Loft - HI Eco Hostel & Bar

Loft Hostel is located so conveniently, at the heart of downtown. It has a great vibe. I stayed in an eight bunk room, it was clean and well laid out with each bunk having a light and outlet so you can charge phones. A bathroom with sink and a separate area area with a shower. There is a kitchen stocked with everything you need to prepare a meal. The fourth floor has a wonderful area open to everyone with 3 areas, a deck that overlooks the streets, a bar/coffee area and a warm cozy space that has seating areas, books, games, and more. The staff was so helpful, always pleasant and gave good advice on places to visit.

The room was very clean, and the well-equipped kitchen was a great bonus, complete with a stove, fridge, sink, cookware, and a thoughtful selection of spices and oils. The staff and other guests were incredibly friendly; though I missed the official meet-and-greet sessions, I easily connected with travelers from around the world during my stay. Its central location is also a major plus, offering plenty to do even without a car. I'd happily return and highly recommend it!

We had a very short stay at the Loft hostel, but would definitely consider coming back in the future! The accommodations are great for the price, and the upstairs bar and lounge areas were super spacious and comfortable. We stayed just one night in a 7-person room, which was pretty cozy and had all the basics including a bathroom and a floor WC as well. I was worried about noise from some of the nearby bars when we first got in, but actually slept quite well with a pair of earplugs without waking in the night. Overall a nice stay for the price with cool common spaces and excellent access to Reykjavik!

We stayed at Loft HI hostel for 2 nights in July. It was great. What stood out the most was the modernness of the common spaces, proximity to local attractions, amazing rooftop bar with coffee, great wine selection and cheeseboards, and above and beyond staff. The rooms are fine, nothing amazing, but the beds are pretty comfy and the bathrooms are actually quite nice. Would highly recommend if visiting Reykjavik.

This is a great place to stay, and they send all the instructions before you arrive. Using a code instead of plastic keys is a good idea. I would definitely stay here again! Here are a few suggestions to make it even better: 1. Please put a wiper in the bathroom inside the room, not just in the common bathroom. Sometimes the floor gets wet after someone uses the washroom, so a wiper would help keep it dry. 2. The bathroom sink only fits small bottles for filling water. Medium and large bottles don’t fit, and the kitchen sink is often not clean or easy to use. It would be helpful to have another place to get water in the common area. 3. Please add more hooks or hangers near the beds. Most of the hangers are already used for other people’s clothes, so there’s no space to hang my things. I am sharing these suggestions to help improve the place, not as complaints.

Originally stayed at Loft hostel in 2021 and came back for one night while passing through Iceland on my way back to the US.||The female dorms were comfortable and nicely sized for six women. Attached bathroom and shower and hooks for coats and towels, although many were too high for shorter or elderly guests, which was problematic.||There are also zero trash cans or recycling in the rooms which was an odd choice. WiFi was very good in the room. Depending what room you're in, you will face the street and have some street noise. Rooms can also get quite warm with the 24 hour sun. The hostel is self check in and staff was helpful when one code didn't work to access the rooms. Kitchen is well equipped on the fourth floor but can get very busy.||Overall, would recommend it but probably would not stay again. Not a bad option though if you're in town for a short period of time.

Great central location. I stayed in a 6 bed co-ed room. The rooms and bathrooms were kept really clean. Check in/out was very easy with door codes. Also felt very secure. Only thing to note is that since it is in a busy area, it can get be loud at night.

I really enjoy staying at Loft Hi Hostel every time. The people are really friendly and they are always run an extra mile to feel comfortable. The accommodation is very central but also provide the quite for a relaxing sleep. I highly recommend it !
