Angela VaughnMarch 25, 2011Awesome hostel, lots of cool people, the staff know their shit, and make sure you ask for breakfast 30 min beforehand because they bake it for you.
Best hostel in Reykjavik! Right at the centre of the city, reasonable priced (In Icelandic standard), friendly and helpful staff!
Milan DufekMarch 25, 2014Not so good at the Akureyri brother but still fine place in downtown on one of the most party-like street you can be. Little bit chaotic service. Happy hours 16-20 at the bar.
craSHJanuary 15, 2011Very nice hostel, clean quiet and kind staff! Also the place to have your laundry done in the area, $10USD even if you aren't staying here!
If you're going to take the free shot at the bar, try one of the icelandic liquors (Tópas, Opal, Brennivín).
Jurriaan PersynAugust 26, 2013Private double room was clean and cosy. More charm than the HI hostels.
Awesome check in specials at the bar, especially for first-timers.
Eric ButlerJanuary 11, 2011They'll do your laundry for $10USD if you're staying there or not. Very friendly staff too!

"Pod beds look very futuristic - there's a couple of different variants they have so you might get old or new design pods. Relaxation room with Netflix / games consoles. Their breakfast is a ripoff."
