OK. No more, no less.
OK room with access to kitchen. 6 rooms sharing 1 totilet and bath. Wi-Fi. Nice view from our side of the building. I find the room a little expensive.

Basic Accommodation with Everything You Need
Blondous is a small town in Iceland and there is not much choices for hotel or hostel. Riverside Hostel is clean and equipped with a kitchen which you can cook your food. Everything is well appointed and we'll definitely stay in Riverside Hostel again if we visit Blondous again.

Aðstaða sem kom á óvart miðað við verð.
Gistiheimilið var mjög hreint og snyrtilegt. Eldhús vel búið. Rúmin góð. Netsamband gott. Þjónustan góð. Engin handklæði og ekki sjónvarp. Nærumhverfi mjög skemmtilegt, með auðugu fuglalífi á Blöndu og gömlum húsum sem verið er að gera upp.
