Top Iceland Hotel Reviews

KEX Hotel and Hostel Reykjavik

KEX Hotel and Hostel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent
"This was a very clean hostel. They had a kitchen you could use and there was a bar and restaurant. Very convenient to the central area of the city. This was our first hostel, so I was concerned about bath facilities however there were sufficient that we never had to wait. I would stay there again."
