Student Hostel - Reykjavík

Abby H.

It’s a lovely student hostel, with clean shared bathroom and kitchen. Worth mentioning that their kitchen utensils are well maintained!!

Although Hostel is at outskirts of city centre, it’s only 10-15 mins walk to those main attractions.
Not many people staying in this place, it’s nice and quiet to rest. Shout out to receptionist, forgot his name, he is friendly and helpful!

Everything was perfect. The hostel is in a great location, a few steps from the bus station, the national museum and the very center. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the common areas have everything you need. Special thanks to the very nice, friendly and helpful staff. I definitely recommend it to everyone.

We had a very pleasant stay at the student hostel at the University of Iceland. We had a twin room with a private bathroom. The room is quite tiny with little space to put your suitcase. The beds were VERY comfortable. There is a large shared functional kitchen with large freezers and fridge. It has dishes, pots, toaster, coffee maker and kettle. The staff are lovely. There was ample close parking.

Enjoyed our two-night stay here. We had a private room with two singles with a sink in the room which worked well. Was easy to walk everywhere from the location, and the kitchen and bathrooms were spotless.

Wonderfully close to the bus terminal to catch a ride to the airport. Would definitely stay here again if I’m back this way.

Room was clean and small. Very barebones, no tv, no phone. However, for me, the price was very good and I just needed somewhere safe, secure and comfortable to lay my head for a night between a cruise and my next flight. Only less than a 20 minute walk into the high street of town, I thought the location was good. The staff were very friendly and informative. I would stay here again.

Welcoming, comfortable, clean.

Private room was as advertised. Plenty of space and beds comfortable.
Plenty of shared lounge space and great to have kitchen with fridge.

Our room was available on arrival at 1015 am.
Reception staff friendly and welcoming.
Only an easy 10 minute walk to downtown.
Price was very good compared to other hotels.
Overall highly recommended.

I was very satisfied: bathrooms and showers are on the floor and not in the room, but they are very clean and always available. The position is also convenient, not too far from downtown Reykjavik. The price, given the Icelandic standard, is definitely worth the deal!

This concerns the student housing. Common rooms are locked without explanation, keys don't work on all entrances, every door opens differently. There is no responsible on site, not even in the first week. There was no information or welcome session. The contract started after! the semester started. The cancellation of the contract is unclear. Rent payment is overly complicated and again, there was no information in the beginning. There is no wifi in the rooms, even though it works perfectly in the kitchens, hallways and common rooms. How much effort would be needed to make it work in the rooms? The rooms were empty: no bedsheets or blanket or soap or lamps or pillows or anything, but guess what? All those things are locked up in the cellar anyone can see them, even half empty soap bottles. How much money would they lose by just providing them for us? Also, apparently overnight guests are not allowed?

Great location! Room was comfortable enough.
Shared female restroom need some throughout cleaning as the mildew is all over the showers. It is very hard to get a good night of sleep with people in and out slamming the main door. The shared kitchen is a good idea but could use some cleaning. Also when I booked it said that luggage store was provided free but apparently to be safe you have to get paid locker. 🙁

Stayed in a room with a private bathroom. The room is clean, the beds are very comfy and it is very quiet. There is a big, fully equipped kitchen with a small lounge area. Free parking outside. Only a 10-minute walk to the city center. You get the hotel feeling but also a kitchen and common areas which is great.

Enjoyed my 2 night stay in a private room. Comfortable bed. Fairly spacious room and basic but pleasant furnishings. Clean and quiet. No wifi signal in the room. Location is convenient, an easy walk into town, and right on a main road for going further afield. Directly across from the free university gravel parking lot. Staff were pleasant. I didn't use the communal spaces but there were many, and looked like a good kitchen.
Good value overall for Reykjavik, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

We felt quite lucky that we spontaneously ended up in the student hostel after we had to adjust our travel plans due to delayed luggage. All of the staff has been very friendly and super helpful. Especially Agga has been very sympathetic, made us feel welcome in the hostel, and helped us two very stressed travelers a ton.

As for the premises, there are large common spaces, well cleaned and equipped with everything one might need in a hostel. Staying here comes recommended!

I booked a twin room for a conference week. I really like the calm of the place, the large kitchen was always clean and had a comfortable sofà. At the first floor, there was a common living/reading room (I had not have the time to stay in there, but it seemed quite beautiful).
Close to the center and the sea, a lot of bus stop just outside the main entrance.
