- Avg. price/night: £209.72Review score8.5Very good · 1,624 reviewsIncredible service from the staff here. I was in an awkward situation and they spent the time to reaccomodate me in difficult circumstances. It’s always tidy. It’s cosy. It has cool events on. I felt very safe and even at home on this stay. Best hostel in Reykjavík, definitely recommend booking while it’s available.Guest review byLouiseSolo traveller
- Avg. price/night: £90.02Review score7.9Good · 4,693 reviewsGreat Location, very popular hostel with travellers from all over the world. Great party hostel vibe, if that’s your thing. Breakfast provided at a cost was excellent. Smooth check in . I would advise if going with friends to book together, otherwise you will not be guaranteed to be sharing a dormitory like in our case. Beds ok does the job.Guest review byDionnePeople with friends
- Avg. price/night: £108.19Review score8.6Fabulous · 3,355 reviewsFriendly staff when you actively approach them yourself, room mates and great location. It was clear that they attempt to keep things clean (but given the small amount of bathrooms and large amount of guests, it can get dirty). It’s an Alright budget friendlier option (in terms of Icelandic pricing) for a few nights if you are ok with a very basic hostel experience and out and about most of the time anyway as I was. Rooms were mostly cleanGuest review byLisaSolo traveller
- Avg. price/night: £89.28Review score8.0Very good · 5,041 reviewsGreat location ! A 5 minute walk from the main part of the city, friendly staff, our bed was super comfortable and the room itself was lovely and warm! Key code entry system was great too, felt safe and didn’t have to worry about leaving a key somewhere, perfect to stay at if you’re trying to see Iceland on a budgetGuest review byChloePeople with friends
- Avg. price/night: £90.02Review score7.9Good · 4,693 reviewsIt's a classic backpacker hostel, very well situated, near a supermarket, to the sea and few minutes from center town.

- Avg. price/night: £89.28Review score8.0Very good · 5,041 reviewsGreat location, easy walk from bus station. Clean. Very safe measures with a code to enter each room. Arrived at 2am, easily got in with codes and found bed and towel. Next door to geothermal swimming pool, $8.50, but free for those 67 and older. Good price for hostel in Iceland! Very pleased with my stay.Guest review byRuthSolo traveller
