"The Double Deluxe Rooms are basic but cosy, with large windows overlooking Laugavegur, soft beds and small-but-functional tiled bathrooms. Guests also have access to the top-floor balcony cafe."

"This lively, HI-affiliated hostel with a clean, minimalist vibe has become something of a hub of backpacker activity in Reykjavík. Most come for the four-, six-, and eight-bed dorm rooms."
