Very beautiful hostel in the fjörd of Seyðisfjörður. Big kitchen, and wonderful view from the living room. The place is great for taking the ferry, or sleeping there when coming out the ferry. There are also many hiking opportunities in the neighborhood.

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.

Excellent hostel: one of the best I have ever stayed in. Clean and efficient. No frills, but comfortable. Staff was very friendly.

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.
