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 - 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.
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.
Hafaldan Youth Hostel in Seydisfjordur … Very great view and a nice quiet lounge/dinner/reading area. I recommend it!
HI - Hvoll Hostel in Klaustur … A good stop on the round Iceland tour. There's nothing to do around here, better bring your own food and beer, but there's a nice yard for throwing the Frisbee before bed. Gorgeous view.
HI - Njardvik - Fit Hostel in Njarovík … I stayed in Fit Hostel in March of 2005. It was all right considering I got there at 2 a.m. (due to flight delays) and I was scared. I had never been to a country that didn't speak the same language as me so I was not prepared for that after a long flight. The people at the desk were friendly, which is more than I can say for the locals. My room was clean but very hot (I couldn't figure out the heating system) so I slept with my window open. The bathrooms left much to be desired — very dirty but in working order. The hostel was undergoing renovations, so hopefully that will help. It had free Internet access that was cool. The residents there were pretty friendly. It had satellite TV but due to the weather it didn't work. The kitchens were dirty (dirty dishes piled in the sink and rotting food in the fridge, probably from the residents) but the social lounge was clean and very nice. It was close to the airport, so that's why I stayed there. I would go back if I were ever passing…
Stórholt Youth Hostel in Akureyri … I would like to book for Accomodation from 20 August 2004 to 31 December 2004. I have been Accepoted by University of Akureyri to Study Computer in fall 2004. And I need this accomodation to enable study
