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.

Staff very helpful. Dorm living. Good value. Beds somewhat uncomfortable. Convenient 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.

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..

After flying all night, I arrived early at the property. They refused to check me in. I offered to pay for the extra night. They also refused. The Indian guy at the front desk said that they didn't have any beds ready and that I'd have to wait until 2 PM. Later I found out that the room I was in, had three open and clean beds from the day before. I complained to the manager, but not sure if he did anything about his front repectionists and their lies...I won't be staying there in the future, that's for damn sure.

Great facilities. Location is better if you are driving, but you can still walk to downtown.
Lovely staff!

Fine but there were very loud people outside at 3am. Woke us up.

Some travelers stay here longer term and have their things in the kitchens and rooms. The hostel doesn't ensure the kitchens and rooms remain organized, nor ensure that beds are marked for new travelers. There was a conflict in my room because staff gave someone new a person's bed who had been there.

The hostel is ok overall, however the dorm room was very hot during the day since it faces the sun in the afternoon and has very little ventilation.

Other guests made our staff horrible though the staff were lovely. The beds were comfy but the bathrooms were a joke; I don’t know how often they were cleaned but I had other people’s head hair stuck to my feet every time I went in there.

Room was nice and clean, location was great, just a fifteen minute walk and you are downtown. Kitchen was one of the worst I’ve seen in a hostel. 3 forks, 5 spoons and very limited plates/bowls. I know the hostel can not control how people leave the kitchen how we maybe If everything wasn’t broken or missing more people would appreciate it?!

Hmmm...one of those poor hostels you hear about. No proper blinds on the windows, people having sex in the shared dorm, etc

This hostel was fine. It had everything I needed. The bed was pretty creaky, but it was a hostel bed...so that was expected.
3.0
Excellent service and clean but noisy due to poor hotel design. People were arriving super late and leaving super early and it was too hard for them to be quiet - even with earplugs.

The price was great. The bus for trips and to the international airport started in front of the hostel.
5.0
The bus hostel was very clean, staff friendly, and a short walk away from downtown Reykjavik/ major attractions. Overall, very pleased with my stay!
