Staff were friendly and facilities sufficient. Very eclectic atmosphere and could do we a facelift in my opinion. Room and bathroom were clean but small. Felt that it was very expensive for what it was and there were additional charges for everything. Even a cup of coffee is chargeable.

Very cool place! The interior is very spacious with multiple sections, including 2 kitchens. Lots of places to sit and lounge, or play or socialize or be productive. The host that night was a very pleasant gentleman who injected some extra character into the space. The main lounging and bar area is very cool and it looks like they have events there regularly, but unfortunately not while we were there (1 night). 2 of us stayed in a triple room (ended up being cheaper than another option) and it was great with good accessible outlets, good blackout curtains, a sink in the room, and keypad entry. Breakfast was included and yummy. Very interesting area in the peninsula as well -- I would absolutely come back to stay here.

Fantastic place for the money! Quick checkin, well equipped kitchen had free food left behind by previous travelers, and comfy rooms. I lucked out and was present for an Àsgeir (one of Icelands top Pop Artists) concert in the main room from 9-11pm. My only complaint was that staff kept music going until 2am, for whatever reason. At least they have earplugs at the front desk?

Very good location just off of the highway. We were taken aback a bit by the outside appearance but once inside, found it to be inviting and our room with a private bath was great. We enjoyed the artwork on our wall and found the gentleman checking us in to be very helpful and friendly. While this property was outside of the type of properties we stay at, we enjoyed out stay and would definitely stay again.

this place is pretty far from restaurants but our main priority was to have a safe place to sleep for 1 night before we continued on our journey and it was perfect for that. they have a great common lounge that looked stocked with games, but we were so tired from hiking and driving all day that we didnt get to use this. there are lots of great and funky art pieces on the property and paints on the walls. thank you for a great stay!

Staying at the Freezer Hostel was unique. It had delightful art and provided an opportunity to meet people. We reserved a family room for 4 people and the double bed was really small for two adults. It was a great location to check out some if the sights in the National park.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

This hostel definitely has a fun vibe and a good atmosphere. My husband and I stayed in a private room with a private bathroom and thought it was a decent night's sleep. The kitchen area isn't the best because there is only one stove, so only one group can be cooking at a time, which makes it difficult to guarantee that you will be eating when you want and means you either have to start early before the dinner rush or wait until the previous group is done.

This place is probably great if you are young and/or don't want to sleep. Room was NOT sound proof as per website and it was v v loud w banging doors, kitchen clatter, talking, music till about 11 pm. I could find only 2 bathrooms for lots and lots of people. Staff were v nice and helpful. Good vibe to the place but not our style.

Tidy and comfortable

Self service check it. The theme of Aurora rooms a a bit scary But I booked family room and it looks like a recently renovated place and it is okay. Clean and tidy, the shared kitchen is lacking lights and a bit dark, the common area is really a gem of this guest house, has the mojo of youth hostel.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

We had the family room with a private bathroom. It was very new and clean. The shower was a little tricky though as the curtain did not go all the way down to the floor so water can easily get out. Also, it would be even better if there's a desk in the room. The two small stools were not enough for the 4 of us to put our stuff. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Freezer Hostel is a combination of hotel rooms and hostel/camping accommodations. It has an artsy vibe and good shared amenities including a kitchen and a very welcoming common area where they host live music and other events on weekends. We cannot speak to the rooms at the property itself because our room was not available upon arrival due to an electricity issue. While this was poorly communicated before our arrival, the host more than made up for this by being super helpful when we arrived and by housing us in an alternative apartment around the corner that was definitely an upgrade from the single room with private bath we had booked. The staff were so friendly and I wish we would have had time to come back to the hostel to enjoy their events but we were always too tired from touring. I would return to this property in a heart beat. It seems like a very warm and inviting place to stay.

It was very clean and check in instructions were clear. It would be nice to have towels included but understandable as a hostel. We wish there was an after hours machine to rent towels. Breakfast was good for the area.

A unique spot on our Ring Road travels - you have to experience it. Excellent location, newly renovated rooms, along with existing large lounging and kitchen areas. The sense of history and community permeates through those walls.
