The 4-bed room was spacious and the bunk beds were comfortable. Having a private bathroom was convenient, and the close proximity to Bus Stop 1 made it easy to explore the city. I also enjoyed the option of grabbing a quick bite to eat at the nearby restaurants after a day of touring.
Although the location of the hotel was decent, it wasn't exactly at the heart of the city as I had hoped. Additionally, having to put on and take off the bed sheets ourselves was a bit of a hassle.

the location couldn't have been better, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. the breakfast options were fantastic and always ready on time. the place was always clean, including the dining and sitting areas. the room itself was spotless, with a clean bathroom and comfortable beds. I have to mention the excellent housekeeping team. I had a great experience and would highly recommend Downtown Hi to anyone visiting. Cons: Could not be improved in any way. 💯.

The hostel had a clean and organized facility with spacious kitchen and well-equipped rooms. I stayed in a double room with my own bathroom facilities, which were well equipped and even had a tiny spot of seaview. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, situated in the city center and just a short walk away from the pier. I had a great experience at Downtown Hi and would highly recommend it.

Convenient location, walking distance to central attractions and other points of interest. Beautiful view from the room, especially during the late evening when it's still bright outside.- Friendly and helpful staff who provided useful recommendations for activities.
The kitchen is located outside, and the door lock was not working properly. Although I reported the issue at the reception, it was not fixed during my stay.

The staff were absolutely lovely. Tours can be booked at the reception desk and tour buses come to pick you up from the hostel door.
Felt very at home, nothing too much trouble.

The kitchen and laundry facilities were a great help, saving us money on food and allowing us to clean our clothes. the location was also a major plus, with plenty of restaurants and shops within a short walk. Plus, being close to a grocery store made it easy to grab any essentials we needed.
There were a few downsides to our stay. the bathroom had poor ventilation, which made the room quite stuffy and uncomfortable.

The location of this hostel is unbeatable, just a short walk to the city center. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing great recommendations for things to do in the area. I really appreciated the 24-hour reception desk, as it made it easy to check in and out at odd hours. The cleanliness of the room was impressive, and I was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable beds. The eco-conscious practices at the hostel were also a nice touch.
The breakfast at the hostel was a bit pricey for what it offered, but there are plenty of affordable options nearby. It would have been nice to have on-site parking, as navigating the street parking signs in Reykjavik was a bit challenging.

This spacious and clean hostel offers a great location, with all the city's sightseeing spots within walking distance. The en suite bathrooms are well-maintained, and the welcoming staff ensure a smooth check-in process. The well-equipped kitchen in a separate building provides a homely feel, perfect for those on a budget. The hostel even has a communal space with stunning harbor views, allowing guests to enjoy the Northern Lights from the comfort of their rooms.
It would have been nice to have an oven in the kitchen for more cooking options.
