Good place to sleep for a night. I wouldnt stay longer than one night as they are beocming "eco friendly" and require push button showers which is difficult with long hair to wash. Clean and friendly, reasonably priced.

Shared facilities were ample and nice. They had great activities available in the shared area. Quiet hours were a bit skewed (11p-9a). I liked that the bathrooms had towels for hand drying. I liked that the showers were one area and bathrooms were another. It was efficient. It was nice to have a kitchen to use. Staff was great. Everything was super clean. It was a fun, quirky place. Restaurant looked cool but we didn't eat there.

My check in was awesome! I loved that there was a cafe/bar attached to the hostel. After a long drive it was great to get something got to drink. The bed as the most comfortable I’ve slept on during my month long travel! Excellent place!

Budget fun!

Two nights in eastern Iceland - The layout was cleverly designed to accommodate different’classes’ of service - campers, dorm rooms and couples/families. The food was limited but excellent and the hosts were very kind and caring. There were programs in the bar / restaurant both nights but they ended well before bedtime and added to the fun. Highly recommended!

The hot water smelled like sulfur. It is connected to a bar so it was extremely loud. Wasn’t very clean. It was fine, but the price was pretty high for the quality.

Enkelt, men rent og ordentlig overnattingssted. Rommene hadde vindu ut mot uteservering og parkeringsplass, og dermed ble det litt mye lyd om man hadde vinduet på lufting. Og uten AC på rommet, måtte vi ha lufting. Ellers helt ok, sentralt og fint. Hyggelig personale. Gode senger.
