Pros: The rooms and bathrooms are clean and the layout is organized. But the best part of this place is the staff. I never met any staff member, at any time, be anything less than friendly, courteous, and helpful. At 2 am in the kitchen, staff was more than willing to clean up after me so that I could get to sleep. Front desk made detailed recommendations, and had information about times, availability, and transportation memorized. Beata at the front desk was especially helpful checking out, making sure I could get access to the kitchen on my last day, and being very friendly. This was a great place to stay!

Pros: The location and the staff are the best features of this hostel. Lots of information on tours and activities. The atmosphere was great, it's a small but cozy place.
Cons: The top bunk beds were not safe. I almost fell down twice. Luckily they let me change beds. The toilet needed to be scrubbed a bit more. The room was a bit noisy and the kitchen was in a separate building - we had to go outside in order to go to the kitchen.
7.5 Good
Pros: All round good
Cons: The poor shower
8.0 Excellent
Pros: Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The price was right!
Breakfast was very satisfying.
The staff were very pleasant.
Cons: With 10 beds and a check out time of 10:00 AM I had a problem
getting into the toilet. I suggest that there be an alternative access to use another toilet if someone is showering and dressing in a locked bathroom!
A suggestion: Please inform new hostlers how to turn the light switch off. I came in from the airport and went into room at 2:00 AM. Put the
light on but could not shut it. At some point a 'sleeper' go up and showed me to press it twice!

The communal kitchen was great (minus the lack of freezer - what are you supposed to do with ice cream?) along with the access to a locker room and laundry. Great access to town and a helpful, friendly staff that remembers you.
Cons: It was IMPOSSIBLE to sleep both nights, especially when we moved to the first floor - it was only until midnight - 6am that the sound of multiple doors slamming subsided. The sound wasn't subtle - it literally sounded like the doors were slamming nonstop for hours. There has to be some way to change the closing mechanisms!! I had earplugs in and still could hear every single open and close. We slept horribly as a result.
Also, the showers were the only ones in all of Iceland that were not hot - lukewarm at best. That was definitely a disappointment.

Pros: Location is good. Hostel is clean
Cons: There is a bathroom for 8 people and when somebody is taking shower you have to wait and no other choice cause public bath is out of order. Locker of bathroom is broken means maybe somebody open the door and look at your eyes while you are taking shower or using the toilet. There are some safety box but all with broken lockers so you can’t use it. The owner can fix all this problems with not much money but look likes he doesn’t care.

Pros: Bus hostel is exactly a hostel at the bus stop. All tours arrive and leave from there. For me, as a solo traveler, it was the easiest place to stay. I loved the staff, all very kind. The accommodations also very clean and easy to access. Lots of people were talking about the kitchen on lasts review. The staff clean it everyday but the problem is with the guests and not with the hostel. People use the place and leave the dishes and table without clean it. The bus hostel is located very close to the city center.

8.0 Excellent
Pros: Good value for the money and facilities. Clean. Friendly staff.
Cons: No sockets or individual lights on the beds. We had to turn on the light of all the room to come in or out, waking other up. Also, no sockets available on the beds, so staying on the upper beds was really terrible!

Pros: The lobby/lounge area was quite nice! I didn't get to take advantage of it but I did like the setup with the tables and the option to get a drink.
Cons: The showers could be better - between the nozzles either not staying in the holder and one shower not getting hot enough (lukewarm mostly) I wasn't impressed. But, at least they worked.

Cons: The location wasn’t amazing, it’s about 20 minutes walk from the center. However, there are some shops and cafes nearby and tour companies pick up from this hostel. A taxi to the area with bars was about 2000kr each way.

Pros: Aron and his family made my stay wonderful-- they were so friendly and accommodating, and just so pleasant to be around! The location is PERFECT-- right in the middle of one of the coolest parts of Reykjavik. Everything was clean and well-kept. There were multiple bathrooms available to guests, which was awesome, and they kept the kitchen area functional and clean.

6.3 Good
Pros: This is a place to spend one night on a budget. It's fairly close to downtown/Hlemmur.
Cons: This place looks and feels old and neglected. I understand that for Iceland it's cheap, but this should mean no amenities, shared bathroom, etc. I also understand that you don't get fresh towel every day and that's OK. What I don't get are leaking showers, squeaking doors, dirty and torn sheets. This doesn't require nor extra money or a lot of time. I am fine with place like this not having 24h front desk (would be surprised if it did). I would have also really used a clear message before arrival that there are actually two separate houses of Reykjavik Hostel Village. Tired in the evening i wouldn't had to call every available number to find out that my room is not in the same house as front desk.
