Hotel berhampiran Street life in the heart of Reykjavik city, Reykjavik

We were initially allocated 331 which was in another block and had twin beds, so we swapped to room 301 which was double and we weren't disappointed. It was a clean and spacious, comfy bed .Great to have a ettle, fridge and coffee machine :-) Large walk in shower with constant hot water. Large wardrobe, plenty of storage. We had a 2nd door onto a corridor to other rooms, there was windows in this wall but by opening curtains people on corridor could look in. Only downside no natural light. Relatives across corridor in room 305 had full wall of windows for day light. Breakfast was good choice and plentiful. Reception staff friendly and helpful. Located with walking access to everything. Would stay here again and recommend

Kex… Ugh such a frustrating review to write. I really wanted to like the Kex hostel it has its good points, but overall was the worst hostel stay I have had in Iceland. I’ll give you my very detailed opinion. The Bad… -Lacking in the toilet paper department!!! We were on floor 4 there were several private bathrooms with showers and also separate locker room style bathrooms. At 7:30 AM I ran to the bathroom after finishing my business realized there was no TP! Ugh. Anyway afterwards I looked through the different open stalls with toilets. Only 3 toilets on the whole 4th floor had TP! To me having adequate TP is an essential thing. The bathrooms weren’t restocked until 10AM ish. And we aren’t even in peak tourist season. We mentioned the issue to the staff and they said “just call next time you need something” kinda hard to “just call” when you have already done your business in the bathroom and you need something to wipe with! They need to have staff check the bathrooms more frequently. -The kitchen is sad in the “equipment” department. One of the reasons we stay at hostels is to cook our own food. Maybe they are trying to push buying food from their restaurant. I get that they get a lot of traffic. But the cooking pan selection is -Terrible- nasty old pans that the thrift shop would discard. Janky handles, and interior coating mega gouged out. Don’t come here expecting to cook at least on level 4. -No way to make coffee!!! Again they probably want you to pay for their breakfast. But there is no option to make coffee. No coffee pot, machine, or way to make a filter pour over etc. Don’t bring coffee grounds expecting to make your morning brew. There was an electric kettle, but again no way to make coffee unless you brought instant. -The showers need a good bleach and scrub. The walls had black mold growing on them. Considering the fact that Kex was our most expensive hostel in Iceland (we paid 20,906 for a private double, with linens, and shared bathrooms…or $153 US) compare Kex to the Svjarborg in Stykkisholmer $90 US or Halfdan HI Hostel $63 US ( in both we had a private double & shared bath) but both were awesome and had a fully equipped kitchen with decent quality pots, options to make coffee, and plenty of toilet paper. I understand that being in the city we can expect to pay more. BUT I expect that price to include: -enough toilet paper -a means to make coffee -decent cookware. The good… -The location is great. Easy walking distance to the main shops/streets. And the ocean right across the highway. -Awesome “vibe” cool decor, lots of couches/lounge areas. -Entertaining/Social. In the evening there was group song trivia in the main area, and in another a live band. -Our room a private double with shared bathroom was large, and we slept well. (Note: I have never stayed in a “quiet” hostel so I always travel with a sleep soundtrack on my phone and a melatonin) -The staff was all polite In conclusion, I have traveled on 4 contine

L eau pue l oeuf pourrie et elle est sirupeuse. Nous n avons pas pu boire pendant plus de douze heures de notre arrivée jusqu'à l ouverture des magasins. Il n y a que trois chaises pour une chambre de 4 personnes. Mon mari a du manger debout tous les repas. Le canapé lit était immonde plein de poussière,cheveux et taches rouge comme du sang. Nous avons donc dormi plusieurs nuits entassés à 4 dans un lit deux places. Nous avons immédiatement averti l hôtel par mail et la plateforme de réservation,il n y a pas de réception, aucun employé de l'hôtel sur place, personne n a rien fait pour nous, ni l hôtel ni la plateforme de réservation. De plus en face un chantier, et l insonorisation est inexistante. Dans le couloir juste après la porte un énorme extincteur est posé au sol, en mode débrouillez vous..Un cauchemar.

My friend and I shared a room during our stay in Reykjavik. Two twin beds were very comfortable and so were pillows. Quiet location. Black out curtains worked well. Location close to sites and restaurants. Immaculately clean property. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was perfect. Limited parking spots on property but nighttime street parking is free from 6:00pm to 9:00am.

Great location. 10 minutes walk to the church/city centre. Free parking in the neighbourhood. If you book the small room with shared bathroom you realy get a tiny room with hardly any space to open your suitcase. Everything was clean. The kitchen is well equipt and all day free coffe or tea. Magdalena is the best. She keeps the hostel running and is the soul of the house. Tak ferier.

酒店有兩個門，一個正門，一個後門用於各種預訂活動的接送（在預訂極光或出海等活動時，最好和旅行社確認一下地址，攜程上面的地址是sigtun28，但是接送是在sigtun38，應該就是後門地址）我們第一天晚上的極光，就一直等在正門，打了電話給旅行社，才知道司機一直等在後門，跑到後門去，司機又已經開到前門來了…折騰了一下… 酒店有很大的免費露天停車場，對自駕出行很友好，不用費腦子去找停車場。離大教堂等景點大概5-8分鐘車程，步行就要15分鐘左右，在大冬天裏就不怎麼友好了。 早餐中規中矩，符合冰島當地一般水準（和之後住的希爾頓差不多）有自己動手現榨的橙汁，挺好喝的（可能是因為是自己榨的吧…） 酒店餐廳掛了很多獎牌，應該在當地是一家出色的餐廳吧。但是由於時間上的安排，沒能去吃一餐，現在還是比較遺憾的，如果有時間的話，可以嘗試下。 房間大小能接受，床品也相對舒適（可能因為時差和太累了吧，睡得好得不得了）衞生間有浴缸和淋浴房。暖氣是裝在窗台下的暖氣片，拉上窗簾的話，效果就不太好了。對了，這個酒店有一次性拖鞋，就直接放在房間抽屜，這在歐洲比較少見。

This hotel has a lot going for it, but it's held back by the fit and finish of many of the hotel's spaces. Overall, the hotel just feels dated. The red carpet in all of the halls is faded and stained, the wood floor in the room had a lot of damage, and the spa is way past its prime. On a positive note, the furniture in the room has been updated recently and the pieces were nice plus I found the bed to be very comfortable. Also, breakfast was really good! The service at the hotel was also great. But that spa, ugh. It's a perk of being a gold/diamond member, but the spa is just not in good condition. Most urgently, something needs to be done about the steam room, it smelled awful while we were there and even made other parts of the spa smell. But overall, the spa was just not in good shape with damage everywhere. Also, the location of this hotel isn't great if you're looking to explore Reykjavik but, if like us, you want somewhere with free parking for you to explore the rest of Iceland, then this is a great location for you.

Under average hotel, the staff are very friendly and willing to help. But the room is so small that it is far below the average. Breakfast is provided with a lack of choice. Generally speaking, it is not worth it.

The scenery from the room was beautiful, overlooking a lake.. hotel staffs were all very friendly. Breakfast and dinner were good! The room is a bit gloomy due to the color theme..This place definitely ideal to spot for northern light although we didn't see any during our stay as it was cloudy. The hotel has a deck for northern light observation. overall we enjoyed our 2 nights stay.

It is next to the airport. I drive that's why it is really convenient for me to return the car. Aurora, volcano and snowing, all amazing view captured by my fiancée and not only make her happy but me. Anyway, staff are nice either!
