We enjoyed our stay here on our layover from London to America. The staff was helpful and let us store our luggage while we explored the area. There were some toiletries to use and food to eat from other travelers. I would stay here again if I had a night layover in Iceland.
This stay was a wonderful experience. I’d never stayed in a pod before but everyone in the area was super considerate of being as quiet as possible and helpful. The space inside of the pod was more than expected and it was very comfortable.

Super cool stay! This was my first hostel experience and will considering more
pod hostels because of how much I enjoyed this place. Incredibly easy self check-in and very clean pods and bathrooms. Do recommend!
I could get the wifi to work. It is clean place, obviously others can wake you when they come and go out of the area. it is only 9 mins from the airport.
Never saw any staff, but the process was self-explanatory and simple to figure out.
Just what I needed, thank you for an effective night’s accommodation!
Clean pod. Fun because we felt like we were in space or being cryogenically frozen! Pretty comfy and fine for 2 people (if you like to snuggle a little). Easy check in. Staff was kind and let us store our baggage in the lounge room for the day after we checked out. Nice shared kitchen area with fridge, microwave, coffee machine, air fryer
The pods are comfortable enough for one night , very convenient location, clean bathrooms, kitchen. The only thing which is disturbing is that the pods are squeaky every single time someone moves in them. Especially when you are in the lower one you hear every move the person above you makes.
You get to stay in a pod! How cool is that. The pods are comfy and the bathrooms and showers are clean. A 5 minute cab ride to the airport, and a 45 min bus ride or drive to Reykjavik. This place is perfect if you just need a place to sleep and to get ready for your adventures. Staying here and rent a car is the way to go. Also, Biryani is a short walk away and they have great food.
A simple place to get some rest. Clean and efficient. This is a small business and not a chain. It was very nice if you have a layover and need some sleep.
The pods are a clever way to have inexpensive rooms for short stays.
Checking in is easy. You have a locker in which to store your belongings. Your key card is in there along with clean towels.
To access the pod, you need to use the key card. Once inside, put the key card in the slot to enable the lights and other electronics.
It is fairly large for what it is.
There is a fan to help with those that might feel claustrophobic. Because of the size of the space, I never felt claustrophobic.
Much better than anticipated! Pods are unconventional. Like big Tupperware containers but surprisingly comfortable and very warm. The bathrooms were shared, but individual bathrooms with showers. They were kept very clean. All of the guests were quiet and respectful of others.

It was noisier than anticipated. You can hear whatever is happening outside the pods while trying to sleep and at one point ours shook.
Good for a quick nap.

Disliked: Staff & service
The kitchen was very sparse - no way to cook food other than in the microwave. There is no staff there to answer questions or let you in if your code doesn't work (had to call the 24/7 help line). Make sure you know what you're getting yourself into before booking.
