    Nice and clean hostel with a well equipped kitchen.
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Bed in 10-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The room was a bit small for 10 people. No space for your luggage, especially if you are sleeping on the top. City center is a bit far away (~15 minutes).

    Nice and clean hostel with a well equipped kitchen. Good choice if you want to find the cheapest option in Höfn. The room and the bathroom was very clean.

    Nice, clean and comfortable room, perfect for short stay!
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • Single Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The bed is a bit small for two people, but it's fine for a short stay (better for couples than friends). We could hear all the people walking above the room (it was below the hall). The city center is not that close (~15 minutes), but you could walk along the beach, which is very nice.

    Nice and clean room with a comfortable bed. Despite its small size, it was suitable for two people. The curtain fits very well on the windows, it can be almost completely darkened at night, which helps a lot in the summer. The bathroom was very close and was always very clean. The kitchen was well equipped, you could cook anything (toaster, oven, hob, kettle, dishes, plates, tools, etc.). I would gladly recommend it to anyone looking for the cheapest accommodation in Höfn.

    Everything was fine.

    Facilities are very good and new-ish. Super nice bathrooms, the best out of all the hostels we stayed in! We didn't use the kitchen and common areas, but it looked very nice and tidy. Good WIFI coverage and speed.

    The price

    Perfect hostel to spend your night! Plenty of space to cook, the kitchen is massive and even if it is crowded it can fit many people! The bathrooms were very spacious and clean like the rooms! Definitely recommend it even though the cost is quite high for a hostel

    One of the bunk bed mattresses was too soft for my liking so I didn’t get great sleep the first night. However I ended up switching with my friend for the queen bed and it was much better.

    The 4 bed room was spacious and clean. The bathrooms were very nice and large. The kitchen was also great for cooking since it had many stoves and cooking tools. The staff was extremely nice and inviting! Great location too.

    Quiet location & comfortable, warm rooms.

    Now, take this with a grain of salt as my partner & I are a middle-aged couple travelling on a budget; but we found the rooms a little small when trying to open & store our luggage. That said....it's a hostel, not a hotel, & the room as warm, quiet, & comfortable. We didn't mind sharing bathrooms although we got in early for showers to avoid the rush as there were only a couple of them on our floor.

    A clean, nice hostel, we only stayed one night. It's in a quiet location, although maybe a bit of a walk to any bars/restaurants....but a short drive. The beds were comfy & the kitchen facilities were fantastic.

    Shared bathrooms have both toilet and shower in one cubicle, so you may need to wait for a free one.

    Lovely new hostel. Comfortable beds and quiet rooms. Well appointed kitchen. Wish we had the time to stay longer!

    Huge hostel, very good value for money. Bathrooms/ showers are spacious and clean. Kitchen has many cooking opportunities, plenty of clean towels and even a dishwasher! Also the girl at the reception was super friendly and upgrades us to a triple room so we could have a double bed 🥰. Laundry and Dryer costs 2500 isk - one of the cheapest options we‘ve encountered on our 3 week trip around Iceland.

    Hard to fault.

    Looks like it was recently refurbished. I had a private room, which was very comfortable with it's own sink. There are multiple bathrooms all of which were spotless clean and modern. There is a large well equipped kitchen and dining area. Everywhere spotless clean. Staff friendly and helpful but miss the no shoes sign at your peril 😄 Good value (for Iceland). Also there is a washing machine and dryer but a little expensive at £14 UK pounds to wash my socks. .
