It would be nice, if each room get a cleaning set. It is not always clean, if 6 person come in and go out each day.

Nice place to stay, :) And though the locationis little bit far from the city center, in Reykjavik, you don't have many things to do in the city center. There are numerous activities waiting for you, and all the activities offer you pick-up service right in front of the door. So if you like nature and park, your choice should be the Reykjavik City Hostel. :)

We stayed five night and have seen no cleaning. The bin was not emptied. Notification of "linen not included in the room rent" should be made at an obvious place before payment confirmation. It's quite a shock for us to know that at 1 am upon our arrival. The fee was subsequently waived but a clear notice will save any misunderstanding. The where to go advice is fantastic though we have a different taste bud.

really good! I loved everything of this hostel. Maybe the only thing I'd like to see in there is a place where to put shoes before entering in the dorm areas, like in every other icelandic hostel. Despite this, the cleanliness was good.

The number of children in the hostel made it hard to relax without having to sit in your room.
