Borgarnes HI Hostel

Stayed a night on the way to the west of Iceland. Monica at reception was welcoming and provided tips on what to do, where to eat,etc. Complementary tea, and coffee all day. The communal kitchen is well equipped and a pleasure to use. Good wifi. Comfortable rooms (but no lockers), good temperature&mattresses. Clean all over. I didn't have the opportunity to try the breakfast but it seemed nice, using only local farming produce. Water smells a bit sulphuric but this is probably an Icelandic thing.

The hostel at Borganes was, by far, the nicest hostel we stayed in in Iceland. Sparkling clean, super comfy pillows & duvets, free coffee and tea, very nice lounge area, free wifi. Monica, who was on front desk duty in the afternoon and evening, was exceptionally friendly and helpful. She went out of her several times to help this frazzled traveler - we shared many laughs as I bumbled through last-minute airline headaches. Borgarnes Hostel earned this glowing recommendation 110%.

The youth hostel was great. What I appreciated the most was the comfortable beds, the quiet and the cleanliness. The kitchen we used was very clean and well equipped and our room was spacious. Youth hostels have come a very long way since I was a regular guest in the 1990s.
