    Negative Reviews

    negative:

    No elevator to upper floors.

    Reykjavik Downtown Hostel is not fitted with an elevator. As a result, some guests lodging on the upper floors of the hostel have found it a struggle to access their rooms/dorms.

    negative:

    Communal kitchen lacks an oven.

    Many guests find the hostel's communal kitchen, located in a separate building, to be very useful. However, the kitchen lacks an oven, meaning guests are limited in the meals they're able to prepare during their stay.

    negative:

    Shared bathrooms can be very busy.

    While guests are often surprised by the cleanliness of shared bathrooms, they tend to be less impressed with the occupancy level. Reports suggest that each ten-bed dorm is fitted with just one bathroom, meaning it can be a long wait to use the facilities during peak hours.
