Selfoss Hostel

Very cosy!!! Not crowded, kitchen is big and tea and coffee are available. Bathrooms are modern ! Staff is very kind and available even in self checking mode! Beds are super comfy. Parking space is very convenient. Highly recommended !

Quite, clean, and we'll appointed. Had a 3 person room bigger than my first apartment! Kitchen is great. Close to everything. Great stop when doing the Golden Circle or South coast tours.

The receptionist was great. Everything was really clean. Over All the experience was great. For the price it is so good and close to miðbær selfoss eitch is so nice walking distance to for example restaurants swimming pool and ice cream shop

Located on the main road in Selfoss, so some street traffic noise was experienced. Bed was old and not comfy; pillows were thin. We had a private, 2-person room in the basement. Very small. Had in-room sink, though, so we could wash up and brush teeth in there. The individual shower rooms were nice, and the WCs were in good condition. Bed linens provided for free as well as towels (which is unusual for a hostel). There is a washer/dryer on site. Huge kitchen/dining area if you want to prep your own food. You must take your outdoor shoes off in the small front entryway. It appears that some tour companies use this place as one of their overnight stays, so there was a rush of people in the evening then again early morning. You can easily walk to the food hall or other local restaurants. Overall, neither the best nor worst hostel I've stayed at.

I have stayed here previously 5 years ago and returned again this February. |It’s in a very handy location with easy access to supermarkets and restaurants locally. This served as a perfect base for us to travel around the golden circle and to other parts of the island. ||The positives are that it is conveniently located, its generally quite clean with good facilities, notably the large communal kitchen. The rooms are adequate. And finally it is very affordable.||The negatives are that this place has not changed in any way since i last stayed, even so much as the pictures in the kitchen are still wonky (not a big deal) . The main negative for me was the poor choice of pillows, they have certainly exceeded their life expectancy and need replaced. ||If they are replaced id be delighted to come and stay again, however my heart sank a little when i saw the pillows were the same as 2019.

I really liked the vibe and staff of this hostel. They give you free coffee tea and chocolate milk (and chocolate!!). Super new and clean kitchens and bathrooms. Also, free menstrual pads. The only problem for me was that the room windows were very drafty, which works on my throat and gave me a cold. This is also something personal though as im sensitive to it, should be only a minor problem for others. The walls are also thin and you can hear others very well, the signs of 8 to 10 quiet are hard to guarantee Overall a good experience, definitely worth the money you get a lot in return but there are some flaws still

I'm impressed by this hostel, warmest comforter I've slept under, shower stalls are huge with excellent pressure and hot water and have a place for everything so you could change easily, bathroom clean, well-supplied. Guests are very friendly and receptionist funny and tried to accommodate everyone fairly since there were many who were stranded because of a snowstorm had no reservations and it was full. Overall a surprisingly comfortable stay.

Selfoss Hostel was the first place we stayed in on our trip to Iceland in March 2019, and we stayed there for two nights, the hostel working as a base for our Golden circle day trip.||||The hostel is very easy to find, as it is just along one of the main streets in Selfoss (yes, I can hear someone asking whether it really would be hard to find anything in a town of the size that Selfoss is, but I stay to my statement here). The hostel is on a walking distance from two grocery stores/markets, the other off which, Nettó, is almost in the neighbor. This makes buying things like snacks or breakfast materials very convenient.||||We stayed in a three bed room. The room had it's own small sink, a small desk, three beds and a wardrobe. The room was plain, but still very clean. The beds were rather ordinary with a rather thick covers. The pillow surprised me positively, as on the first appearance it seemed like a formless sack with minimal amount of fillings, but I actually did not have anything to complain about after the two nights of good sleep. The ventilation in the room was a bit sub-optimal, mostly dependent on opening a small window in the room, making, for example, drying one's clothes or swimming gear a bit difficult.||||The hostel had two showers on the second floor, both of them clean and new-ish, together with several toilets. The common kitchen space in the first floor was spacious and seemed to be well equipped (this with a pinch of salt, as we did not use anything but the fridge in the end). ||||We bought the breakfast for both of the mornings and while it may not have been the most lavish I found it to be very adequate to fill one up for the day's adventure and, in hindsight, the cheapest breakfast on our whole trip.||||The staff, the little we saw them, was friendly and spoke fluent English. ||||The hostel really has a small hot tub on their backyard, free to use for all of the guests, which to me was a nice little detail in the available services. As it seemed to be quite popular, I would believe it is a nice place to meet fellow travelers, if that is something one wants from their trip.||||All in all, I had a few good night's sleeps in this nice place and would not hesitate to go there again.
