Very clean! Loved the coffee station and relaxing common rooms. My room was cozy and warm. Great location for exploring the city and getting buses and shuttles for airport and excursions

The room was clean, albeit a bit small. The walls are practically paper thin so bring a pair of noise cancelling headphones. Despite the noise, it is a perfectly nice place to stay and relatively inexpensive, as well as being in a great location. If you are on a budget, then it is worth staying here.

Easy access with front door codes and room codes. Small room but have communal living room and dinning room. Bathroom is shared. Good for a quick overnight stay. Boxed breakfast was given to guests in the morning.

Now called Old Town and not Kastali, I found the hostel to be in a great location, quiet despite the being well occupied, the rooms fine, and the bathrooms kept clean the entire time I was there. Pretty nice, actually.

8/10 Very good

Had to call the number by the door on arrival, the guy who answered was very helpful and easy going. The fact that I had to call was very annoying as I didn't receive the code for the door initially..

2/10 Poor

We stayed for three nights, but the room was not cleaned during our stay. There was no staff available at the reception, and the coffee machine on the ground floor was not working. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. There are shared bathrooms, which was not mentioned on the site. It was my worst and most disappointing experience, I would not recommend this hotel to any of my known.

2/10 Poor

I had a very disappointing experience with Old Town Reykjavik Hotel. I booked a 6-night stay and communicated in advance that I would be arriving a day late. The hotel acknowledged this, so I expected a smooth check-in process. I also asked about early check-in since I would be arriving early, but was told check-in was strictly at 2 PM. That was disappointing, especially since I had already paid for the previous night. What made things worse is that “check-in” turned out to be nothing more than receiving a message with instructions to access the room—something that could have easily been provided earlier. When I arrived around 12:30 PM, there was a staff member cleaning in the lobby. I waited respectfully before approaching her. After about 20 minutes, I asked if I could check in, and she said she could help. I went to grab my bags, came back, and she was gone. From that point, things went downhill. I waited over an hour in the lobby with no assistance. I called every contact number provided multiple times—no answer. I even reached out through Hotels.com, and while it took some time to get connected to a live agent, even they were unable to reach the hotel staff. At that point, I had no choice but to book another hotel nearby for 5 nights. Four hours later, I finally received a message with check-in instructions—long after I had already made other arrangements. This experience showed a complete lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer service.

Great location and price

Perfect for my needs, great location between downtown and old town. Room was clean and well presented, check in was easy, recommended for a short stay but some may prefer private bathrooms for a longer stay
