Very intresting decor and very nice people working there. Comofortable bed amd nice warm rooms

No elevator, and it was at times ro noise from people aitting and deinking in the comon are

The kitchen had good facilities, stove top, microwave, knife, utensils, plates and bowls. Basic cooking ingredients like salt was available. Free food section for leaving food that is unfinished but still okay for others to eat, like peanut butter, pasta, bread, jam was left over.

There is no lift in this building and it was not made known during booking. However when we asked, male staff was able to help us carry one big luggage down the stairs on checking out. Common area was very noisy even past 12, would be good if signs were put up and staff could do some patrolling to tell people to keep their volume down at the floors where there are rooms.

Gorgeously decorated common areas and bar. The food available at the bar was good. Located a short walk from the Sun Voyager and Harpa. There is public parking available outside and it is free in the evening.

Was expecting more of a social hostel, but it wasn't too friendly. Dorm room was a bit small and the entire hostel was very dark (a bit depressing when Iceland is already so dark in the winter!) I wasn't able to book a female-only dorm.
