Located in the quaint seaside town of Eyrarbakki, your gateway to the Golden Circle and the South Coast. Gullfoss, Geysir, Thingvellir National Park, the famous Blue Lagoon, and the waterfall Seljalandsfoss are all less than an hour away, and so is downtown Reyjavik. Come and stay a while and explore Iceland's natural beauty and national treasures. Right on the seaside, less than a minute out the door to the seaside path through the town. Fully-furnished and fully-equipped studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments with own kitchen and all everything you need for a comfortable stay. Each apartment sleeps up to four and has a private entrance, and there are 36 beds dorm rooms with shared facilities.
Very nice hostel, everything was nice. Fully equiped kitchen, enough clean bathrooms and showers. Cosy living room, large dining room, fine bedrooms. Wifi connection and electric charging station for every bed. Friendly staff.

Excellent stopover on the Ring Road. Big apartment with everything needed in it. Easy to locate and parking is in front of the building. We had the room on the 2nd floor and it was very private and quiet. 4 comfortable beds spread through the apartment and room. Heaters worked very well as that night we stayed was so windy, cold and wet that we couldn't get out for a walk around the area. Do note that no ameneities nearby except a drive 20mins to the nearest town. Good WiFi cover and we had a blast making dinner in the kitchen. The sea is just meters away in the back of the building.

Excellent place to stay. The hostel is beatiful and cozy. Very clean. The rooms and beds are spaceous. They provide free linens and towells, there is also free food and toilletries from other guests. It’s very quiet and friendly. 100% recommendable. I stayed for 3 nights and would have stayed longer. You definitely need a car to move around but It’s pretty close to most of the sites. It’s the perfect place to stay if you prefer something a bit away from the city and closet to nature

It’s located in small town, Eyrarbakki attach to the sea. The apartment is fully equipped with the necessary thing that you want, but there is not stove. Only microwave is provided in the room. Room is clean, large and comfortable. Staff is kind and helpful. Wifi is very fast. The price is very good. Grocery is nearby. It’s just 1 minute walk. There is some restaurant in walkable area. Recommend for all kind of customer.

Clean, comfortable, BIG and stocked with everything you need. The apartment was exactly as described. You can watch the sunrise from the living room window and the waves crash on the ocean. Wifi was strong. Staff was helpful. Easy to find and easy to check in.

Spent three nights, used it as a point to branch out to surrounding areas. Very clean, beautiful location right on the water. Convenience store beside it with gas station. Laundry facility, but they do it for you, so it was about $20 but worth it at that point! Go to Selfoss for food and booze!

we rented an ocean view two bedroom. The toilet stopped up but they have minimal staff to help you out. The rooms are nice with a patio but no real view because the berm by the ocean blocks the view. The kitchen was fully stocked and the apartment is extra large--lots of space. I wish it would have had a hot tub. The front door will scare you away as it looks pretty old and run down but the apartments were updated and clean and modern. Only reason I would not rent this place again is we wanted a hot tub. It was raining so we couldn't walk the beach or use the patio.

Solid hostel on the way to Keflavik+Grindavik, with an oceanside location and all the living amenities. Great host, and a stocked kitchen too. In a neighbourhood so you get a small feel of how the locals live!
