Perfectly Adequate Hostel
Centrally located, everything within walking distance. ZERO parking in downtown Reykjavik, would not recommend if renting a car. Hostel has 3 floors, steeeeep stairs by American standards. Shared bathrooms. Towels upon request (stack of towels was left out for late check in). Beds are typical European (short bedding, one comforter per person). Our room was under the roof (roofline very low) leaving half of the room practically unusable (crawl or sit). Room was super tight, cramped but functional for two nights. We had the emergency exit in our room, which included the corresponding Exit sign that lit up the room like a Christmas tree. Had to engineer a cover to be able to sleep. Property is adequately clean. Shower water is hot, pressure is great but smells distantly like sulfur. Breakfast is generous with varieties of (wonderful) breads, jams, cereals, hard boiled eggs, coffee, tea etc. Check in instructions were mildly confusing, but can be figured out (ALWAYS GO TO AURORA Guesthouse first).
