Okay. Place was very clean, amenities were good to great, location is nice. But dear Lord the doors. All the room doors have door closers that are set to slam the living daylights out of the door in the last 6 inches of the swing, so when people enter or exit their rooms (which happens about 5 times a minute) there is the equivalent of a sonic boom that reverberates through the entire hostel. It actually got so bad it became comical. I don’t know if it’s an oversight or some form of passive aggression to ensure guests leave smartly, but in the context of a place where the chief activity is sleep, one wonders how this could have been overlooked.
Had a room with shared bathroom. Rooms and bathroom very clean. Easy late checkin - was provided code to access building and room. Available breakfast was standard Iceland hotel/hostel breakfast.

I've never stayed in hostels before but I really enjoyed our stay here.
The facilities were great, very nice kitchen area, nice shared bathroom and good room and bed. No complaints. We had supper watching the falls.

Better than expected actually. Big kitchen. A washing machine would make the stay even better
