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..

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

Bus terminal

Not so clean but nice staff

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.

u have to pay for towels

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?!

pro: close to bus station, friendly staff con: not close to center or any supermarkets. kitchen is dirty. no enough shared bath rooms for the dorm rooms

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.

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.

The bus hostel was very clean, staff friendly, and a short walk away from downtown Reykjavik/ major attractions. Overall, very pleased with my stay!

There were 2 out of 6 bathrooms where nothing was broken. One had no door, one had no handle or lock for the door, and two had broken shower heads. Reviews from weeks ago mention the doors and nothing has been fixed. Management doesn’t seem to care much. Also, the pictures provided are out of date. The lobby has been remodeled and they removed the bar, essentially removing the major social aspect of the place. It’s in a weird location for walking, but you can make it downtown in about 20 minutes.

Pros 24 hr front desk Shoes off upon enterance Cons Bathrooms not working 30 people to two bathrooms, one was broken for a whole week, during morning rush hour to the tour buses and leaving, you would have to get up at 5 in the morning to go to the bathroom Bathroom without hand soap or toilet paper or hand dryer or paper towels Bathroom with open key lock Bunk beds uncomfortable Top bunk bed - inconvenient climbing the wooden pieces to get on top- you bang your knees and upset the bottom dweller.

Lovely hostel, perfect location right at bus stations and near city centre. Wish that the kitchen was a little bigger as was a quite cramped at times and had to wait periods to cook dinner but aside from that everything was great.
