Lovely hostel. Very best

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing hostel, so happy I chose it. The receptionists are amazing, friendly and informative. The rooms, bathrooms, lounge and outside areas are all super clean, welcoming and comfortable.. the activities are a lot and they pick you up from right in front of the hostel. And the downtown is just a 20 mins walk … totally recommend!

Bus Hostel is what it is... convenient location to airport transportation and downtown Reykjavik, relatively affordable (for Iceland), clean, and friendly staff. But the shared bathrooms need more hooks to hang clothes!
Kermit, 2-night trip

There was a structural problem with one of the beds, but it was addressed promptly and professionally with a suitable, permanent repair. I was also impressed by the good work of the cleaning staff.

I had a great stay here. Very nice work area where I could sit down and work on my laptop. The bathrooms were very clean. The walk to downtown is also easy. Great place to stay for a solo traveller.
Robert, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Only stayed a night. Place was clean. Be careful the bathrooms may be slippery if someone used the shower beforehand. Staff were helpful. I found it to be pretty far from everything. I didnt see many restaurants or stores within walkable distance. Was a 15 min walk away from bsi bus station. Hostel is really warm inside.

Jocilyn, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

If ALL you need is a clean bed, in an affordable dorm, yo’ll get it. But there is no vibe inside or out. The place is cold, boring and very far from any coffee shop, restaurant, pub and all tourist attractions.

Good place very clean. My room is next to the kitchen so it was quite noisy early evening. The public areas are well maintained.

Much better than I expected!
Steven, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Would be nice if, "quiet time at 9:00 pm" was posted. And no lights. It's a hostel, 14 beds in my room, 8 people trying to sleep and 6 were a bit rude.
Cheryl, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommend, tours can start from here, direct transportation from airport direct bus. And the facility is very clean and convenient. Staff is lovely and overall lovely stay.
Yuliana, 1-night trip

Most of the tours pick up from here. 20’ walk to downtown. 17’ walk to Flybus stop to KEF airport. Nice big restrooms.

Easy access for busses to and from the airport and for tours of the island. Clean quiet and friendly staff.

Well cleaned and well maintained
Joseph, 14-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good budget option about 20m walk from Halmgrimskirka. Easy logistics, everything makes sense, staff very accommodating. A few minor issues: west facing rooms get very hot on sunny days and no real option to cool (other than drawing shades). As others have noted, shower/WC combo means WC is often unavailable, especially around 6am when buses to out. It was surprisingly quiet the three days I was there, even though they were full all nights. Kitchen is serviceable for quick meals and keeping items cool (no freezer) -- they are aggressive about removing unlabeled items but labels are provided/easy. It does get busy and a bit loud in the half hour or so before big tours pull out. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised this worked so well.
