Kex Hostel - A converted biscuit factory with ocean views, gastropub dining, and multifunctional event spaces
Located in a former biscuit factory in downtown Reykjavík, this distinctive Reykjavík hotel accommodates up to 215 guests across various room types, from dorms to private quarters. The ground floor houses Sæmundur gastropub, which serves seasonal dishes including fish and chips alongside local craft beers and cocktails at Drinx Bar. Two guest kitchens allow for self-catering, while the Text lounge-library features leather sofas and Icelandic sagas. Kex Hostel's Gym & Tonic hall, styled as a boxing gym, hosts conferences, concerts, and film screenings. The vintage Raxtur salon offers haircuts in the building's vault. Mountain and ocean views stretch across to Mt. Esja, visible from many rooms. The property sits two minutes from Hlemmur bus station, with cultural attractions, shops, and restaurants within walking distance.
Pros
Live music events run Thursday through Saturday at Drinx Bar
Heated outdoor patio available for guest use
Vintage industrial design with salvaged materials and found objects
Building houses artists' studios and the Reykjavík Dance Atelier
Cons
Shared bathroom facilities in most room categories
3 miles distance from central Reykjavik
“Kex Reykjavik gets the social hostel experience right, with the added benefit of private rooms that deliver hotel-like perks. Its central location makes walking to key Reykjavik sites simple. I think it's a solid base for budget-conscious travellers who still want personality and comfort.”
