It's little bit further from downtown, but it's still ok to go by foot. Beds ver good for the price paid. Toilets and showers were clean and quite new, but some technical details weren't quite right.

Very nice place to stay for a few days in Reykiavik. Rooms are cozy - maybe not a lot of space, but enough to sleep and take a rest. Bathroom and kitchen are shared for all guests however, well equipped. You can find here hair dryer, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and our own towel. I recommend it during road trip across Iceland.

Decent dorm style rooms. Booked last minute and felt it was a good price. I felt safe leaving some things when I ventured out for the day. It was very odd that there is no hostel staff present and that everything is run through the cafe.
Amenities include:
Kitchen
Showers (bring your own toiletries and towel or rent a towel)
Wifi
Lockers (must have your own lock or rent)
Small common space
Location is away from downtown Reykjavik area so it is quieter. Everything felt accessible though

The beds were comfortable, and each bed came with an outlet, and a small lamp. There were about 8 beds per room. Only downside to the rooms is that the blinds arent really incredible, so in the summer when the sun is out for 22 hours its still kinda bright in the room. Hope you can sleep with light lol!
Staff were incredible accomodating, and let me check in a bit early when I was very tired from a very early flight. I also slept in late after check in (~30 mins sorry! Reykjavik knows how to party!) but they werent rude about it and I got outta there while they did a separate part of the room.
Kitchen was good, sometimes messy, but that moreso depends on other guests there not cleaning up. It had pots and pans, a convection oven, kettle, microwave, silverware.
Location is decent. 15 minute train ride to city center, and it was right next door to s supermarket, so I could pick up cheaper (slightly) food. Parking is pretty easy, you can just park in the residential area nearby on the street, you usually dont have to go very far.
Overall a great experience! Would recommend, especially for the price.
Tips:
-bring your towel
-bring your own padlock if you want to use the locker.

The hostel staff were basically nonexistent. It felt like hostel guests were a burden on the cafe staff, and we were told to wait for cafe customers to order before being helped to check in. The staff was never present which led to problems in the hostel.
The largest of these problems was filthy party animals residing in the common room at all times. Drinks and cigarettes were left on the coffee table at all times, and guests were up making noise until 5am. On two instances there were people who passed out on the couch - it is unclear if these people were even hostel guests. These people were all middle aged men who made me feel uncomfortable as a young woman.
The bathrooms also were not up to the standard of other similar hostels I have stayed at. More cleaning is certainly needed to ensure that the bathrooms are not made disgusting, as they were when I stayed. I am very used to hostels and understand that there are many people in a small area, however I never witnessed a cleaning person or even a staff member in the building.
