8/10 Very good

Excellent location, close to bus stops, restaurants and shops. Bedrooms were clean and well ventilated. However, some of the showers did not drain properly and restrooms are not always stocked with toilet paper or paper towels.

6/10 Good

The chief virtue of this hotel is its location. It's one of the least expensive places to stay in the old city, but you basically get what you pay for. The rooms are small, the bathrooms are shared, the cleaning and upkeep are minimal, and the staff are non-existent. You are basically paying for its proximity to the center of town more than anything else.

10/10 Exceptional

This place was exactly what we needed. We stayed for about five nights, spending most of our time on road trips and visiting lagoons, so we didn’t need anything overly luxurious for our home base. Despite having shared showers and bathrooms, everything was consistently very clean. Interestingly, I never saw a staff member during our stay, yet the property was clearly well maintained. The showers were always available when we needed them, with no waiting. The location was also a big plus—many key parts of Reykjavík were just a short walk from the front door. I’d definitely stay here again. 10/10. Also, a lot of close by parking that you can finagle overnight with good timing :) Thanks for having us!! Hope to come back soon!!

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.

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.
