You are welcome for the tips. I would be interested to hear what the hostels are like in Iceland.

I totally agree. There are good and bad points to hostel life but we all like cheap accommodation so we stay in them. At least you know if you don’t like it there are other options like booking in to a cheap hotel.

I totally hear you. I rarely stay in hostels nowadays because I enjoy my sleep also. Plus I like a little luxury.

Yes, agree, staying long-term in a hostel isn’t for everyone but if you can’t find something more homely for a longer stay then hostels are the next best thing.

Thanks. I’ve done a load of research staying in many hostel dormitories around the world.

Not until you have stayed in many hostels do you realise those extra little things to bring will make your stay a little better, like a sarong. Glad you liked it.

I enjoyed it at the time, although there were some downsides. People with a never ending supply of plastic bags who need to pack at 5am, the snorers, the ones who come in at 4am drunk and trying to get into the wrong bed/room. But I have also met some amazing people in hostels. Some of my favorite places to stay have been hostels, although I am now at a point where sleep is more important so I’m more likely to book a hotel, or a private room in a hostel. Same chance to meet people in the common area, but a better night sleep
