Amazing stay! The Student Hotel and Hostel is on the main road, and easy to catch buses throughout Reykjavik (tip: buy a city card -- included are museums which are fab for rainy days, and also the ferry to Videy (charming island) and buses during the length of your pass). Room was spotless and comfortable: super white bedding. Bathrooms were well maintained, as well as the communal kitchen and common area. Staff friendly and other travelers interesting.

A bit further away from the center but still walkable distance. The room was clean and included bathroom. Share massive kitchen and a great living room. Parking is free at the weekend.

This hostile was perfectly located in downtown Reykjavik. It is also right next to a bus stop. AND 3 minutes away from the BSI Bus Terminal where one rides FlyBus to and from airport. SUPER CLEAN! Highly recommend upgrading to private bathroom — way worth it!

I would have given a full five star because the building is beautiful. Rooms are beautiful. The staff is kind and helpful. Amenities are great! however, the shower drain really gave off a bad smell and the vent in the bathroom isn’t strong enough to remove the drain smell and it creeps out into the room so that was very unfortunate because everything else was fantastic. Location was fantastic staff was kind. Everything was top-notch but the drain smell was pretty bad. I hope the management can work on that.

We had a great stay here during our one night in Iceland, reception was very friendly and the rooms and common spaces were nice. Location was also convenient for walking around Reykjavik, would recommend.

Nice student vibe. 5 minute walk from the BSI bus station and 10 minute walk to the RKV airport. Rooms are basic but very functional. Every room cluster has a large kitchen with common sitting area with a television and access to outdoors. Property feels safe and is close to the University and Museum of Iceland. Ate at the student cafe: simple but good. Was able to store luggage until check in time. Pricing is probably the lowest you can find with Reykjavik being so expensive. Walking distance to a pretty park and downtown. Great place to stay for one or two night when traveling on the way to elsewhere in Iceland.

Friendly staff were very helpful. And social spaces, like the kitchen and the commons room, were excellent. However, the room was very rudimentary, with no amenities at all, and it smelled of bathroom odors, probably from sewage. If you do not expect too much, you will be satisfied with this hostel, especially considering the high prices of other alternatives. Still, it would be better if they provided customers with amenities and a clean room.

I always stay here before and after a long horse ride holiday. It's always the same and very affordable if you don't want to spend a ton of money on a room you will barely be in!

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.

Very clean and efficient. Great place and would stay again. Door looks worked well but it would be nice to be able to access the builiding through other doors than just the main door which requires a number of stairs.

Praises and accolades to the friendly, helpful staff at the student hostel. The facilities were excellent and the location ideal for walking into town. There was free parking in the adjacent lot, which made it a perfect base for the many day trips we took in Iceland. Highly recommended!
