About the place

Fantastic 9.0 star expand_more

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.

Very impressive interior design. Its modern, and yet comfortable. The hostel is spotless! I hope they get to maintain that. We stayed for 3 nights, and the staff were awesome from day 1. Always had a good night's sleep. Wish we could extend, but we can't, so we will just visit again!

When we arrived we noticed that for the room with shared beds that we had reserved the blankets were not included ... They must be paid in addition, which we had not paid attention to on the site when booking, maybe is it from our

Overall a good experience with a downside
