There is no staff, but the key codes work well, and the coffee is sometimes working. And the place is well located close to the center of fun in the capital city. And close to bus stop number one, which was super convenient for tours.Highly recommend this place.My room was cozy and comfortable, and the wash room was close by!

Room was small but functional and clean. Only staff we really saw was the cleaning staff, but knew this going in with self check in. Coffee and specialty teas available in the common area. 4 floors and no elevator, but this is common in Europe. Bag storage on main floor was a life saver, not having to bring our large bags up to the fourth floor. This hotel is in a very good location for the downtown amenities! I recommend for a budget stay in Reykjavik.

So this was a fantastic property. It was centrally located to just about everything in Reykjavík. It was more than a hostel, and the private rooms were well worth the price. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip.

There are no staff or check in reception. You’ll get an email with an entry code and a room door code. For longer stays with luggage. There are only stairs. Each floor has a shared toilet and shower’s. There is little room for luggage in the room. For younger groups who basically just need a clean bed to sleep this would be great. The location is outstanding. A short walk from great restaurants, nightlife and shopping. It’s not the best choice for older people who may enjoy larger storage for luggage and clothing or their own bathroom.

The location is excellent, and I really liked the free coffee and tea station. There is also a spacious seating area where you can charge your phone. My room was clean when I arrived, and the communal showers were also mostly clean. However, during my three-day stay, my room wasn’t cleaned at all, and I didn’t receive any fresh towels despite messaging the property to request some. I also had to contact Expedia because the hotel didn’t send me the access codes needed to enter the building/room. However, as a solo female traveller, I felt safe, and I would stay here again.

This place was exactly what we needed. We stayed for about five nights, spending most of our time on road trips and visiting lagoons, so we didn’t need anything overly luxurious for our home base. Despite having shared showers and bathrooms, everything was consistently very clean. Interestingly, I never saw a staff member during our stay, yet the property was clearly well maintained. The showers were always available when we needed them, with no waiting. The location was also a big plus—many key parts of Reykjavík were just a short walk from the front door. I’d definitely stay here again. 10/10. Also, a lot of close by parking that you can finagle overnight with good timing :) Thanks for having us!! Hope to come back soon!!

The room was clean, albeit a bit small. The walls are practically paper thin so bring a pair of noise cancelling headphones. Despite the noise, it is a perfectly nice place to stay and relatively inexpensive, as well as being in a great location. If you are on a budget, then it is worth staying here.

Now called Old Town and not Kastali, I found the hostel to be in a great location, quiet despite the being well occupied, the rooms fine, and the bathrooms kept clean the entire time I was there. Pretty nice, actually.
