KEX. It's the Icelandic word for 'biscuit' and a social hostel & hotel in Reykjavik.

Housed in an old biscuit factory in the heart of Reykjavik, KEX is just steps from all the bars, clubs, and music venues that give this city its legendary reputation. It's also a painless distance from late-night munchies and a mind-boggling array of coffee houses, shops, and tourist attractions.

The space
Our spacious 16-bed mixed-gender dorms feature comfortable bunk beds, privacy curtains on the lower bunks, a reading light and charging plug for each bed, and personal lockers in the room for your belongings.

The dorms are divided into two main sections, connected by a cozy sitting area with comfy couches and large windows that flood the space with natural light.

Showers and toilets are located in the hallway, near each room.

Guest access
You’ll receive your room key and all the information you need at our 24/7 reception desk, located on the building’s ground floor.

Cook your own meals or prepare snacks for the day in one of our guest kitchens, or organize get-togethers at our lively bar & restaurant.

We also offer in-room lockers, secure luggage storage, 24hrs access and security.

Not to mention our breakfast buffet, cozy lounge and sitting areas, plus a heated outdoor patio.

Stay connected with free Wi-Fi throughout the property and enjoy a true home-away-from-home experience.
