    amazing hostel. Excellent food and beer at the restaurant. Bathrooms separated from sinks and showers which is more hygienic. Great vibes. Great location. Gets the job done. Kitchen clean. I will totally stay again next time.

    This hostel is super cute with lots of decorations outside which make it looks like very cozy. Inside you have a super nice common area (separated from the bar, so it is not noisy at all) with a very good taste furniture (I loved the old sewing machine!). We were in a triple room and beds were comfortable and well sound isolated. Kitchen was a bit small for all guests, but we managed. Showers and bathroom were clean.

    Central location (small town anyway) A lot of parking Comfy beds Would have been a perfect youth hostel accommodation (if not for the price: 280,- € per night)

    A really funky hostel, that looks nothing from the outside. You walk in to an amazingly cool bar, where the hostel reception is. They then slide the doors open into a lovely lounge with a TV and games etc the rooms are off the lounge. We had a 6 bed room to ourselves. The kitchen and showers are on the other side of the lounge and are very well equipped. We loved staying here and it was the cheapest accomodation that we booked whilst in Iceland. Very good value. The bar also had snacks and obviously drinks, but wasn't at all noisy.
