Not worth the exuberant price of $75 a night, but I guess that's just Iceland. Solo female traveler and felt safe in 16 person co-ed dorm. Private bathrooms were a big perk, and very clean. Room could have been ventilated better (a bit of a smell), but overall very clean. Location is a bit inconvenient if you're trying to explore town (~20 minute walk into downtown), but very convenient for airport bus transfers or tour transfers.

This hostel is bare bones and unfriendly. Uncomfortable rooms, no sheets, thin mattress, no towels. It really doesn’t get any cheaper - like sleeping in a prison cell.

Front desk was not very helpful. We have visited Iceland a few times over the years. When asked for directions for bus service. They provided information but that was it. They were more occupied with their conversations with one another than helping guests. We will not come back to this Hostel sadly. There are other hotels that were very friendly and helpful by far than what I experienced at this Bus hostel. Also when we checked into our room the sheets were not cleaned or the bedding comforter. There were hairs and dirt underneath the sheets!! I asked the fellow cleaning to provide clean linens. I’m sorry for the bad review but it is honest.

After flying all night, I arrived early at the property. They refused to check me in. I offered to pay for the extra night. They also refused. The Indian guy at the front desk said that they didn't have any beds ready and that I'd have to wait until 2 PM. Later I found out that the room I was in, had three open and clean beds from the day before. I complained to the manager, but not sure if he did anything about his front repectionists and their lies...I won't be staying there in the future, that's for damn sure.

Disorganized Space and Operations
Some travelers stay here longer term and have their things in the kitchens and rooms. The hostel doesn't ensure the kitchens and rooms remain organized, nor ensure that beds are marked for new travelers. There was a conflict in my room because staff gave someone new a person's bed who had been there.
