| Conveniently located, but road is right next to the private room. The road was quite loud until the traffic died down in the night.
The host was quite helpful and went beyond his job to help us with a phone call in icelandic. | ||

| right on the main road with a ground floor room, did not give much privacy unless you had the blind fully down and made the room dark. Building layout was not right for a hostel, the self catering kitchens did not have much seating. Hostel response: | ||
