Hvoll Hostel

The room for the 4 of us was very small and not worth the price we paid. There were 3 toilets with showers on our second floor which was not adequate. The place is however clean & tidy including the kitchens and large open plan dinning area. The location and surroundings were great teaming with birdlife which I enjoyed. For those interested here's the official info you need to know for your stay : Self-check in code is sent one day before arrival for a lockbox that is on your left as you enter the hostel. The code is NOT in the booking confirmation. It is on your booking account in the MESSAGES section. You should be able to find it in your email as well, either inbox or spam, one day before arrival. There is a hair dryer in the room and the room comes ready with made up beds and towels. We have 3 kitchens,2x refrigerators, a small freezing area on top of one of the refrigerators, an oven, a microwave, water boiler and coffee machine that needs coffee powder. We provide all pots, pans and cutlery. You need to bring food items like salt, oil, coffee powder. Most of our showers are on the ground floor, while most of the rooms are on the upper floor. If the showers upstairs are busy, please go to the corridor on the ground floor to find more showers."

The price matches the quality of the stay. The location is very remote, which adds to its charm. The rooms are adequate, and the kitchen is well-equipped. The only downside was that during my stay, there was a regional power outage, and the supposed emergency generator took a long time to activate.

Hard to access but OK if you got car. A lot of room and 4 kitchen but the kitchen is full and take time. Refrigerator is also full. We are there during end Sept 2023 and is not even peak season but there is a lot of people. Room is clean and have all the necessity. Toilet is limited too but the queue is not that bad.

Very good for a hostel. Way off the beaten path. Great if you want secluded... or a dark spot for Aurora viewing. Large kitchen. 2 bathrooms. (That I saw anyway) some games and books.

No warm water, small rooms, a lot of stuff doesnt work, been in way better places for cheaper on Iceland. Laundry is a scam, you have to buy two cards even if you need just one which makes it 1800isk. Not recommend.

The common room is huuuuuge! It's good though as we can chat and hangout with the other traveler. They have several small kitchen so no matter how full the residences, you can always utilize their kitchen. The room is spacious as well.

A very lively bustling hostel it was! Room was decent, with just enough space to keep luggage for 2 people. There are 3 Sharing kitchens at ground floor, which are well equipped. Their dining hall is very spacious. Wifi and heater was fine, didnot face any issues. Hostel is a 5 min drive on a gravel road from the Ring road. I feel the Bathrooms need a renovation, even though its clean.

Staff is friendly, instructions are clear. Enough bathrooms for all the rooms inside. Rooms are a bit small, beds are not so comfortable and the kitchens are a bit crowded - 3 kitchens for all rooms. The location is great! We got a chance to see auroras there as you have a clear view for the north.
