Relaxed, strategically located, homestyle atmosphere, awesome crew- friendly, helpful.Good breakfast st reasonable price. Varied lounges for groups and individual s alike.
Not a deal breaker ..there is no elevator if you have big and heavy luggages. Travel light - manageability is key.

Perfectly and strategically located!
The bus stop is just across the street.
Pick up and drop off for tours and Fly Bus (Van) is right outside the hotel.
The Crew runs the place very efficiently! You will never feel helpless!
Shout out to Patricya, Alicja, Jagoda, Julia, Slim and others whose names i have not gotten! Special shout out to Huang and Cho for keeping the quarters and WCs clean and not run out of supply.
Different lounge nooks that suit
everyone’s vibe! Perfect for both huge crowd and solo travelers.
Kitchen on each wing is available if you want to prep your own meal. There are small bins you can use for your food supply.
Laundry room and storage in the premise are huge pluses !
The welcoming atmosphere where you can be home away from home . Relaxed ..with everything you need in it.

The staff was very welcoming, the rooms, showers and the common area are very clean and very quiet. The hostel has it's own kitchen which has everything you need for a short stay. Awesome place, 10/10 would recommend, especially if you are coming with a car!

The room was clean and tidy. The location is good, although it is a bit farther from the city center. There is a bus stop right in front of the accommodation, which makes getting around the city easy. The kitchen is well equipped and has plenty of items available for use.

Great location, clean, convenient.
You need to make your own bed, you also need to clean your own bed. No towels.

This was my 11th stay at the Reykjavik/Dalur hostel, and I have been pleased with the staff, breakfasts and utilities each and every time. The beds in the large, mixed room were comfortable and clean. I particularly enjoyed meeting my roommate from Victoria Island, BC, Canada. She was very kind, clean and responsible. I look forward to my 12th stay for the Summer, of which I`ve never experienced in Iceland yet. Luisa, who was in staff from time to time is a good asset to Dalur. I`ve been a guest of the hostel since the 1990s and find this to be my favourite hostel in the world! Kudos!!!!
I missed the Northern Lights due to a misguided viewing site. I`ve seen them before. No problem... I wish the shower rooms might have a shelving unit for storage of soap and shampoos. Otherwise, all was fine during my stay...

Very Chill and comfortable hostel and everything runs perfectly.
I saw the Northern Lights at the hostel yard, it’s so amazing.
Only one thing to be considered is the distance from the city. It takes about 30-40 minutes’ walk to downtown if you like walk it would be nice(along the seashore is nice to walk). Bus14 is also available but the bus fee is a little bit high(credit card can be used directly on the bus one trip is 690 isk).

This visit, I used the kitchen, which was nice to have after 3 weeks of camping.
Some people did not clean up after themselves in the kitchen so it was not clean.

The self check in was amazing especially since we landed at 2am and didn’t arrive to the property until 3am. Liked that in the four person bedroom there was a table and lots of hooks to hang things, the space was great. Also appreciated the shower and toilet being separate from the sink so multiple people could be getting ready at once.
Beds weren’t made when we arrived which was only a little frustrating since we arrived so early but not the biggest deal. Also not sure how frequently the duvets are washed since I never saw them in a linen cart and they weren’t dropped off with other laundry.

Dalur – HI Eco Hostel has many good qualities, especially if you're looking for a clean, eco-friendly, and calm place to stay in Reykjavík. The rooms are comfortable, well-heated, and clean, with good beds and a quiet atmosphere perfect for resting after a long day of exploring. The location is also very good: the area feels completely safe, even at night, and it’s easy to walk to parks, a public thermal pool (Laugardalslaug), the botanical garden, grocery stores, and cafés. The city center is about 25–30 minutes on foot or a quick bus ride, so you don’t really need a car. Walkability and public transport make it convenient for both solo travelers and groups.
There’s also a cozy café/bar area with snacks, drinks, and breakfast. The breakfast was simple but decent enough to start the day.
However, we had an uncomfortable moment: even though we paid for the breakfast, a staff member came to our table and told us we were not allowed to take our sandwich an apple and a banana with us. She wasn’t rude, but the situation felt unnecessary and left us feeling embarrassed, as if we were doing something wrong. This small interaction left a stronger negative impression than expected, which is the main reason for the 3/5 rating.

This was my first ever hostel, and as a solo female traveler I felt safe. I booked the 6 bed female room and met a lot of nice people. It located in a great area close to a lot of restaurants and sites.
Everything was reasonable
Thank you for your information!
