Aska Hostel

Heimaey

I would describe this hostel to be in poor state. But staff was friendly.

No one there to meet you. Had to call a number and the guy tells hou what room to go to. We had two rooms, both were already occupied. Tried to call back but no one woukd pick up.  We left and found another hitel close by luckily.

We had a great stay at the Aska hotel, which was most definitely thanks to the owner's hospitality and kindness. The rooms were clean and spacious enough, and the showers and toilets were very clean. We felt like everything had been renovated recently because everything was clean. The owner was very helpful, she showed us around and told us where to get food late at night. She also allowed us to leave our luggage during the day so that we wouldn't have to hike with it. We reccomend this place

Very good

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.

Even if there are many boat every days, if there is some wind boat can be canceled for a full day. It’s possible will not be able to go there or to come back. If you need to cancel the booking they will not refund you. Go there is you are already there but not in advance. Staff will just not reply and ignore you.

Don’t book there

and I have been to Iceland for three weeks. Clearly, the worst problems (toilets, bodyhair in shower) are the fault of some other costumers, but hotel staff should be there to clean these things. Also there is more dirt, which has been there for a longer time (How often are they cleaning?) My feet are sticking to the floor and the washrooms dont look like they have been cleaned today properly. 
I dont feel good in here and using the toilets is really not possible for a woman. 
At least my bed looks clean.

The dirtiest hostel of my trip

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

Quaint Fishing Village Stay

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).

Good location, clean rooms.. very basic hostel.

This was our second hostel stay during our time in Iceland. We were hiking most of the day and this friendly little place was a welcome rest area. The rooms and restrooms were very clean and the staff was friendly. The beds were very comfortable, but the shower was even more spectacular. Sporting a large rain shower head, the shower also had adjustable pressure that gave an invigorating wash at the end of a day of a strenuous hike. The kitchen area was functional, with many utensils at our disposal, as well as free coffee products. The only drawback was the location of our room directly over the restaurant next door, which did provide some rather loud music, but only for a short while. The Aska Hotel is located right in the middle of Vestmannayer, so we were able to venture out into the town on foot. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.

Great Island

This hostel was clean and modern looking. The staff was incredibly friendly. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. It had a great location down town within walking distance of multiple restaurants.
