The hotel was well located at the center of Selfoss, close by major roads, groceries and restaurants. The self-check-in was easy, room was clean and functional. Although the rooms did not have private bathrooms, but the shared bathrooms were plenty and well equipped. The heater was very powerful and kept the rooms warm in winter. The shared kitchen was large and well equipped- you can pretty much make any food as you were at home.
The facility in the rooms was limited (which should be expected). And it appeared that no staff onsite.

Quite large property with a very large and fully equipped kitchen. The lounge is tiny, there is a tv but no channels. Rooms are small and come with a washbasin, the showers and loos at in the corridor. Bed was comfortable and there is plenty of storage. The location is excellent with free parking right outside the entrance. There are hot outdoor baths about 5 minutes walk away from the hostel. Make sure you visit the Skyr visitors centre that is nearby! Great for a night or two.
Didn't meet any staff during the entire stay, would be nice to have at least limited reception hours. Also, please get the TV sorted.

Nice small self-check-in hostel near the golden circle, directly on the ring road. Equipped with a big kitchen with four cooking spots. Very nice shared bathrooms! Washing mashines are available. Self-Check-In was easy. There was a sink in the room.
I've never met anyone from the Hostel itself, so if I had needed something, it would have been hard to get in touch. A phone number was provided but that one was only for emergencies. My room was quite cold in the night and I would have liked another blanket. The walls are rather thin and you can hear noises from the neighboring rooms.

There was underfloor heating which was a god send after a day out in the cold. The rooms were comfortable and the clean and the price was fantastic. The location was brilliant in a gorgeous town. I had a slight issue when we arrived and the owner contacted me straight away to resolve it. The kitchen facilities are fantastic.
It would have been better if tea and coffee were provided as we bought some and it was taken by another group who were there.

It's a self check-in hostel. You have supermarkets, gas stations, pharmacy, bakeries and anything you need close by. I had a private room with a small bed and a sink, which was very convenient. The kitchen was big with all the necessary equipment. It was very quiet at night, maybe because there weren't many other guests around.
There wasn't really anything I didn't like, but maybe compared to other hostels it was a little bit pricier.

Perfect place to rest if you are traveling in the area without having to go sell a kidney ehhehe. Staff is nice and helpful. Thank you Alda for the help with my mistake booking the wrong dates and letting me sleep for 1 more hour :) Spacious room with a double bed. Nice views to the neighbourhood. Sink in the room. Very confortable bed! Was sharing 2 full bathrooms with 4 or 5 rooms, everything was nice and clean. Doors can be a little bit noisy but after everyone went to bed is complete silence. Highly recomend Selfoss Hostel, i will come back for sure. Very good value for money!

Extremely convenient location. Free parking outside of the hostel. Self check in if you arrive late at night. There is the choice of getting a private room-you just have to share the bathroom and the toilets. Clean,warm rooms and a very big kitchen with dining area Overall,it’s a good value for money
It doesn’t provide breakfast included in the price,as the majority of hostels do

Efficient self check-in, clean room and shared bathroom, very comfortable bed, free parking. Hotel staff (Paulina) is so friendly and nice person, and she recommended places to visit nearby Selfoss city. I may visit again to see Aurora during winter.
I don't have any negative feedback, as my stay was excellent.

The rooms are big and cozy. Plenty of bathrooms, some of them seemed to me quite luxurious for a hostel, which was a very welcoming surprise compared to other hostels I stayed in the past.
Considering the amount of people that can be hosted, the kitchen didn't have enough dishes and pots and pans. It was a bit poorly refurbished in my opinion.
