6/10 Good

You won’t actually interact with any staff at this hostel since everything is all digital, which is fine until you have an issue. Location is good, cleanliness could be better. Our room had a crooked painting, wonky lock, and paint peeling from the window but it was comfortable for a night. The building itself is a labyrinth with random hallways but there are signs which helps.

Great location w free parking. A few of the big landmarks and great restaurants are nearby. Check in and check out were extremely easy which I appreciated.

8/10 Very good

The issue that we had with this hostel is that we didn't receive any information on accessing the hostel once we arrived. We had to call to get a code and that took a while. Once we got in then we had to find our room. This wasn't easy as there are no clear directions in the hostel on how to find each space. Once we were in, we were fine. The room size was fine and the bathrooms clean.

Hostel B47 was a great place to stay. It was easy walking distance to the Main Street and the kitchen facilities are fantastic! We got woken up each night by other residents who forgot the code and got locked out but this isn’t the hostel’s fault.

Excellent accommodation!

This is a very clean hostel (including the shared bathroom!) in a convenient location in Reykjavik. We are a family ages 55, 54, 18, 17, and we would definitely stay again—even we parents would stay here if traveling on our own. We were very pleased and the savings allowed us a spa adventure!
