Student Hotel & Hostel

Decent sized room and large bathroom; very well-stocked kitchen with stoves, large refrigerator/freezer, pots & pans, etc. Comfortable common areas. Good value.

The shower drain was clogged and our first shower flooded the bathroom and part of the apartment. the shower curtain did not reach the floor. No bathmat. The kitchen towels became dirty and were not replaced. The machines in the laundry room were mostly filled with sheets that the staff had left there.

I've visited Iceland from Australia four times in the last four years (2023, 2024, 2025, 2026) and for various reasons, I've ended up in a different place each time so this location was again new to me. All of them have been very good and this was no exception, I was very happy with staying here and absolutely would do so again. The location is very convenient and I found it well within walking from the BSI bus terminal, just on the other side of the park and practically almost within sight. This was extremely good to make it quickly to the bus terminal to get back to the airport but also during my stay to get the bus to the hot springs at Sky Lagoon. The actual rooms and facilities were very warm, neat and comfortable. Each room had two beds. The accommodation is part of or at least adjacent to university housing. Extra thanks to all the staff at the front desk who were all very helpful including when I couldn't get through to Greenland on any of my phones to discuss the next step of my trip by making the call for me on one of their phones so I could talk to the people I was planning to head to next (The Inuit Cafe next door to Hotel Nuka where I was staying next). To summarise, I had a really good stay here, very close to everywhere I wanted to go in Reykjavik and I would absolutely recommend to everyone whose requires were similar to mine.

I have no complaints. The place was perfect for what I need to stay in Reykjavik and would definitely hope to stay here again. I would have liked the nearest cinema (Kringlan - Sambíóin Kringlunni) to have been a bit closer but that's obviously completely out of their control! (It was also a very nice walk but close to 3km each way.)

No breakfast. Adjacent to bus stop.

Gefallen hat mir die sehr zentrale Lage, man kann fußläufig alles gut erreichen. Die Küchen sind sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Das Personal ist meist freundlich.

Mein Zimmer war sauber und klein mit eigenem Bad und Toilette, das war mir wichtig. Ich hatte kein Nachttischchen o.ä. als Ablage. Leider war das Räumchen sehr dunkel und… obwohl ich mehrfach darauf hingewiesen habe…, kamen sowie ich das kleine Fensterchen öffnen wollte, Horden von Stechmücken herein. Das lag natürlich daran, dass das Räumchen im Keller lag. Zudem ließ sich das Schiebefenster nur sehr schwer öffnen und schließen. Eine Lösung konnte trotz mehrerer Versuche nicht gefunden werden, obwohl ich eine ganze Woche gebucht hatte.
