So this was a fantastic property. It was centrally located to just about everything in Reykjavík. It was more than a hostel, and the private rooms were well worth the price. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip.

This place was exactly what we needed. We stayed for about five nights, spending most of our time on road trips and visiting lagoons, so we didn’t need anything overly luxurious for our home base. Despite having shared showers and bathrooms, everything was consistently very clean. Interestingly, I never saw a staff member during our stay, yet the property was clearly well maintained. The showers were always available when we needed them, with no waiting. The location was also a big plus—many key parts of Reykjavík were just a short walk from the front door. I’d definitely stay here again. 10/10. Also, a lot of close by parking that you can finagle overnight with good timing :) Thanks for having us!! Hope to come back soon!!

The room was clean, albeit a bit small. The walls are practically paper thin so bring a pair of noise cancelling headphones. Despite the noise, it is a perfectly nice place to stay and relatively inexpensive, as well as being in a great location. If you are on a budget, then it is worth staying here.

Now called Old Town and not Kastali, I found the hostel to be in a great location, quiet despite the being well occupied, the rooms fine, and the bathrooms kept clean the entire time I was there. Pretty nice, actually.

Great place to stay in Reykjavik if you’re traveling on a budget. Basic room, but if you’re only there to sleep like I was, it’s enough. Shared bathroom but very spacious and clean. Excellent location in the old town, the main things to do/see are in a 15 minute walk radius.

I stayed a few nights in this place, close to everything, Bus stop 1 is on the back of the hotel, centric, quiet area, restaurants not too far, the only bad thing is the room that is small and if you stay single room you have to take your luggage to last floor

We enjoyed our stay, our room was clean, and it was in a great spot to explore the city. There is no parking, so we paid for parking on the street.
