Kex Hostel

KEX. It's the Icelandic word for 'biscuit' and a social hostel in Reykjavik. What's not to love?

Housed in an old biscuit factory in the heart of Reykjavik, KEX is just steps from all the bars, clubs, and music venues that give this city its legendary reputation. It's also a painless distance from late-night munchies and a mind-boggling array of coffee houses, shops, and tourist attractions.

Of course, you might not even want to venture outside of the hostel with all its features, including a café and bar, lounge area, heated outdoor patio, tourist information desk, and free Wi-Fi.

Please note that linen is not included and there is a mandatory linen fee of 1100 ISK per person per stay.

In addition to our dormitory rooms, we offer three different double rooms.
The Double Plus has one double bed, a private bathroom, and a fantastic seaside view.
The Double Standard has one double bed (of the most clever convertible design in case you get tired of being so close to your travel partner), shared bathrooms, and - if you are lucky - the same fantastic view.
The Twin Private has two single beds and a better-than-average chance of making your friends back home quite jealous indeed.

Ladies - for your comfort and peace of mind, we offer female-only dorms. If you would prefer to reserve a bed in such a dorm, please make sure to do so directly from the reservation window. If none are available, you are welcome to contact us after booking to double-check.

Families - a few of our four- and six-bed dorms can be used as family rooms. They include a bunk bed and a double bed. Baby cribs are also available to families traveling with a diaper bag. Please be sure to contact us after booking in order to arrange for this type of room. Space is limited, and family rooms are reserved on a first-come basis.

Two guest kitchenettes are also available. There is breakfast which is only bookable at the reception upon arrival, you can choose between classic (1990 ISK) or vegan (1290 ISK).
