Hostel B47 is ideally positioned centrally near to the main shopping area and not far from bus station. Also it is only a five minute walk from the Halgrims church which has a very high tower. Easy to find your way back to the Hostel as the tower makes a good marker.

The young man with glasses that worked the front desk was great. He was considerate, kind, and willing to help anyway he could. When i take my Mom to Iceland, we will be staying here.

Great hostel in Reykjavik
Very nice hostel with friendly staff and lots of shared spaces. Very clean, but hot water smelled weird (due to use of geothermal water heating). Other than that, a very nice experience.

사실 숙박한 호스텔중에서 b47이 가장 최고입니다 ! 왜냐하면 직원들이 친절하고 시설하도 깨끗하고 가격도 적절합니다 ! 게다가 b47 위치가 아주 좋기 때문입니다 . 아이슬란드에 방문하면 꼭 b47에 숙박해 보세요 ! 진실 - 미국인 로버트 B47 is the best hostel I have stayed at! The staff is friendly , the facilities are very clean and the prices are affordable. If you visit Iceland then B47 is definitely the place to stay ! Sincerely , Robert (USA)

I stayed in a shared female dorm, I felt very safe and the other occupants were very quiet and considerate. The room could have been cleaner but it wasn't too bad. The shared bathroom was clean. Buying food out in Reykjavík is very expensive so having the communal kitchen and dining area was very handy. I'd stay here again, it's good value and very close to the centre of town. Thank you 😊

All of the staff were very kind and friendly and super helpful whenever I had questions about anything. The shared bunk room I was in filled up by the third night but everyone was as quiet and respectful as you could reasonably expect. The location is great and very convenient for walking or taking a scooter anywhere downtown, and the free parking in back is crucial. I hope to return!
