Iceland Hostels

Hveragerði … I visited Hveragerdi three years ago. I found it a calm and mystical place, you just have to chill there! Walking is fantastic and there is a restaurant that uses underground thermal water to cook with, wonderful stuff. I have booked a flight for my sister to visit in May, but unfortunately cannot remember the name of the very cosy hostel we stayed at and unfortunately there appears to be no hostel there now.

Hveragerði … I lived there for many years. It's a great place to visit for anyone. Try the pizza place -- it's fantastic!

Hveragerði … It is a place to refuel.

Reykjavík City Hostel in Reykjavík … We booked a private room for four--us and our two young children--for the beginning and the tail-end of our two-week stay in Iceland. We were extremely happy with the cleanliness of the whole hostel, the well-equipped kitchen, and the fact that our private room was far away from the dorm rooms--which meant we didn't have to worry about late night party-goers, and they didn't have to worry about children talking and laughing at the crack of dawn. Great price, also. Highly recommended for a small family.

Reykjavík City Hostel in Reykjavík … very clean. bit of a walk into the center but one of the best hostels i've stayed in. staff very helpful when booking tours.

Reykjavík City Hostel in Reykjavík … I would like to say thank you to Ryan and Matinka, who made my trip to Iceland good. They are the staff of the hostel and I miss them already. I'm going to beat you in table tennis next time I see you, Ryan. This hostel was lovely, and I want to recommend it to everybody!

HI - Laugarvatn Hostel in Laugarvatn … We stayed here one night in August '07 after arriving from Germany. Our family room was very spacious and the hostel owner was very nice. We couldn't pay with credit card, but a bank is in direct neighbourhood. We booked breakfast and it is served in their private house. So we could find out how Iceland people live. Generally you have to take off your shoes when entering a hostel or a house in Iceland. The hostel is near the Geysir and the waterfall Gullfoss. It has been the best hostel we visited in Iceland.

Reykjavík City Hostel in Reykjavík … An excellent hostel, with a nice and helpful staff! It has clean rooms and a cool kitchen. I would love to stay here again if I get another chance to visit Iceland !

Reykjavík City Hostel in Reykjavík … Pure magic! This is the best hostel I have stayed in. It's totally what I expected and more. It's clean, and has different lounge areas, etc. I was here in December and it was quiet. I had a four-person room to myself and the en suite showers were grand. It is a decent walk from here to the city center, but if it's not raining then it's a nice walk. Use cold water for cooking; it doesn't smell as bad. The naturally hot water has a sulphur smell to it.

Salvation Army Guesthouse in Reykjavík … Hey! I went to this place two years ago and it was my first time in a youth hostel, and it was definitely an incredible first impression! The sheets were nice and clean, the kitchen wasn't shabby, and the bathrooms were so clean. The shower was so nice, clean, and warm. I got a corner room with 2 others in my family. Very nice! It's also close to a grocery store, the ocean, nightlife, and such. If you go to Iceland, check out the blue lagoon and other thermal pools! But wear a bathing cap at the blue lagoon, or your hair will be gritty from the salt for a few days.

Hafaldan Youth Hostel in Seydisfjordur … I really enjoyed that hostel. I stayed in Hafaldan hostel this summer. It is very nice, clean, and beautifully located. I have never been so far in any hostel from which you can admire mountain and sea landscapes at the same time. In building I liked the most new and fully equiped kitchen, which makes you feel at home. Big plus also for a professional, helpful, and friendly staff. Without doubt I recommend that hostel during Yours Tour de Island.

Reykjavík City Hostel in Reykjavík … One of the best hostels i've ever been to -- clean, safe, and very nice. I went there in november and absolutely liked it -- especially the free wireless and well, the food wasn't that bad. I'm looking forward to go back to Iceland soon and if so, i'm staying there for sure.

Salvation Army Guesthouse in Reykjavík … This was a good, honest, unpretentious hostel, which wasn't trying hard to be cool unlike other hostels. It wasn't luxury, but hey, it's the Salvation Army so what do you expect? The location was superb, right in the centre of town, and this means you can stagger home after a late night out without any problems. The dorms were a little small, but only had four bunks in each, and the linen (which you have a one off rental fee for) was comfortable and they change your towel each day. Breakfast was the same stuff in the rest of Scandinavia (all you can eat bread/ham/cheese/jams with coffee/tea/orange juice). Staff were friendly and happy to book trips and buses.

Salvation Army Guesthouse in Reykjavík … I stayed at this hostel in September for 1 week - location was unbeatable (much more central than the main hostel) and the cheapest option in Reykjavik by far!! There was a small communal area on the ground floor, but most people seemed to congregate in the kitchen on the second floor. The staff were pleasant and I met some lovely people while I was staying there. If you happen to be staying there on a Saturday be sure to check out the indoor flea market which is only a couple of streets away. This place is definitely good value for money in a city where everything else is so expensive!!
