Dalur - HI Hostel

Careful with bedbugs!! And the worst… once advised property they haven’t done anything for over a week, kept renting same infected room, pretty unacceptable from an operator considering the size of the hostel. Very sad experience, avoid if you can. Overall super dirty…worst choice!

the hostel has alright facilities, but there was so many things wrong. two times during our 4 night stay, the hostel made a mistake so someone walked in while we were sleeping because they were assigned our room by mistake even though the room was already full. this was such a bad experience and should never happen once let alone twice. the hostel didn’t apologize or anything, and there were also problems with the communication for us and for other guests staying there. not a good experience, I would recommend staying at Kex hostel downtown instead as the Dalur is also quite far from the city centre.

Very clean, kitchen, the staff there are very helpful and friendly, clean showers and bathroom. Theirs is a nice walking trail behind the hostel and it’s a short to downtown Reykjavík. Pool near by at well

Clean, is the first word and a really pleasant surprise. We had all we needed, spatious showers, clean toilets, a well equiped kitchen and impecable linens in the bedroom. So a hostel to feel like home, confy and relaxed. We stayed only a couple of hours before going to the airport but it was the place we needed for a refresh and rest before travel back.

I can't express enough how awesome this place is!! A true gem among the lodgings in Iceland. Lovely nooks and crannies everywhere to be alone or socialize, clean, cleverly designed and decorated, eclectic, comfortable beds, kind staff, security is top notch, absolutely delicious homemade food at the Cafe, totally accessible (I'm wheelchair bound), eco friendly, affordable, lots of print resources available, great wifi, next door to an absolutely huge public pools complex, bus stops on your doorstop, and did I mention the most helpful staff? I'm enamoured with this place!

We stayed twice, once in a room with shared bath and the other with private bath. The shared bath experience for some reason was more comfortable than the private bath. The price for both was pretty high considering it is a hostel with all the hostel feel. The staff was excellent and very helpful though. Just don’t expect hostel pricing on anything. Beds were hard as a rock. Duvet did not cover the bed so it was like using a crib blanket to sleep under.

W ehave spent 2 nights at Dalur Hostel. What a great place, a hostel where the whole world passes in front of you simply spending some time at the reception! Travelling with kids we have loved the common kids area just in the center of the entrance, with a huge window where you can look after your kids while they play and you can relax sipping a tea. Located very close to the city center and provided of everything a traveller might need, from a fully furnished kitchen to a nice bar. Very recommended it
