For this price, I really can't complain, it was great! Excellent value for money. I happened to be there on September 22nd, which was a free bus day in Reichenau. At this price, other hotels only offer dorm beds or guesthouses with shared bathrooms. They also offer luggage storage and 24-hour check-in.
First off, the location is super convenient. It's about a 15-minute walk from the airport to the BSI bus terminal, right behind the church. I booked a single room on the 4th floor, directly facing the kitchen, but it wasn't noisy at all; everyone was very considerate about keeping their voices down in the common areas. Having a kitchen was a lifesaver, especially during Christmas when many restaurants were closed. The groceries I bought beforehand at the 'Little Pig' supermarket truly saved me. Overall, it was clean and hygienic, and there were plenty of shared bathrooms and toilets, so they were always available.
KEX Hostel in Reykjavík is a great place to stay, especially for budget travelers and friends exploring the city together. The location is excellent, right in the city center and close to the seaside, making it easy to walk to major attractions, restaurants, and shops. The hostel has a unique, social atmosphere with a lively common area and bar, which is perfect for meeting other travelers. Rooms and facilities are generally clean and functional, though they can feel a bit basic and sometimes noisy due to the hostel’s popular and central setting. A special highlight of your stay is being able to see the northern lights from outside the hostel, which is a memorable experience and shows how good the location is near the waterfront. Overall, KEX offers good value, a fun vibe, and a prime location for enjoying Reykjavík.
I did not receive the check-in information before check-in, so I contacted the host through Facebook messenger when I arrived at the hotel door. The rooms are on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors and there is no lift. It is very inconvenient if you have a large suitcase.
The hotel has poor sound insulation and no front desk. For those with poor English, you may have to choose carefully. The boss is very good and let me check in early. Very close to the church. After taking the airport bus to the terminal, it was about a little more than one kilometer away. I took a taxi and spent 90 RMB.
來冰島大學讀研,攜程上可以下單,住了一週靠近市中心,房子背面就是中餐館Fine restaurant. 工作人員很熱情,離學校宿舍搬進去還需要一段時間,不得不在各大平台薅羊毛。
a favorable reception is really impressed
The hostel is absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such warmth and hospitality. The staff were incredibly helpful and always had a smile on their face. Our room was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city, making it so easy to explore all the attractions. We will definitely be back!
The room was spacious and clean, shared bathroom was also clean. Good spread for buffet breakfast and good amenities to use in this guesthouse. There was a strict check in at 3pm but the host let us wait in the waiting area when we arrived at 2:30. It has nearby bus stop but everything is walking distance if you brace the weather.
I didn't make a reservation personally, but I couldn't get an email from the owner, who said self-check-in, and after another guest opened the door, I called the owner and went in. Open the part with the room number attached to each room and press the off-time key. When you check out, you can leave it in it. The entrance is not the front door, but the second floor of the next staircase. The underground luggage storage room is You have to go back to the building, not next to it.
It was nice to be close to the city center and the museums
Very Good

GGuest UserThe environment is good and the whole is very clean; there is a kitchen to buy food and cook, because Iceland is very expensive, many Europeans cook by themselves; the drawback is that there is no staff, and no one responds to the email; the first floor is a bar restaurant.
TTingZipFantastic location. We stayed for three nights, they provide towels, bath shampoo and hangers in room. There are side table and chairs. The common kitchen is well equipped and there are so clean. Some traveller bought food to prepare breakfast and dinner. It's so convinient to walk to city.
Recommend for team building and school camp.

ZZIJIANBreakfast is a popular Nordic breakfast, and the Chinese may be a little uncomfortable with it. The room is quite satisfactory, there is a kitchen, very easy to use. There is no kitchen in Building 43, so it is a long way to go. The kitchen in Building 45 is easier to use. You can park at the door.
AAnonymous UserTowels were provided in the room but it is shared toilets. Things were generally clean but quite worn. Communication from the property was prompt and in advance which was good.
