Customer Reviews Seyðisfjörður

| The reception is located at their building in town, but there was no indication of this at the tourist information so I hiked to the building about a kilometer outside of town. The staff gave me a ride back, which was very nice.
The hostel has the smallest pillows I have ever seen, and the shower on the first floor has no heat, but the second floor shower is quite comfortable. My room was on the first floor. | ||

| This is a nice little hostel in a town that really does not have much to do. I stayed in the newer building closer to town that is also where reception is (which should really be changed on the internet) which has nice common areas and is clean. Does get very busy during summer especially around Ferry departures | ||

| We got in really late at night and the guy working the desk stayed up and waited for us which was super nice of him. The kitchen and communal area were well maintained and had a great view of the fjord. | ||

| We loved the hostel, it was the best we stayed in because of its character and atmosphere, you could feel a bit vunerable in the showers. | ||

| One of the best hostels in Iceland we stayed in. Our worst experience was Hofn, am going on Trip Advisor when I get a moment to deter others from that location. Overall, we stayed in several HI hostels and found them to be amazing places. | ||
