frank, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very close and walkable to downtown shopping and food options as well as a lovely park. Having the university right there felt very safe, let alone a good chance for us to see some really neat architecture. The inside of the accommodation and the amenities were so beautiful and cozy.

10/10 Exceptional

So happy that we chose to stay at the student hostel. I highly recommend this place. Clean and comfortable rooms. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Loved the separate common area for hanging out in. Super convenient to downtown and the bus terminal. They even have large storage lockers for rent. I would definitely stay at the student hostel, again.

Stayed in the newer area in a 2 bed with bathroom unit. Wonderful, modern facilities and fully equipped kitchen. Student pub was fun. Shared room with my adult daughter. Short walk to downtown.
Marilee, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was very spacious and there was a large fully equipped shared kitchen and bathroom. The students working the reception desk were all very kind and helpful. It’s a 15 minute walk to the BSÍ Bus Terminal and 10 minute walk to downtown Reykjavik. I highly recommend this accommodation.
Lori, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Go there!
We spent there 5 nights with a shared bathroom. However, it did not matter as everything was extremely clean and user-friendly. Hostels all over the should be as clean as this one. I RECOMMEND GOING THERE!
Michal, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had an excellent stay at Student Hostel. It was an easy walk to the downtown area which offers so much to see and do. The bus stop is right outside the hostel if you’d like to explore a little further. The beds were very comfortable which left us well rested for our next day’s adventures.
Howard, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place in a nice area, close to city center. Hugh parking areas.
Audun, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Very simple room with shared bathroom, dated but clean. Expensive for what it offers, like most accommodation in Reykjavik. Checkin/checkout was efficient but the least friendly I experienced in Iceland. It was fine for me for 1 night and I did discover a fantastic bakery for breakfast a couple of blocks west of the university, near a swimming pool.
Corine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is on the uni property and close to BSI for easy access to bus system. Lots to do nearby without being in the tourist area. Quiet and relaxing. Easy walk into town center.
Susanna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very well-maintained no-frills hostel. Safe area with easy parking. The staff were accommodating. Onsite laundry and kitchen area.
Jerry Wayne Eidson, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very friendly and helpful staff. The young woman at the counter was super helpful with local information. The kitchen and bathrooms were clean and well-apportioned, and the community room is a great spot for hanging out.
