Hotéis em Hlíðar, Reiquiavique

Contras: Sllightly out of centre. Was ok for us but older people might find it bit far

Contras: It’s a little cramped and noisy, but that is true of most hostels.

Contras: This would be the perfect hostel if the guest that are checking in after 11pm would be quiet. L

Contras: No negatives.

Contras: Much dirtier in person Kitchen appliances don't work (stoves, ovens, microwaves) so use and need of kitchen is pointless People staying there do not clean their dishes, and cleaning crew doesn't do them either, so there's always a sink full of dirty dishes and no utensils. Advertises soap and shampoo provided yet they give 1 tiny bottle of shampoo that people end up stealing so no soap or shampoo Same with the soap in the bathrooms. No soap. Checked out a day early (almost 30 hours early) yet told that no refund would be given because not given 24 hours notice (?)

Contras: I stayed in a room with 12 or 14 beds. The doors on these rooms are "underdamped", meaning they are designed or adjusted to slam very very loudly if you let them close by themselves. It shakes not just the room, but is even obnoxious during the day if you're in a common kitchen or lounge down/across the hall. The door in my room was slammed AT ALL HOURS of the day except 12h30 -- 03h00 a.m. by the absurdly inconsiderate guests. The problem is that there is no effort by the hostel to tell people how to behave, and for some reason a large cross-section of the sample of young travellers in my room seem entirely oblivious to the surely-obvious effects of their actions on other people. There were no quiet hours announced. No one was told to close doors quietly. I was dumbfounded how people stayed up shouting, drinking, etc inside the dorm room (there are couches) until midnight, even when others were obviously trying to sleep, and the same people when they were on a different schedule, were up at 03h a.m. sharp talking loudly, and slamming the door countless times again. I mentioned to the staff that there was an educational solution (maybe) to this problem, but they didn't seem very interested. In addition to all that, the rooms, which look nothing nice as clean as in the pictures online (of course), have little cubby boxes below the beds where you supposedly can lock your valuables. The locking tabs are a bit of a joke, maybe, but in my room several were actually broken off anyway, so there was no way to lock them. This was my worst hostel experience ever.

Contras: It's a little far from the tourist area (shops and restaurants) but that might be an advantage as we got more exercise.

Contras: There was nothing I didn't like

Contras: Washing machine would be nice! They offer a service but I’d prefer to do my own

Contras: Not having bathrooms for both sexes on both sides of the floor. Layout of dorms not great. Bad internet

Contras: Beds were a little dirty.

Contras: The noise from the road is very loud, but if you're tired it doesn't matter. The water from the faucet smelled like eggs (sulfur), but it was't terrible. The water pressure for the ladies' shower on the second floor was pretty bad, but I was still able to get clean.

Contras: room smelled a bit musty only two toilet/showers per floor of about 10 rooms

Contras: I knew what type of facility its was so I knew what I was getting into. All around solid performance.
