I was thoroughly impressed by this facility! I was in a 6-bed room (only 4 in use at the time). I want to highlight this bed was very spacious and comfortable, even for me as someone who is quite tall! The amenities (lounge area, small kitchen space with fridge, microwave, kettle, bathrooms/showers, drying area) were well designed and very accessible. Yes, it was a bit loud at times at night being a shared space (snoring, doors opening) but I felt very safe throughout the stay. I also enjoyed the access to purchase breakfast/dinner during the stay.

Midgaurd Base Camp was the perfect location after a long day of travel, between the Golden Circle and the rest of southern Iceland. Parking was easy, delicious dinner and breakfast, comfortable beds. I stayed for one night and have no complaints, great value for money
