Skogar Hostel

We had a great experience and their kitchen worked perfect for us!

Clean rooms. All very tidy and maintained well. Parking at rear of property.

No breakfast (excellent coffee machine though). Kitchen is top drawer. Quiet.

Great stay, very clean, well equipped kitchen, quiet, easy check in and check out

The bed was comfortable.

Love the location of this hostel, very easy to find. You can walk to the 2 waterfalls nearby. The bathrooms are modern, spacious and clean

.

Had a room with shared bathroom. Rooms and bathroom very clean. Easy late checkin - was provided code to access building and room. Available breakfast was standard Iceland hotel/hostel breakfast.

Das Hostel ist eigentlich vollkommen okay. Tolle große Gemeinschaftsküche, sauber, warm, ordentlich und gute Lage. Was überhaupt gar nicht und auf keinen Fall klar geht, ist die Lautstärke der Türen. Bei jedem Öffnen eines der Zimmertüren im Gang hört man deutlich bis in das eigene Zimmer hinein das viermalige Piepen der Türcodezahlen und anschließend kann man sich schon auf das Knallen der Zimmertür einstellen. Das passiert je nach Auslastung alle paar Minuten, nämlich immer dann, wenn jemand entweder das Zimmer verlässt (Rums!) oder das Zimmer betritt (piep,piep,piep,piep....Rums!). Das geht so bis spät in die Nacht hinein. Geht für einen Ort an dem man übernachten will so überhaupt gar nicht klar! Hier sollten die Inhaber unbedingt zeitnah in lautlose Codeschlösser, zumindest aber in dicke Tür-Gummidichtungen investieren. Ständig knallende Türen sind ein 100%iges NO GO.

Free parking, and beautiful location.

Clean room and bathroom. Easy access to check in. Nice quiet area.

Excellent

The place was extremely clean with easy check in.

Nice location , no reception but all are available and you can ask if anything required. Nice common kitchen with a coffee machine and free coffee.

I've never stayed in hostels before but I really enjoyed our stay here. The facilities were great, very nice kitchen area, nice shared bathroom and good room and bed. No complaints. We had supper watching the falls.

Stayed here for three nights as a base to explore south Iceland. Big place with many rooms (50ish?). Kitchen was excellent: huge space, four separate induction cooking surfaces, two fridge/freezers, nice coffee maker. Never felt crowded to be in kitchen given it's size. Plenty of separate WCs and showers: rarely had to wait for either. Rooms were very dorm like. Quiet hours mostly followed; quiet enough to sleep even though many people/full capacity. Although "hostel", most people there were 25+. Not a rowdy place as some hostels can be. Our biggest issue was that our room was v moldy and smelt like wet socks. Probably due to fact it was next to showers. We kept the windows open most of the time there and that helped a bit. This was really our only complaint about this location but it did mean we didn't want to spend any time in our room other than sleeping. Finally, we did find Skogar to be a good base for exploration: much more laid back and not overcrowded compared to Vik but not that far from it in a car (25m). Can easily walk to Skogafoss (30m), Kvernufoss (25m), and museum (5-10m). We would probably stay here again but ask to be located further from the showers in case that was the issue with our room.

The facility of the shared bathroom is too simple, no facility to put our stuff- like new dry cloth. Then guests have to only cover a tower to the bathroom.

surprisingly clean and well equipped!

Better than expected actually. Big kitchen. A washing machine would make the stay even better

Basé à côté du site de la cascade, au calme et à proximité de la route 1, établissement rénové, chambre petite mais avec le nécessaire, sanitaire propre.
