Description

So you´re finally visiting Iceland? Then come and stay with us at the Hostelling International Reykjavík City Hostel – a great starting point for travelling inside the country and enjoying all that our energetic little city has to offer!

Whether it´s the hustle and bustle of the city or the peace and quiet of the country you´re after, at Reykjavík City Hostel you can enjoy the best of both worlds. We´re situated in the Laugardalur Park, the city´s mains recreation area, and nextdoor to the national football stadium, the botanical gardens, and the biggest geothermal swimming pool in Reykjavík. With a busstop on our doorstep, this fantastic location is also convenient for the city centre: 10 minutes on the number 14 bus will take you right to the heart of the downtown and the city´s exuberant nightlife. Alternatively, enjoy the 30-minute walk in the fresh air along the sea front.

You´ll want to take in as much of Iceland as you can while you´re here: exploding geysirs, spectacular waterfalls, black sands, glaciers, the Blue Lagoon or the Great Atlantic rift. Why not let us arrange a tour for you? Our reception and information centre, open 8.00 – 24.00 and staffed by enthusiastic travellers like yourself, provides a booking service on bus tickets, all tours and excursions, and budget car rental packages. There is even a complimentary pick-up service.

We´re open 24 hours a day all year round. The FlyBus runs, upon request, between the hostel and Keflavik International Airport and connects with every flight. Check in is possible any time after 14.00; early arrivals are welcome to store their luggage until check-in leaving you free to explore.

The hostel´s facilities include internet access and free WIFI in common areas, coffee bar, TV, conference room with projector for power-point presentations and our regular cinema evenings, 3 fully-equipped guest kitchens, and laundry. Rooms in the hostel are 2-6 bedded rooms; all twin and 4-bedded rooms have ensuite facilities. And as a special offer to Hostel World bookers, breakfast and bed linen are included in the price of all rooms and dormitories.

The Reykjavik City HI-Hostel is a proud holder of the Nordic Eco label 'the Swan' and the HI Quality Certificate from Hostelling International. We´re the ideal choice for budget travellers, students and groups looking for the perfect place to meet people, exchange travel stories and find new experiences. We´re looking forward to welcoming you!
