AMISH
Lack of on site personnel made things a bit difficult as other guests kept coming in late and banged on the door at midnight when they couldn’t get the code to work to enter the property. Showers were cleaned but had a bit of sewage smell. Showers could use some upgrades.
Barbara
Clean room, practical amenities and plenty of showers.
Aaron
Washrooms could use some updating due to staining and poor ventilation. Everything else was nice.
Trucmy
Great stay. Everything clean. Great kitchen and laundry. Great staff and parking. Thank you!
Robert
Stay away! Black mold all over window frames. Beds are cheap children's bunk beds that i was afraid would collapse. Mattress worn and uncomfortable. Bathrooms smelled of feces. In the kitchen only one outlet works so the refrigerator (which froze our milk) must be unplugged to use anything that requires power.
Benjamin
Cool hostel
Ricky
This place is new, clean. But it is better to provide free towel for customer
Lynn-marie
It was very easy to check in, I arrived really late and I loved the self check-in!
Alyssa
This was such a cute little hostel! The kitchen was very cosy and had everything that someone might need. There were lots of washrooms so never had to wait. The rooms were really cozy and everything was very clean. Will be coming back here on our next trip!
Sheila
Don’t let the outside of the building scare you away. The inside is clean, plenty or WC, kitchen is small but adequate. Hostel is a self check in. Only downside was I had to call and message for room and code. Other than that, it was great.
Michael
Basically self service.
Jacob
Nice, affordable and peaceful.
Upgraded to the private cabins (same owner) and was not disappointed. Beautiful small town and the host was very kind.
Verified traveler
Rooms small but clean, with coupboard, table and chairs. Bathroom also clean and kitchen seemed to have sll the basic you would need (we didn´t have use the kitchen tho) only negarice thing was the screeching in the beds.
Evelyne
Very organized nice place with an easy self check-in. Clean and well decorated house. Breakfast included with cereals, bread and spreads and fruits which were very appreciated. It is also very well located, near the Keflavik airport and near grocery stores and gas station.

No frills pit stop
Clean, efficient hostel. What we expected for the money. Make sure to bring your own coffee!
Tina
Dorm style housing, but had all the basic amenities. We used the oven in the kitchen to bake a pizza and the heated towel rack was nice as was the black out curtain.
Liz
Good place to stay in between Reykjavik and Akureyri if driving the ring road and taking your time.
Corinne
Exactly what we needed
This hostel was exactly what we needed - a clean, comfortable place to rest between drives on the West Fjords. Make sure to see the seals and taste the local seafood soup in the area - divine ! Would stay again for sure.
