Customer Reviews Siglufjörður
| 26 May 2013 James, Canada | 67% | |
| No one there on my arrival at 5:00 PM. Note said to call manager from any local store. Hadto have a gas station call to get entry. Manager was very cold and did not offer any assistance. Quick to take my money and then lefft immediately. I could not find internet password. another guest called for help and another person came to the hostel and got slip of paper with codes then again left. The codes would not work. Frustrated as i needed internet access for family business. Facilities were acceptable by hostel standards. The drive to and from is awesome. Hostel response: | ||
