KEX HOSTEL
Situated along the waterfront, this charming vintage hotel offers comfortable dormitories and private rooms.
This hotel is the best you'll find at this price. Set along the waterfront in a former cookie factory, the dormitories are extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The bar/lounge/reception area is one of Reykjavik's most popular venues, hosting a wide variety of concerts in a great atmosphere. Retro 60s decor, hearty breakfast and unbelievable silence at night! A must! Please note: even in a private room, you'll have to use the shared bathroom facilities.

Loved the rustic, vintage vibe of the whole place. Lively lobby with reception people there for you at all times. Perfect location right on the water. Great way to meet fun, young people or just simply have a place to sleep!
Only removing one star for the bathroom cleanliness. I did see the staff cleaning every day, but i could tell it’s been a while since the bathrooms have seen a *deep* clean. They all have a mildew smell and there is some residue growing in the shower grout. Bring flip flops too, the floors are always wet and very cold. But I do like that they have private bathrooms with their own showers!
Weekends at the hostel's bar/restaurant there's live music - amazing local bands, had a great discovery of new talents. .. The whole place is loud at the weekends, but you just let it be and enjoy! This is Reykjavík!! Definitely coming back!! ????????????
p.s. image - a view from the coast, which is 30 seconds walk, and same mountain and the ocean you see from the hostel's bar/restaurant. ????
