Exactly what you would expect from a good hostel. Clean, with easy access, well equipped communal kitchen, free parking right up the street, walking distance from grocery store, restaurants, and the shore.

Good, Private

A less social hostel, the only time you’ll see other people is in the kitchen. The beds are thinner than other Hostels in Iceland (we stayed at Kex in Reykjavik as well), and the pillows were harder. The views though are really nice, the service is what you’d expect, and the kitchen is minimally but sufficiently stocked with cooking utensils.
