Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    A convenient hostel very close to the sights of the Golden Circle – Thingvellir National Park and Geysir. A comfortable stay here with our family. The room was quiet and the breakfast was generous.

    We have a room with two single beds, and two bunk beds. The beds are comfortable. It’s quite roomy and warm. The breakfast was quite nice with quite many choice of food from 7-10am. Few of the accommodations of similar price range include breakfast.

    It's a self check-in hostel. You have supermarkets, gas stations, pharmacy, bakeries and anything you need close by. I had a private room with a small bed and a sink, which was very convenient. The kitchen was big with all the necessary equipment. It was very quiet at night, maybe because there weren't many other guests around.

    The hostel is in a great location. The coffee lounge area was good and we ate at the picnic benches outside as the weather was glorious. It’s cheap for Iceland and the place is basic. there were some lovely dogs and homemade Icelandic jumpers.

    Our room was spacious, clean and comfy (I saw some rooms are much smaller, but guess cheaper too). Great location on the Golden Circle and good value for the price. The host was friendly and thoughtful. Recommend!

    Selfoss is a great location to visit the Golden circle, Landmannalaugar and even Skógafoss. The hostel rooms are comfortable. The shared bathrooms and showers are clean, but could have more room to put your stuff. The shared kitchen is big enough, but the kitchenware could use an update. The hostel has some common couches but no bar
