Good location in Reykjavik

Hostel is conveniently located. Bathrooms were clean. Will point out that the kitchen was a bit messy and didn't see any staff. Make sure to bring shampoo. That is not provided. Overall would recommend

Hostel B47 was a great place to stay. It was easy walking distance to the Main Street and the kitchen facilities are fantastic! We got woken up each night by other residents who forgot the code and got locked out but this isn’t the hostel’s fault.

Fine stay

I stayed for 2 nights with tween age kids. The room was clean and it was nice getting a towel. Great to have sink in the room. The kitchen had a fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle. We got the codes for doors to let ourselves in via email. Saw staff cleaning but had no interaction with any staff. The location was walkable to bus etc. We needed a place to store bags for a few hours on last day. The storage lockers outside were convenient, if expensive for just a few hours. I'm not sure what I would have done if they were all full though.

Overall good but no free luggage storage service

Good location, self check in / check out system is good but there’s not luggage room for the guests to leave their luggage before check in time. I have to pay the luggage locker (just outside the hostel) instead, wasn’t happy about it.

Vera

Booked a room in a dorm just to find out that there was a glitch in the system and my bunk bed was taken. Not a great experience especially after a long flight and arriving past midnight. So no, I would not recommend this place.

I stayed in one bedroom not shared. Its clean, quiet and I like that I can lock the door when I use the bathroom. Its 3 blocks away from the church and walkable to Reykjavik downtown. Also, another reason i stayed in this hostel is that they have free parking. I would definitely stay again if given a chance i come back to Reykjavik area. Highly recommended. :D Thank you for an awesome stay that made my first trip to Iceland a memorable one. See again next time.

Della

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
No reception staff. Three people approached me needing help to find their rooms. They had no emails after 1500 with the necessary info needed with room number and codes. Poor mattresses. Anytime anyone moved in bed the springs squeezed. I stayed in room 100 and around 0030 you could hear loud pounding upstairs and constant moving of what sounded like heavy chairs/furniture. The hall smells of faint sewer all the tome. Price was ok but won’t be back. Only convenience is great location.

Great place to stay

Great place to stay at downtown Reykjavik, very convenient to walk around city. free parking , easy to find food , close to church. clean hotel, with great interior and picture. clean bath, towel, comfort bed & pillow . I cant give 5star for service, because no staff at property. They give me code for entry before check in time 3pm. VERY RECOMENDED.
