Bus Hostel Reykjavik

8/10 Good

"Its been 10 years since I've stayed at the Bus Hostel, and while I do like the renovations, them not having reception past 4pm and none at all on weekends makes it slightly difficult to check in online. Also considering, that most flights arrive outside of those times makes is a little frustrating. But I called the help line and it was sorted out fairly quickly."
