Kex Hostel

I‘ll recommend to choose a lower bunk when you are going to stay in a 6-beds-room, because there is no private curtains in upper bunks. What’s more, you must spend about 6 euros to rent a towel if you don’t bring one. It’s a little noisy in night especially for people who must go sleep and get up early to attend a travel tour. But you can always get ear plugs from the friendly stuff for free.

Cons: 1. This building is a former confectionery factory. You feel like the horror movie Saw 11, only in reality. Everywhere there are portraits of long-dead people, like in a cemetery. They are looking at you from everywhere. 2. Old, shabby furniture with elements of attributes of a touring circus. 3. Everything needs renovation. 4. The hairdryer doesn't work. 5. Paid towel 7 €. 6. There are no partitions in the shower room and you wash in groups of 5 people, just like in a public bathhouse. 7. Dirty. 8. There are a lot of people and they snore loudly around the clock, cough, talk, rustle bags and bags, slam doors, leave and come, beds constantly creak. 9. The feeling that you are in hell. It's impossible to sleep. 10. There is a charge for a locker with a lock. 11. There is no shampoo or shower gel. 12. The toilets are dirty. 13. You clean up your laundry. PROS: 1. There is a kitchen with all the appliances, although for two nights the neighbors drinked alcohol and screamed at the top of their lungs. 2. Cheap 3. Not far from the center 4. Wi-Fi

Front office very helful, try the best to assist the guest Place is cool and clean.safe location is convenient to most seesighting point With see view

Hostel was in a good location, close to the centre of Reykjavík. The staff weren’t the friendliest upon arrival, and didn’t explain anything about the hostel, as was expected. The hostel wasn’t the cleanest either unfortunately, with the showers being quite unpleasant, though adequate. All in all I would recommend this location due to the price and location.

No elevators in G+4 floor building. They do not mention this anywhere before booking. The dorm rooms are on 2/3/4 floor. If you have medical issues/back issue, definitely do not go here. Staff is also not helpful or interested whatsoever in customer service. Poor management. Not recommended at all!

The ambience of the hostel is very good, easy to meet some nice people.

Location is perfect. It really close to the waterfront. But there is no hot water in late night.

Amazing stay and amazing view from the hostel

Big dormitory hard to sleep. Public shower facility
