Clare

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was great. Good communication for after-hours check in. Difficult to find the entry when I got there, though, as there was no on-site signage, and the instructions were just to find the “correct” entrance as there are two hostels in the building. Place was clean and the bed was good. No big lockers for bags which was tough. Also very noisy and noise travelled through the hallways and into the rooms.

This hostel was great overall. Very clean. Convenient location. Great view of the church from the common room/kitchen. The only two negatives are that there is no staff at the office in the morning to talk to if you wanted to see if you could have an early checkin if the room is ready. The other is that it is slightly noisy. You can hear groups going in and out when they are in the hallway. But I would return again!

Perfecto. Ni mas ni menos de lo ofrecido. Justo valor por el dinero. Lo recomiendo teniendo en cuenta que Islandia es el país mas grotescamente caro del planeta, sin sentido los precios de todo.

Designated parking area for the hostel. Very walkable to the downtown area. They made sure I had all the information I needed to check-in during their off hours so I wouldn't be locked out. Wonderful place to stay.

Excellent hostel! Really convenient location in Reykjavik. Super close from Hallgrimskirkja (church). The room was clean and spacious. Every person had plenty of outlet, which was great for us with multiple devices that need nightly charging. The room got a lot of evening sun (June), so we needed to keep the window open to stay cool throughout the night. The shower rooms were conveniently located, and were available pretty much anytime we needed to use them. The kitchen had a fairly spacious dining area, but there's only one sink, so we needed to wait for our turn to do the dishes. Three fridges to keep our food refrigerated, but they were always pretty full (we found just enough space to put our food in). The code to enter the building was sent in a timely manner, so the check-in went very smoothly. Other guests were considerate, and we didn't have any issues with noises at night. (We stayed for 2 nights.)

Nice city stay

The location is great, beds were comfy and it was very clean. There is another hostel in the same building so make sure you find the right door for Baron's.

Location is excellent thats why i stayed there for the 2nd time. But this time my experince was terrible. Lot of people..bathrooms were nasty, not really clean, rarely will find any stuff member. If you reprot to any issue they dont care. My phone charger and some small items went missing as housekeeping took them. I had a buy all these items which cost me extra money and nothing is cheap in Iceland.

Baron’s hostel was amazing for the most part. The only issues I had with it was the elevator is the only access point but at one point the elevator broke/ needed maintenance so accessing the building was difficult. The other thing was the smell was a little disturbing but overall it was a great place and easy to walk around and have as a living access point in Iceland!

Considering Baron’s is a hostel, my teen and I felt safe and comfortable during our 2 night stay. The hostel was clean and offered us everything we needed. The location is fantastic. Parking is free. We went to the affordable pool / hot tubs next door and loved them.
