Convenient location to gas station and grocery store. Onsite cafe and bar, big free parking lot. The hotel is a bit outdated, I had A five bunk beds private room for 4 people, no desk or shelf, but I used one bed to put stuff, works fine. Bathroom setup more like campground, individual room has door and curtain. Press button once hot water comes down, but only last 5-10 seconds. I have to repeatly press button. Kitchen has cookwares, utensil and plates. Range stove only has one out of 4 stove top works, dishwasher works great. Microwave, fridge also available. Room is clean. Staff is helpful. Given the affordable price, quick 1-2 night stay still worth.

Budget fun!

Two nights in eastern Iceland -
The layout was cleverly designed to accommodate different’classes’ of service - campers, dorm rooms and couples/families.
The food was limited but excellent and the hosts were very kind and caring.
There were programs in the bar / restaurant both nights but they ended well before bedtime and added to the fun.
Highly recommended!

Shared facilities were ample and nice. They had great activities available in the shared area. Quiet hours were a bit skewed (11p-9a). I liked that the bathrooms had towels for hand drying. I liked that the showers were one area and bathrooms were another. It was efficient.
It was nice to have a kitchen to use. Staff was great. Everything was super clean. It was a fun, quirky place. Restaurant looked cool but we didn't eat there.

Loved thos hostel! First off thank you to the gentleman who upgraded us to a more comfortable room with a double and a bunk for our 4 yr old. Greatly apreciated. He also gave our son colouring books to play which was sweet. Kitchen was nice, common room very confortable, spacious and cool decor. There was kareoke in the bar beside us which played fun music. Beds were comfy and our son didn't want to leave! Thank you.

This is the 1st property i have seen which is so Eco-friendly. It was our first time staying at a hostel and the family loved the setup. The toilets were very clean so shared toilets wasn't an issue. The kids loved the lounge area as it had plenty of activities to keep them busy while we rested in our room.

Enkelt, men rent og ordentlig overnattingssted. Rommene hadde vindu ut mot uteservering og parkeringsplass, og dermed ble det litt mye lyd om man hadde vinduet på lufting. Og uten AC på rommet, måtte vi ha lufting. Ellers helt ok, sentralt og fint. Hyggelig personale. Gode senger.
