The 9 Best Hostels in Iceland (Updated 2025)

"In the center of town near bars, restaurants, and coffee spots, this lively hostel features an in-house bar serving local brews and comfort-food items like burgers and nachos. It has 103 beds across three floors (mixed dorms, single-gender dorms, and private rooms); dorm beds are basic and not super comfy but rooms are relatively spacious with lockers. There’s a fully equipped kitchen and even a sauna." - Matthew Kepnes
