"I would like to say that I really enjoyed my stay at Reykjavik Backpackers and my whole time in Iceland.

 

"I really appreciate all the help I got from the extremely friendly and patient staff from Reykjavik Backpackers during my four-day stay. I went to Reykjavik on a long weekend in the summer 2011. First of all, I missed booking the last night of stay (totally my own mistake), and the staff tried their best to find "a bed" by calling every other hostel in town. When no one else had an available "bed" in town, I was allowed to sleep on the couch in the common area (the best possible option I could have in that situation while all the hotels in town charged $280/night) and to use the bathroom facility without being charged! The girl who worked there that night even gave me a cushion as pillow for the couch! The staff also professionally arranged all my day tours and provided very useful information during my stay. This is the best hostel I have ever stayed at and I would definitely go back! Many many thanks!!". (Email review, Dec 9th 2011).

"...I just wanted to say a huge thank you for a great stay in Iceland! I will
definately be back! :-)". (www.reykjavikbackpackers.com, November 5th 2011)

"I can't say enough about this hostel! The staff is absolutely amazing! Very helpful and super friendly. Very knowledgeable about every activity we wanted to do during our stay. You can book tours and transportation right from the hostel! The rooms and washrooms were very clean. This was definitely THE best hostel that I have ever stayed at. I will absolutely be back! Thanks Backpackers!! Allyson (Canada)" (Email review, May 14th 2011)

The backpackers were great, actually the BEST for information in Reykjavik. They told us absolutely everything we ever needed to know, from best places to hang out and do photo shootings, to sheep and horse gatherings and hitchhiking tips. I only wish I got the names from the cute guys behind the counter. Definitely going back! (please don't change the staff. ;) ) (Jane, through Reykjavik Backpackers website, 25.April 2011).

"First Class - Thank you!" Not only was Reykjavik Backpackers an extremely high standard of accommodation, every staff member went beyond the extra mile for anything I asked. In particular, I left behind some personal items in the bathroom when I left, and when I contacted them after I had returned to England, not only did they (Jon) send me a photo to confirm the items they found were mine, but they returned it all to me first-class post! It wasn't a small box of things either! So - thanks a lot team, I have never come across such amazing service. (Website review, 27. February 2011)

The staff are awesome and very helpful. great location, big rooms and good facilities. (Hostelworld review, 10. December 2010)

"Character: the hostel is one of the best i've been in. It has all the conditions, kitchen, a lot of bathrooms, living rooms (where everybody meets), and so on... Security: nothing to worry about Perfect location: Laugavegur is the main street of shopping and souvenir shops and is only 5minutes from almost everything. Staff: perfect in all senses. Very nice to the travellers, talkative and helpful in everything. Ask them whatever you want. Some of them even live there." (Hostelworld review, 19. October 2010).

"...that offers clean facilities and is quite homely. Its only a short walk from town. Had a great stay" (Hostelbookers review, September 19th 2010).

"...everything is great, Very helpful booking tours and recommending fun things to do." (Hostels.com review, July 27th 2010).
