Loved by Kex Reykjavik guests
"Despite sleeping 42 to a room, I had a great experience at the hostel as it wasn't too noisy."
"I really liked that there were multiple extra bathrooms with a toilet & shower to get some more private space."
"Each floor has its own kitchen and refrigerator, and that was a great help as I traveled by myself and like to get my own food."

“I found a place with a peculiar charm; its slightly worn, classical vibe feels authentic. The on-site restaurant definitely won me over-the view complements a surprisingly great pizza. It seems like a solid choice if you value atmosphere and don't mind a bit of imperfection.”
