Kan ikke anbefale dette hostel. Der er mange andre gode alternativer.
Gode senge med dejlige dyner og puder. God varme. Selvindtjekning var nemt.
Døren til værelset kunne ikke lukkes - låsen var i stykker og gik på karmen. Værelset lå som det første ved indgangen til hostellet, så der var…

Payment & property

Paid when you book, not at the desk.

Rates include the taxes and fees we can read.

The property may take a card at check-in for incidentals.

If you expect to arrive outside reception opening hours, please inform Selfoss Hostel in advance. If you expect to arrive outside check-in hours, please note that Selfoss Hostel charges up to EUR 15 for late check-in. Although all rates are quoted in EUR, please note that charges will be made in ISK according to the exchange rate on the day that the charge is made. The Property offers self - check in only. A deposit may be required at the property.

What we’d check for you here

That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.

Questions about Selfoss Hostel

What time is check-in and check-out at Selfoss Hostel?

Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Selfoss Hostel allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Selfoss Hostel?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Selfoss Hostel have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Selfoss Hostel have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Selfoss Hostel?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
