Someone checked in really late (just after midnight), blaring music and talking loudly and waking everyone up, but that was likely an isolated incident. ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kayla 1 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff here made my stay really lovely from early check in to a smooth check out.

The hostel was very clean and I loved the decorations. We were able to walk all around the city with no issues, even parked our van out front. The only negatives were how small the private dorms were, for 2 people plus our luggage we were very squished. The bathroom was beautiful but not very functional, the open shower sprayed water everywhere. The vanity had little room to store your toiletries. We made do since it was a short stay but it could be claustrophobic for a lot of people. The staff were all great! We would definitely return! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/94f9fd5a-44f9-4dec-a2aa-bb61e11e1fe2-1759079544614.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ally Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mariah 17 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great staff very nice ##### Mariah Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Peri 22 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Private room with shower was perfect. To be able to access the kitchen through our stay made it even better! Kitchen when used was clean and the free shelf was amazing! Check it out before going to the shop! Building work going on next door but wasn’t in enough to hear it. Black out curtains work but can’t see the northern lights from your rooms because the building works next door has a spotlight that floods your room with light at night time even with your own lights off. Can’t fault the private room we had although it could do with more storage. 4 hooks isn’t enough for a week stay. Great designed hotel. Quirky and fun and felt safe and wasn’t noisy even with a group of school kids we didn’t hear a sound on the private floor. ![View from bedroom window from 1st floor ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e401b476-d8c2-40f6-ac77-bf60c837c8e2-1761127719919.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/91fba9d1-836b-4ad2-874f-a5fb057f9205-1761127720498.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d2d7d016-5cd6-4c35-bcdf-f0fdaff649be-1761127720056.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Spot light that floods your room but the walk way is in front so can cross over easily and watch the northern lights.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b3ae80c1-8813-41a1-b935-a76ce0d21a29-1761127720580.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Peri Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Ísland - Spa & Wellness Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Island-Spa-Wellness-Hotel.h524487.Hotel-Information) > > [Miðgarður by Center Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Migarur-By-Center-Hotels.h9853419.Hotel-Information) > > [Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Icelandair-Hotel-Reykjavik-Marina.h4828813.Hotel-Information) > > [Alva Hotel Brautarholt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-22-Hill-Hotel.h9438511.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Klettur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Klettur.h4445246.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Lahore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lahore-Hotels.d2068.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [ODDSSON Midtown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Oddsson.h34036596.Hotel-Information) > > [Fosshotel Reykjavik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Fosshotel-Reykjavik.h9031743.Hotel-Information) > > [Sif Apartments by Heimaleiga](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Sif-Apartments.h36869619.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near San Siro Stadium](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Siro-Stadium-Hotels.0-l553248635947667669-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Storm Hotel by Keahotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Storm-Hotel-By-Keahotels.h10207049.Hotel-Information) > > [Stay Apartments Einholt](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Stay-Apartments-Einholt.h2041560.Hotel-Information) > > [Fosshotel Raudara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Fosshotel-Raudara.h526527.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Reykjavik Nordica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hilton-Reykjavik-Nordica.h13477.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Cabin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Cabin.h1542421.Hotel-Information) > > [Fosshotel Lind](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Fosshotel-Lind.h794079.Hotel-Information) > > [Reykjavik Lights by Keahotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Reykjavik-Lights-By-Keahotels.h6119481.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d2205-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Grandi by Center Hotels](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Grandi-By-Center-Hotels.h45668818.Hotel-Information) > > [Reykjavik Domes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Reykjavik-Domes.h36067854.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Reykjavík Grand](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Reykjavik.h45483.Hotel-Information) > > [Downtown Reykjavík Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Downtown-Reykjavik-Apartments.h23412660.Hotel-Information) > > [Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Las-Vegas-Hilton-At-Resorts-World.h60884491.Hotel-Information) > > [Hótel Múli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Hotel-Muli.h14923586.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Activities ### General
