Perfect for travelers on a budget!

What an absolute gem this location is on university grounds. For teachers or anyone on a budget this hostel is just perfect. We had a private room with two twins, private bathroom, and cozy beds! The views are gorgeous across the campus, calm and serene inside. There are kitchens and seating areas on every level! Special KUDO mention to the folks who work here that we interacted with! Angi, Adam, Iris, and the early crew that dealt with our jet lag fog. They were so kind when we asked, " Which bus to the city?" They pointed out the window. " Just a ten minute walk that way!" This location is perfect to the bus station, domestic terminal airport, and the museums. The cafe on campus is a short walk away. There is an awesome community pool (Vesturbæjarlaug) a short walk away which was terrific. We will be back to stay again for sure!

Relatively good option (if u r on tight budget)

This is a student dormitory, one of its blocks is renovated, the other one is pure basic, and if you r with your backpack and in need of sleepover, it is good enough. The renovated hostel block features elegantly designed rooms, but still - very little space, great kitchen and communal spaces though. Location is average -15 min to the centre, but some 20 min walk to proper bars, restaurants and nightlife. On the other hand, some beautiful Reykjavik ponds with plenty of birds r located just next to it and I enjoyed walking around them a lot. Some 20min walk to the bus station that takes you to the airport, the same distance to the main church of Rejkjavik. Communal spaces are quite cool and comfy, shared showers r not convenient for changing clothes, but clean.
Overall, I recommend it for short stayovers, but i ve stayed in better guest houses in Rejkjavik for almost the same money and more central - check some option closer to main harbour or the main church.

Average -nothing more, nothing less!

Fair enough room. Good bed but al lot of noise from the kitchen (peopme didn’t respect the sign that told that the kitchen was just for some of the rooms). Could have needed more staff that looked better after the kitchens, it was piled up with pans and plates at the countrr ehen guests did their dishes and then left them on the counter

Great place to stay

Great hostel. My wife and I stayed for a night - we got a double room and private bath. Fully modern with a large kitchen and common area. Would stay here again for sure. Parking was easy, and the campus is only a 10-15 minute walk from “Old Reykjavik.”

If you want a clean stay, look elsewhere

Terrible customer service, and if I could I would give less than 1 Star. Seemingly trying to help, but without results. After the sheets were not changed when checkin, we offered to change them ourselves. With hesitation we received sheets to change it ourselves. Then we noticed the bathroom was also dirty upon checkin. They "cleaned" it, only for us to find out when we came back later that day that dirt had been pushed under the shower curtain. Promised compensation for the inconveniences of complaining 3 (!) Times has not been made, emails that we were told to send were never answered, and to this day we are waiting for a statement why this has happened. If you want to stay somewhere that offers basic amenities and clean rooms, turn around and look elsewhere. Good customer service is foreign to this establishment.

Very good location
