Designated parking area for the hostel. Very walkable to the downtown area. They made sure I had all the information I needed to check-in during their off hours so I wouldn't be locked out. Wonderful place to stay.

Nice city stay

The location is great, beds were comfy and it was very clean. There is another hostel in the same building so make sure you find the right door for Baron's.

Perfecto. Ni mas ni menos de lo ofrecido. Justo valor por el dinero. Lo recomiendo teniendo en cuenta que Islandia es el país mas grotescamente caro del planeta, sin sentido los precios de todo.

This hostel was great overall. Very clean. Convenient location. Great view of the church from the common room/kitchen. The only two negatives are that there is no staff at the office in the morning to talk to if you wanted to see if you could have an early checkin if the room is ready. The other is that it is slightly noisy. You can hear groups going in and out when they are in the hallway. But I would return again!

Considering Baron’s is a hostel, my teen and I felt safe and comfortable during our 2 night stay. The hostel was clean and offered us everything we needed. The location is fantastic. Parking is free. We went to the affordable pool / hot tubs next door and loved them.

Excellent hostel! Really convenient location in Reykjavik. Super close from Hallgrimskirkja (church). The room was clean and spacious. Every person had plenty of outlet, which was great for us with multiple devices that need nightly charging. The room got a lot of evening sun (June), so we needed to keep the window open to stay cool throughout the night. The shower rooms were conveniently located, and were available pretty much anytime we needed to use them. The kitchen had a fairly spacious dining area, but there's only one sink, so we needed to wait for our turn to do the dishes. Three fridges to keep our food refrigerated, but they were always pretty full (we found just enough space to put our food in). The code to enter the building was sent in a timely manner, so the check-in went very smoothly. Other guests were considerate, and we didn't have any issues with noises at night. (We stayed for 2 nights.)

Cucina super!

Una cucina super attrezzata che gli ospiti potevano usare per prepararsi il cibo ottimizzando così i costi (che in Islanda sono molto alti). Una bella atmosfera giovane e vivace. Abbiamo iniziato e concluso il nostro viaggio in questo ostello. Consigliato!
