Nice hostel, not as cosy as the one in Vik as it's a bit bigger, but well-equipped kitchen and nice comfortable rooms.

Located close to several places to eat. We did not arrive until 10 p.m., but they were available to let us in to our room. Very clean and friendly.

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.

The two kitchens are very small.It's absolutely insufficient comparing to the number of people who want to cook their evening meal.
