Good, Private

A less social hostel, the only time you’ll see other people is in the kitchen. The beds are thinner than other Hostels in Iceland (we stayed at Kex in Reykjavik as well), and the pillows were harder. The views though are really nice, the service is what you’d expect, and the kitchen is minimally but sufficiently stocked with cooking utensils.

Exactly what you would expect from a good hostel. Clean, with easy access, well equipped communal kitchen, free parking right up the street, walking distance from grocery store, restaurants, and the shore.

Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis

Die Unterkunft ist sehr einfach, aber man hatte eigentlich alles was man braucht. Die Küche war super und gut ausgestattet. Außerdem gab ein Regel für Essen/Gewürze, die genutzt werden konnten. Die Lage ist super für Ausflüge in den Nationalpark! Wir waren im grünen Haus. Das Zimmer war eher klein und das Fenstwr im Bad konnten wir nur von Außen schließen. Andere Zimmer waren teilweise größer und schöner.
