Reviews of KEX Hostel and Hotel

Great location and atmosphere

It's a hostel with shared facilities. But that's understood.

Decor, vibe, and amenities were modern and fun.

Horrid smell of feet, beds were close together, other guests were loud and rude

Property was big, well decorated.

The staff was very dry.

Excellent location, close to harbor and sun voyager, clean, comfortable beds and bedding, updated bathroom, property had a great friendly vibe.

Nothing- it was perfect!

The shared kitchen is good for visitors who would like to cook by themselves.

The shared kitchen is good.

Excellent location, very helpful staff, spacious kitchen. Strongly recommended

Kex Hostel was exactly as expected. We were just looking for a place to sleep and shower and it was perfect for that. We stayed in a private room for 2 people. Rooms were basic but clean and gave just enough space to be able to move around. Bathrooms were modern and clean. There was some construction outside but we were warned before arriving and they have ear plugs at the front desk for guests. The common room/ bar area was nice to hang out in and staff were very welcoming. We had breakfast 1 morning and it was okay. We left full but opted to try some other places for the rest of our time in Reykjavik. We rented a car during our time in Iceland and there was parking around the hostel. Parking in the nearby parking garage was a bit pricey but Iceland is pricey overall. We felt safe walking around at night and felt that we were close enough to shops, cafes, restaurants, and key spots like Harpa Concert Hall. I would stay here again if returning to Reykjavik.

Boiled eggs at breakfast were a bit too over cooked.

Good location, perfect for your stay in Rejkjavik!

Great facility and location.

Pricey

Funky hostel in old biscuit factory. Some nice communal areas and great laundry facilities. Kitchen areas well equipped. Staff were welcoming and efficient. Beds were comfortable, had privacy curtains, own charging spots and clean.

Rooms were small and not ultra clean, I have stayed in cleaner places. Lockers in the room are practically impossible to use due to shape and size. Most bags didn't fit under beds either, so room became crowded. Not such a friendly vibe. Kitchen areas were dark and not enough seating for the number of people. Lighting in bathrooms also very dark.

Excellent staff.
