Like the cleanliness, comfort of facilities and room, simple but efficient. Walkable to anywhere in the city but situated in a quiet area with in hotel parking. Very pleasant stayed.
Jessica, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay for one night
The decor is garish and the rooms have the same vibe as a hospital room. We stayed in a twin room with shared bathroom. It was okay because we only arrived around 10pm and left at 8:30am, and we went out for over an hour looking for the northern lights. I would not stay any longer to be honest. The sheets used on the bed and pillow are a harsh texture which is a bit uncomfortable. There was a strange graffiti style wall art of naked women on the wall. There were two toilet cubicles in the shared bathroom, plus a toilet/shower combo. Think one toilet was out of service. Toilets were relatively clean. Definitely bring flip flops/sliders/etc if you’re staying here. There is a small free car park, which is something we were looking for in a booking. You are sent an access code about an hour before check-in opens. You use one code to enter the hostel from outside and one to enter your room. I did not see a single staff member anywhere.
Twin room with shared bathroom. There is a sink in the room.

10/10 Exceptional

Hostel B47 is ideally positioned centrally near to the main shopping area and not far from bus station. Also it is only a five minute walk from the Halgrims church which has a very high tower. Easy to find your way back to the Hostel as the tower makes a good marker.

Ben, 4-night trip

Easy late checkin
Amazing communication our flight was cancelled and we got a later flight so our checkin was after midnight, they provided all the codes to get in

The young man with glasses that worked the front desk was great. He was considerate, kind, and willing to help anyway he could. When i take my Mom to Iceland, we will be staying here.
Jaime, 7-night trip

Great hostel in Reykjavik
Very nice hostel with friendly staff and lots of shared spaces. Very clean, but hot water smelled weird (due to use of geothermal water heating). Other than that, a very nice experience.
Dylan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place. The staff was helpful, friendly and they had safes allowing to sleep peacefully. I just wish they had more common areas.
