We had a bunk bed that squeaked every time you would move. Even if it was just to move your leg.

I loved the communal breakfast and hangout area. Very inviting. Rooms were nice. Staff was great. Always there to help.

The doors slamming at all hours of the night was a little annoying. The breakfast was expensive for what it was.

Easy to get to and centrally located for walking to shops and restaurants. The room was a decent size and comfortable. The bathrooms were easy to access.

The lockers provided weren’t really big enough to store luggage and didn’t seem to be able to be locked. Outside was also a little messy with lots of broken glass

Great price and good facilities for cooking and preparing food. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Beds were also very comfortable

I love the cover on beds from side, sleeping is easier now! Always admiring the stuff, especially on the bar, sending greetings to a guy, who asked me about bad habits I have, just because of the song playing. Really cozy talks and hostel as well, always returning when needed.

Seemed like it was in a sketchy area with abandoned looking buildings next door and broken glass everywhere outside. We heard someone throwing glass bottles on the ground outside during the evening. On the pricier side for a hostel.

Very warm and inviting atmosphere, cozy. Well decorated. Lots of bathrooms and had no issue accessing one of the private showers. Water was hot. Bed was very comfortable.

Nothing. All was good.

Near the centre and the sea. I was in the 42 bed dorm, not as bad as it sounds as it's divided into sections. I slept well. Decent kitchen and lounges. Several bathrooms, all clean. I enjoyed my stay here. Lovely outdoor space especially as it was a hot day!!

Guests do not keep the kitchen clean... unfortunately....

Location is great. The staff was very nice and helpful. The bar in the hostel is very convenient. Clean rooms, comfortable beds.

I felt the bathrooms could have been more often tended to. I understand there are a lot of people going and coming but these people are not all concerned with the cleanliness of the place. I felt the food was expensive. Also, did not like the loud music on some nights. I needed to get up at 5 and they played until 10ish.

Very accessible to bathroom and kitchen areas. The grocery store is VERY close by.

It's quite a busy place with hundreds of beds, so if you are looking for a quiet place this is not the right place. In the evening you could sometimes hear the noise from the bar or people moving in the hallway (ear plugs are freely available though!). Since many people used them, the showers were sometimes a bit messy. Kitchen was well equipped but some things were missing, e.g. scissors, more bowls, spare dish soap etc.

Nice hostel close to the city center including a bar/restaurant and an event location, with many people - not just hostel guests - frequenting them. Comfortable shared areas and well equipped kitchen. Stickers and pens for labeling your food were available in the kitchens. Ear plugs were freely available at the reception. There were plenty of toilets and showers available. The rooms were nicely equipped with lockers (locks can be bought at the reception) and a small desk. During my second stay in a 16-bed room there even were some comfortable couches!

Expensive, to be an hostel

It's a classic backpacker hostel, very well situated, near a supermarket, to the sea and few minutes from center town. I slept in mixed dormitory. All kind of servics are available; it's possible to cook there.

The outside of the building is not so attractive but inside is amazing

Good position Nice room Clean Best spot The garden

I feel that the rooms have only a small window, and it's necessary more fresh air in the rooms.

Well located, many clean bathrooms available, a really good kitchen, and a very good lobby with a nice environment to socialize.

Too many people in each room, noisy at times. Neighborhood was pretty run down, but looks like it is getting cleaned up.

Casual, great breakfast.

Also taking in account we are in Iceland and everything is overpriced, I found quite exaggerated paying 90€ to stay in a room with other 20 beds. As per my memory it was the most numerous hostel room I’ve ever been, and in the same Iceland I payed less or the same amount to stay in private rooms.

The Kex Hostel is in a good position near the port and some of the main attractions of the city. Its location inside the same building with a bar makes you feeling at the center of the city nightlife.

Stayed in August 2023

The front of the building was not pleasing to the eye. The building (appeared abandoned) next door had trash and garbage out front. Realizing KEX didn't have responsibility for their maintenance it was a disgusting eyesore. Would have taken 30 minutes to clean up the trash.

Location was close to city center and right on the water. Room was shared with 5 others. Personal locker available. Kitchen facilities were clean and areas for storage was available. Staff were friendly and helpful. Prices for food and breakfast were reasonable considering it was Iceland.

Noisy

I felt like they were many people living there permanently for work, the bathrooms and the kitchen were pretty dirty.

I loved the vibe of the hostel, bar and outside patio are amazing.
