Easy to check in, the place was very well kept & the staff was very friendly. They had a small continental breakfast available by 4am for those of us leaving on the super early flights out of KEF which was appreciated.

Hotel is very well. Fast check in, easy, and breakfast is served from 4:00 am. Big and clean rooms with kitchen and big windows. We watched northern lights from there!!! People in front of the hotel smoke drugs... but location to the airport is excellent

Washroom is shared, my problem, I did not check carefully, they said that. Breakfast is not too much, but for the price I paid, it’s normal, I believe.

On our trip the was my biggest concern, staying in a hostel with an 84 year old women. Boy was I wrong this place was excellent, clean, awesome breakfast and close to airport. We stayed in a five single bed room with private bathroom. Shower is a little high step to get into but other than that the people were great and helpful and delicious breakfast starting at 4am for our early flight. Situated on an old US Air Force station I questioned it when driving in but will not make that mistake again

honestly, this was my first time staying in a hostel, so I don't have the proper context to compare hostel to hostel, but comparing to a hotel, Start hostel was clean, quiet, I felt safe, the staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, simply decorated with just what you need. Beds were comfy. Though the bathroom maybe seemed a little dated, everything was clean and in working order. The room had plenty of outlets/ plugs and even had USB ports, so we could easily plug in our cell phones for charging without a converter. The breakfasts was an elevated continental offering with hot and cold cereals, a variety of baked goods, a large assortment of fresh fruit, breakfast meat (cold not hot, so no bacon or sausage) and hard boiled eggs, plus Coffee, tea, etc. We stayed one night, so that we were close to the airport for our flight the next morning. It was perfect because we also had a reservation for the Blue Lagoon the night before, and Start hostel was a quick drive over and back. WE had a family suite which had lots of space including 2 bedrooms. I would definitely stay here again for convenience to the airport!

we booked this hotel as it was close to airport and we arrived during the night. the receptionist was very friendly. having stayed in 4 location whilst visiting Iceland, always booking rooms with two single beds and separate bedrooms, typically in 3-4 star accommodations. I could say this was really a good hotel. the room was spacious and clean (no tv but didn't needed one). bathroom had a bathtub. also the room had a fridge which was useful as we had some leftover food. The nice surprise was that in the morning we had breakfast which was the most varied whilst we were in Iceland. cherry tomatoes, several types of cheese and eggs, and also several types pastries.
