We stayed one night with four adults in a room with a private bathroom. Bathroom and shower were very nice. The room was a bit tight with luggage but we were able to make it work. The kitchen facilities were good with lots of seating for eating a meal. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Probably the best hostel our group stayed at during our trip to Iceland. Everything is very neat, there are plenty of shared restrooms and showers, which are also very clean. The shared kitchen is awesome, with everything you could possibly need. The lady running the hostel was also so kind and helpful and there even exists a drying room in the basement which we took full advantage after arriving here after a particularly rainy day. The only slight negative is the high price of the laundry which ran almost 20 USD for a single load of washer/dryer but other than that this place is awesome.

We stumbled on this place when we booked our trip to Iceland last minute. It was fine accommodations. We would stay in Hofn again, but would prefer to stay in a hotel next time. That being said, this was a great option for us. This is one of the nicest hostels we have stayed in, but it was also very expensive as far as hostels go.

I can only give an average rating for this accommodation. The room was relatively small and the space felt quite tight. It’s suitable for a short stay or as a temporary stopover, but may not be ideal for longer visits.

We had a great time and fully enjoyed the HUGE kitchen assortment of pots and pans and utensils. The bathrooms are shiny new and impeccable conditions. We stayed in a basement room with 6 beds and the air got a bit stuffy by the morning, but we kept the window a bit open to freshen up. We enjoyed the free mini golf on the water nearby, the public pool and the few restaurants in town to try langoustine. We definitely recommend it.

Clean and modern property. Great kitchen setup! Bathrooms are extremely clean (if used first in the morning…can’t speak for other guests). Sometimes the door locks (electric) will make a short buzzing noise, doors from kitchen can be heard at night. (Bring earplugs) Overall great place to stay, highly recommend.
