Chose single room for 2 nights, i arrived hostel after 4pm so the reception was closed, but i can find my key with my name easily at the box next to reception. My room is not at the main building and have to walk to next next building, it's not far though, 1 min walk. My room is clean & warm but no desk as photo shown...also near the kitchen, a bit noisy when someone is cooking. 8 mins walking distance to Hallgrimskirkja, 10 mins to Laugavegur Street with many gift shops & restaurants, 15-20 mins walk to city center which is acceptable for me. Lastly, the closest pick up / drop off bus stop is no.11, 6-7 mins on foot, please spare more time if you walk under the snow.
