I loved being on the water. Would have been really nice to have had an ocean view room. It was super close to downtown and the Main Street. The Hopp scooter is the best way to get around in the city without a lot of walking. I love Iceland and feel I’m 1% Icelandic now. It’s just such a beautiful country and so much to do and see. Even if it’s a scooter ride down the street to the houses and take a ride through the streets and see their homes as you scoot around. They are really beautiful and worth seeing. I can’t remember the price of the scooter services but let me tell you that they are worth every ISK lol can’t beat happy hour at the pubs. 999.00 ISK for a pint. That pretty good. Just order a few before last call and you’re good but I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that lol i got the Iceland AC/DC shirt. So sweet. Gotta check it it out if you’re a AC/DC fan. The sights outside of the city is up to you. I did the Blue Lagoon. The volcano area was closed off so that didn’t happen but the Blue Lagoon is just spectacular and so surreal. I’m not able to walk around as much so I went with the scooter trips and the Blue Lagoon. It just means I have to come back home to see them again and hopefully do the helicopter tour of the volcano and the possibility the tectonic plate scuba diving but definitely snowmobiling on the glacier. You can spend a summer in Iceland and still never see it all lol I miss it it so much. It made my life. I’ve never been so peaceful in my life.

Great value, friendly staff. Our private room and bathroom was a little small and very simple but price was reasonable given Iceland is very expensive overall.
Overall, very good for a hostel. Everyone at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. My only somewhat negative experience was many of the bathrooms on the 4th smelled like urine, especially when you'd shower. The staff works very hard to keep things clean, so not much to do about that. Would book here agin!

Both front desk guys were outstanding. One was Davidb
I had a fantastic stay! The 48 person dorm room wasn't bad since it was divided into 4 separate sections. The other night I stayed in the 6 person dorm that had a curtain. Both beds were super comfy. The check in guy with the rain cloud sweater was super friendly!!! It was a short walk from BSI bus terminal, the waterfront, and downtown! I would absolutely stay here again!
The doors bang all night long, the building is concrete so you can hear it everywhere. The washrooms are dirty and wet all the time there was never soap or paper towels even when they were just cleaned.
I expected a bit more for the price.
Was in a great location - easy to walk places but also find originally. Also a perk - we found free parking outside so didn't have to pay for the whole weekend!
My stay at Kex Hostel was great! The staff were friendly and really helpful, which made the experience even better. The location is perfect — close to everything you need in Reykjavík. One of the best parts was the social atmosphere; it’s a fantastic place to meet new people from all over the world. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and welcoming place to stay.
Everything is very good 👍, clean n quiet. 👍👍👍
Is the guests who stay, no consideration.They stole my eggs on my 2nd night when I wanted to cook. Then the next morning, I hang my towel to dry, it disappeared .
