Nordic Hostel is well located in the centre of Reykjavík, and provides a shared lounge, free WiFi and a bar. Popular points of interest nearby include Reykjavik Art Museum: Kjarvalsstadir, Laugavegur Shopping Street and Harpa Concert Hall & Conference Centre. The accommodation features a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. As someone who was traveling alone for the first time, I was anxious to book this hostel since it was new and had very few reviews. But it turned out great. Loved the hostel ambiance, bed, bathrooms were clean, people were respectful to each other, the receptionists were helpful. If you're traveling to Reykjavik via bus or cab, use the landmark as Bus Stop #9 or #13, as the hostel is very close to it. Use the same bus stop for your tours. The famous church is just 5 min walk from the hostel. There's a fast food restaurant right next to the hostel which was great to grab a quick bite to eat.

Situated in Reykjavík, 2.5 km from Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach, Hostel B47 features accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around 1.1 km from Solfar Sun Voyager, the hostel with free WiFi is also 1.6 km away from The Pearl. The property is less than 1 km from the city centre and a 5-minute walk from Hallgrímskirkja Church. We had a problem with the room heater which was not switching off. But the host promptly provided us with a second room. In the same hostel we had one more booking after completing the Ring road trip. We opted payment at location but before some day of our stay, the hostel tried to get the payment but was rejected as by credit card is pin locked. Since my payment was rejected due to pin locked my booking was cancelled and I have to book another room at the last moment. This situation give us tension or nothing on us. Please look into this type of situation. Booking.com should also take care
