I stayed in the mixed dorm as a solo female- no problems at all. The whole check-in process is no contact. Make sure to bring your own towel since the hours are limited to rent one,… the office is closed on the weekends and only open from 9-4 M-F. This was a great location to get picked up for tours. Would absolutely stay there again.

4/10 Poor

Staff were helpful in communication pre-visit. However, the limited staffed hours of 9am-4pm (Mon to Fri only) at the Hostel did not work for me as there was no opportunity to discuss issues given that tours required an early start and late arrival back to the hostel, and my arrival to Reykjavik and departure from Reykjavik fell outside staffed hours. The major disappointments were that I was allocated a mixed dorm when I had booked a female dorm, and the mattress was the most uncomfortable I have ever encountered. The metal springs were prominent by just running a hand across the surface. And, I had booked the Bus Hostel based on the understanding that tours/airport transfers departed from this terminal, only to discover that they had shifted to another location.

Amazing hostel, so happy I chose it. The receptionists are amazing, friendly and informative. The rooms, bathrooms, lounge and outside areas are all super clean, welcoming and comfortable.. the activities are a lot and they pick you up from right in front of the hostel. And the downtown is just a 20 mins walk … totally recommend!

Rooms and bathrooms were very clean, staff were very nice and easy to check in and out. Would have liked a water fountain but that’s the only thing I could find that wasn’t positive about the place. I do recommend having a car if you are here as it’s 10 min away from center drive and far walk

Bus Hostel is what it is... convenient location to airport transportation and downtown Reykjavik, relatively affordable (for Iceland), clean, and friendly staff. But the shared bathrooms need more hooks to hang clothes!
