The receptionist was nice. However, the owner was rude and did not think for customs, not even wanting to help.

This hostel exceeded expectations! We LOVED it, we never usually stay in hostels but wanted to save some money on our Iceland trip and stumbled across this accomodation!! It is clean and friendly staff. The room is nice and cosy , with windows to ventilate. The kitchen is really well equipped and spacious. We highly recommend this place !!!

This was the best guesthouse we stayed in during our week long trip. Modern, clean, spacious and with a kitchen that has literally everything you can think of! Plenty of seating area in dining room. Room itself was great , good number of bathrooms that are pretty clean and spacious!

I would consider this the BEST place I stayed at on my Ring Road trip in Iceland. Spotless, super clean rooms. Nice kitchen with fridge, stoves, toaster, and sinks. Property is in a very quiet area. Lots of parking to be had outside. A 24 hour N1 Gas Station is super close to the property so you can walk there for snacks & coffee if you'd like. You can also walk a little further up the road and go to Netto for basic groceries. I honestly don't have a single negative thing to say about this property.

There is free car park just outside the hostel. You will have a basin in each room which is good. The price is affordable. The facility is clean and comfortable. The cons is the surrounding is not dark enough to watch for northern light.

Family of 4 travelling on the ring road circle. We arrived very late and the staff is kind enough to leave us key cards and note to enter the room. Facilities are modern and very clean. Community kitchen area is well equipped. I would suggest to have an additional toaster as everyone’s waiting for the one toaster in the morning to toast their bread. We had a great night of sleep. Would highly recommend this place!
