This is student dorms that are available for guests to use in the summer. Nice, clean, quiet and well located by the ponds and within easy walking of Harpa/Old harbor. Bus stop locate within 1 minute walk of front door of the hostel. For those who might have an interest in such things, there is a beautiful old cemetery out past the dorms. If available, I'd stay at the student hostel next time I'm in Reykjavik. Front desk folks were very helpful and friendly. ![view of the student hostel building](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1e7bc2e4-6811-4311-ae0a-71c160e7e378-1753388779846.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Cemetery about a 2 blocks beyond the hostel.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7377509f-e2d8-4109-bb43-fa435931b6e3-1753388799096.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### JOHN Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica 14 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beds were comfy, kitchen and hallways were very nice.

The shower flooded the bathroom with no mat and we only had 1 towel each, so we weren't able to dry the floor, but other than that we would definitely stay again. ##### Erica Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### A M 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice find. Really nice student hostel within walking distance of central Reykjavik. Clean, warm, comfortable. One niggle - I could have benefitted from two pillows but this is a small thing and didn’t detract from the overall experience. I’d definitely stay here again. One piece of advice. It’s not obvious from the map where the hostel is. I walked right past it and saw other people do the same. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/57b260a9-e897-4328-bdbc-874b6cfcfb9a-1754327408535.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### A M Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pimchanok 28 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Safe, quiet and a walking distance from BSI terminal.
