It's a very small room, but Iceland is expensive and this is a great deal for the price. The bathroom on our floor was clean and provided shampoo and soap. It's a 10-minute walk from old town city central, which is fabulous. Extremely safe area. The front desk staff were kind, friendly, and super helpful. There is a laundry room in the building (they give you free laundry detergent and let you use the machines for free -- literally, I'm not kidding), and they have lockers you can rent for very cheap to hold your valuables. Parking is free and close by (it's part of a university campus, and the overflow lot is a 3-minute walk). Overall, a very terrific and affordable option.

A walking path to the foot bridge to cross over to the other side where there is a subway/gas station. A cross walk to the park and past it to the church. We had a private bathroom room. Clean. They let us borrow an USB outlet plug since we did not have europlugs chargers. They provide a city map, called a cab for us, nice laundry room, and answered our questions the best they could. I recommend the Student Hostel. Thank you

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.

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!

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.

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.
