Loved by Kex Reykjavik Hostel guests
"I stayed in a 6 bed mixed dorm room which was on the 4th floor (no elevator - but the staff helped carry the luggage)."
"Booked a private room and had a beautiful view of the water and mountains."
"Rooms are spacious and its such a quirky little place, with so much history on its walls and decorative bits to amaze at."
