Daniel Brook

20 November 2007 Daniel would recommend this property

Liked: Maybe it's because we were there in November and it wasn't too busy, infact we were pretty much the only people is the place!! But dont let this put you off. This is a great guesthouse with very friendly and kind staff - the owner even took us on a free guided tour of the city before we checked in!! The facilities are only basic, as are the rooms, but to be honest Reykjavik, and Iceland, has so much to see and do you won't spend that much time in your hestel anyway!! Overall a very safe hostel with a good location (directly opposite where the buses come in from Keflavik) and definatley worth a visit!!

20 September 2007 Melissa would recommend this property

Liked: The woman who owned the hostel was so nice and she was really helpful and concerned that we were having a good time. The facilities were clean and the hostel was close to the downtown area. I loved that we had wireless internet that was reliable and free. It was very quiet, so those looking for a young party hostel would be disappointed, but there is enough partying in Reykjavik. We really liked the hostel.

Disliked: Melissa left no negative feedback.
