At the check-in I was informed that the kitchen was not working, which was no problem for me. As I entered the room I noticed that the room was much bigger than the room I booked and it was mixed even through I booked a female only. I asked at the counter about this mistake and they told me that the upper floor was not working so they had to move everyone to the other floors. I should have been informed by email about that which I didn't receive (and I was told that many persons didn't get the email as well). I was told that I could get a refund and look for another place but as it was 12.30 am it was impossible to do that. I stayed one night and for the second night I found a new place to stay and did the checkout at the Bus Hostel. They told me they would reimbursme the second night for sure and that I should write them for the process. I did it right away, but I still didn't get any reply from them...
