Selfoss HI Hostel - Selfoss

Mark Leanings

What a brilliant hostel. It was so warm and welcoming. Really enjoyed it here. The vibe was perfect. Good location with shops and some bars nearby. Some guests must not have seen the 10pm quiet time signs.

Not a good place to stay in Iceland. Very old and abandoned hostel. The rooms smell musky.

Beds are comfortable though. And kitchen is available, but needs some repairs. Fire alarm also a bit too sensitive.

Pésimo hostal en general que no merece el precio que ha pagado. La cocina estaba muy sucia con pocos cubiertos y vasos y los electrodomésticos se estropean y no se reparan. Los baños y las duchas estaban muy sucias. Mucho ruido en la planta superior hasta altas horas de la madrugada ya que siempre lo alquilan a niños, que disparan la alarma de incendios de vez en cuando. Las mini toallas para ducharse los inquilinos son enanas.

La chambre quadruple est assez petite, sans endroit où placer les valises, mais très propre, avec un lavabo pratique au vu des sanitaires extérieurs communs
La cuisine commune est très grande et bien équipée, avec plusieurs plaques et four, il y a également un placard avec quelques affaires laissées à dispositions par d'autres voyageurs

Les sanitaires ne sont pas très nombreux, et il y a juste un petit crochet pour accrocher les affaires dans la douche! Clairement ce n'est pas suffisant, il faut choisir entre traverser l'hôtel en serviette ou risquer de mouiller ses affaires...

Nosotros tuvimos una habitación familiar de 5 camas individuales, la habitación era amplia y cómoda con su ropa de cama y toallas. Lo que no me gustó fue que estaba al lado de la cocina y se escuchaba mucho ruido. La cocina es muy amplia y bonita pero nos la encontramos bastante sucia, culpa de la gente que la usa, por supuesto. Está muy bien ubicado y el pueblo de Selfoss precioso para visitar y comprar en super lo que necesitéis

Grundlegend gut ausgestattet, große Küche mit allen notwendigen Utensilien vorhanden. Bäder und Toiletten waren auch in Ordnung. Sauberkeit war okay. Das Zimmer war nichts besonderes und lag in der Tiefparterre. Obergeschoss war nicht zugänglich.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend Selfoss Hostel to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable stay in Iceland. As a female solo traveler, it was the only time during my entire trip that I did not feel safe. The hostel is run-down, with poorly maintained bathrooms and paper-thin walls that make it difficult to get a good night's sleep.

To add to the discomfort, there is no receptionist at the hostel, and you are given a code to open the front door 24 hours before your reservation. Once inside, you have to go behind the desk and pick a random key and room that you want, then wander around the poorly lit hallway to find your room.

Every single light was turned off in the place, making it difficult to see where I was going. There was one other person in the hostel, and I could hear every sound they made due to the thin walls. To top it off, there was black stuff on the ceiling of the room, which was a concern.

On a positive note, there was a sink in the room, which was nice to have. However, considering the overall state of the hostel and the lack of safety measures, I would not recommend this place for the cost. Overall, I was disappointed with my stay at Selfoss Hostel and would not stay there again.

I'm impressed by this hostel, warmest comforter I've slept under, shower stalls are huge with excellent pressure and hot water and have a place for everything so you could change easily, bathroom clean, well-supplied. Guests are very friendly and receptionist funny and tried to accommodate everyone fairly since there were many who were stranded because of a snowstorm had no reservations and it was full.
Overall a surprisingly comfortable stay.
