Pros. The Start hostel was clean, comfortable, rooms were generous and beds very comfortable. The breakfast was varied and delicious, and they start it at 4:30 to accommodate early flights. I booked this last minute to accommodate a 10 hour layover, and it was a great choice. The staff checked me in late (just after midnight) arranged my cab and provided a yummy breakfast. I would consider staying here if I did a layover in Iceland in the future.
Cons. It was a little further out than I liked - cabs cost almost as much as the hostel bed. But Iceland is expensive and this is minor. It is also expensive for a hostel bed. But it was toward the low end of the options, so this may just be a complaint that Iceland is expensive.
Pros. Lovely people who ran the hotel - they made us very comfortable and were very helpful with information.
Pros. Beds were comfortable, room and bathroom were clean. Free tea/coffee 24/7 was a big perk. Very close to airport, stable wi-fi and free parking.
Cons. It was difficult to find, my GPS didn't register the hostel address as a real place so I had to use a map to find it.
Pros. The facility was well kept and clean.
Cons. The breakfast selection.
Pros. It was clean, big, super friendly and helpful at 12 am, and really close to the airport. Perfect for late flights!
