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!
HI - Hvoll Hostel in Klaustur … A great place for a peaceful stay. There is a tremendous wealth of bird life to study, or if you're not into that, just sit out and admire the view of the Vatnajokull glacier (in Skaftafell National Park). The hostel is extremely clean, modern, and tidy. Rooms can be locked securely. Showers and toilets are spotless.
HI - Reykjavik 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.
HI - Reykjavik 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 !
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.
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.
HI - Reykjavik 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.
HI - Reykjavik 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 - Reykjavik 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.
HI - Reykjavik 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.
Hostel Central in Reykjavík … This hostel is located very close to the centre of town - within 15 minutes walk, and also has a bus stop only a minute away, which runs directly into town.
It is set in a multi-story house, in a residential area, so is quite a small hostel (and not the easiest to find). The rooms have single and double beds in them, and sleep upward of 2 in each dorm room. The rooms are exceptionally clean (as is the entire hostel), and are very private.
There is a shared kitchen, but it is very small and has little seating. This is the only common space for travellers. The shared bathroom is very private also, and is immaculately clean - with bath mat, hand towels and never ending hot water.
This hostel may not have a bustling, party atmosphere, but it is a haven for those who wish to have close access to the city, in a quiet, private, well-run, clean and friendly hostel. A refreshing place to stay and relax.
It is privatly run, with the ever helpful and friendly owners also living in the…
Hafaldan Youth Hostel in Seydisfjordur … Very great view and a nice quiet lounge/dinner/reading area. I recommend it!
HI - Reykjavik Hostel in Reykjavík … It was well cool! I stayed here on a school residential trip. Me and my mate Claire had a good laugh with the reception staff at 2:00 a.m. when we broke a vending machine! The food was nice and the rooms were cozy and satisfying. It was a nice place to stay for a few nights.
