There wasn't any staff around and we couldn't do the check-in. No one didn't answered when we tried to call so we just took some room with an open door and a key hanging out from there. It seemed that it had been cleaned but we couldn't be sure because someone has clearly stayed overnight in the other room which door was also open. Later someone from the hostel called us and apologized but he didn't offer any refund etc. Hostel itself was very clean and cozy and location was very good, but we couldn't see any staff during our visit.

Eigentümer sehr freundlich. Im 2er-Zimmer jedoch keine Steckdosen und Mobilar im öffentlichen Raum wirkt etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Auf der anderen Seite für ein Hostel ausreichend.

Quaint Fishing Village Stay

Aska Hostel was centrally located in the quaint fishing village of the Westman Islands. Shared bathroom and shower space was clean and tidy. Towels also provided. Wi-Fi was available throughout and there was a shared kitchen on the first floor. We lucked out with a corner room and had breath-taking views of the sea cliffs from two sides. Paths to the volcano, Brothers Brewery, and delicious Joy Restaurant are only a short walk away

Good location, clean rooms.. very basic hostel.

Pro: Really good location. Clean and spacious rooms and bathrooms. Everything went smooth. I would stay there again. Con: This is just my personal preference. I didn't see anyone at the front desk the whole time I was there (both in the evening when checking in, or in the morning when checking out). I didn't have any problems during check in/out, but I generally prefer to be able to interact with someone in person (either to introduce me to the hostel or the area, or just to answer any potential questions that I have).

Check in process was disorganized and unclear. No one was at reception, and I was forced to make an international phone call to contact the person who was supposed to be working at the reception desk. It was also unclear who at the hostel was an employee vs who were guests. The hostel itself was in great condition and had excellent facilities. The room was clean and comfortable.

Great location - place just ok

Bedroom and shared bathroom areas were clean. Common area and coffee/tea/sink area not so much. Shared refrigerator very smelly :-(. Staff was mildly friendly but the least customer service oriented of all places we stayed on our trip. It is a typical 2 star place. A bit over priced for what you get in my opinion. I would stay there again if it was my only option but I would do so knowing it was a lower end of a two star place. We stayed at a different place every night during this trip to Iceland. ... This was definitely our least favorite.

Aska Hotel - Enjoyable Stay

Aska Hostel was a very nice and enjoyable hostel, at a reasonable price, located in a great part of town with a solid restaurant next door and a local craft brewery across the street. Rooms were clean and the Wi-Fi worked well. It also appeared to be a family friendly space. As this is a hostel, there are shared bathrooms/showers/sinks.

Best hotel we had in Iceland

What a great time here. The hotel is, clean (no shoes beyond the main entrance), quiet and very close to a nice restaurant, two shopping center and within walking distance of the ferry terminal. Price/value was unbeatable. Staff is friendly and helpful. We arrived there at 10 am, early check in was possible 30 mins later thanks to early leaving guests. We can highly recommend this place
