Reykjavik Backpackers

The facility is located in a great spot, decently clean, and the staff were always helpful whenever I asked them any questions.

It's hard to tell if they want to be a bar or a hostel, and they seem to focus on the former more. The WiFi is spotty at best, especially on nights when the bar downstairs is full. The staff wasn't always present at the front counter, the kitchen was small, and there was a surprising lack of common areas. It felt as though the accommodations were an afterthought, contrasting with how nice the bar downstairs was. Very spartan. Don't stay in a 6/8 person room or you run the risk of being stuck with an entire family on vacation from Europe who doesn't understand that this is a youth hostel. It should be adult only, as most hostels are. There are also no elevators so if you're on the third/fourth floor get ready to walk up and down stairs a lot, and forget it if you have a disability.
