There was not a single 240v power outlet in the room for folks needing to have one (e.g. require a medical plugin device) which wasn't anywhere in the description. There were only a couple of USB connectors which doesn't help 240v needs. Had I have known there weren't any, I would have needed to select another lodging. Please include in the description of the lack of 240v power.

Pros: This hostel is clean. Towels were provided. The shower stalls are very private with no gaps in the doors. They provide a nice coffee machine in the kitchen. The location in between two beautiful waterfalls is very convenient. You can easily walk to both. Cons: One of the toilets had a broken flusher. You can make it work but it's a little tricky to figure out at first. That's a really basic repair that should be dealt with right away. You can hear a lot from the rooms beside you, if someone sneezes across the hall you hear it clearly. The two fridges get crowded because they are on the small side (bring your own napkins/paper towels). The parking lot had some refuse including a rusty nail which we nearly parked on top of, it could use maintenance. Overall, this hostel was comfortable and conveniently located. However, the value does not match the price. As with everything in Iceland, it was expensive to stay here. The reason that matters in this case is that there were other places we stayed on our trip that were a similar. cost but had more privacy and amenities.

Great location ... loved the helpfulness of the stuff ... but ... super weird set-up for the rooms since THERE ARE NO POWER OUTLETS in the rooms (just USB slots). This made a bit tricky to use my CPAP machine (which I need for sleeping). I contacted the staff about it, and they brought extension cord ... that I plugged in the outlet in the hall ... so that was helpful workaround (but felt weird to have this extension cord out in the hall in everyone's way)

Minimally staffed but well-organized. Good kitchen with plenty of supplies.

Easy check in, nice clean room. Good amenities

Everything felt clean and building felt safe.

Room was clean. Kitchen was new. Shower rooms could have more hooks or dry area to put clothes and toiletries. Toilets were clean and spacious. There is no laundry or it hasn't been installed yet, but the facilities description on Expedia has laundry included. It looks like there is renovation going on.

Clean room Easy check in and check out. Quiet room! Recommended !

Just fine

Okay. Place was very clean, amenities were good to great, location is nice. But dear Lord the doors. All the room doors have door closers that are set to slam the living daylights out of the door in the last 6 inches of the swing, so when people enter or exit their rooms (which happens about 5 times a minute) there is the equivalent of a sonic boom that reverberates through the entire hostel. It actually got so bad it became comical. I don’t know if it’s an oversight or some form of passive aggression to ensure guests leave smartly, but in the context of a place where the chief activity is sleep, one wonders how this could have been overlooked.
