Kex Hostel Reykjavik

The place

An old biscuit factory near the harbor, now a hostel with its industrial bones intact. Vintage furniture and antique objects gather in the communal spaces, oddly and easily.

The rooms run from cozy private rooms to family rooms and shared dorms. Budget beds, but styled with the same vintage flair as the rest of the house.

There are two guest kitchens, a lounge, a heated outdoor patio, a laundry, and a reception that never closes. FLATUS, the house bistro, pours beer and serves casual bar bites.
