Good stay!

Room was a great location for touring the downtown cheaply. Included free parking just a short walk away. Would definitely recommend if in the area. Only issue we had was the shower drain didn't work well.

I always stay here before and after a long horse ride holiday. It's always the same and very affordable if you don't want to spend a ton of money on a room you will barely be in!

Nice piano in the lounge. Loved playing it. Good location.
Jeremy, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff are super friendly and helpful. Though a bit out of town, it is close to the bus terminal for airbus. Taking a bue to city centre is also easy and convenient. Student canteen and bar provide good food at lower price. Good value for money.
Mo Yee, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean and efficient. Great place and would stay again. Door looks worked well but it would be nice to be able to access the builiding through other doors than just the main door which requires a number of stairs.
Robert, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was very helpful. The beds were comfortable. The hostel is close to everything. My only wish is that someone could turn the big light in the sky off when i went to sleep.

Karen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here on my last night. Lovely building on campus. Rooms are fairly modern, clean and comfortable. Beautiful common space off of the lobby that is colorfully decorated and has cozy chairs and a piano. 10 min walk to the BSI bus station which made getting to the airport easy in the AM.
Abra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Praises and accolades to the friendly, helpful staff at the student hostel. The facilities were excellent and the location ideal for walking into town. There was free parking in the adjacent lot, which made it a perfect base for the many day trips we took in Iceland. Highly recommended!
Brian, 10-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I’ve stayed at this property 5 times when taking students abroad. It is perfect for travelers who do not need bells and whistles. The kitchens are extremely well accommodated and you are sure to meet interesting people there. The rooms are small and efficient, but with great views, clean air, and powerful showers.
Alissa, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a great hostel to stay in if you’re looking for privacy and a clean/safe experience. I only wish I could have opened the window as the room was a bit stuffy, but other than that I ha
