8/10 Good
"The full beds comfortably fit 2 people and had a curtain. The room also had a curtain over the window, which made it pretty dark, although some light leaked through, so bring an eye mask if you are sensitive. Other travelers were also very polite and sensitive, though people were constantly coming and going, so there was a bit of noise until quite late. It is quite a crowded place, so there was not always a bathroom or shower available during peak hours, but otherwise, it was what we needed on our way east from Reykjavik."
