Guests who stayed here loved
- Kimberly
United States“Excellent location, close to harbor and sun voyager, clean, comfortable beds and bedding, updated bathroom, property had a great friendly vibe.” - Jennifer United States“Kex Hostel was exactly as expected. We were just looking for a place to sleep and shower and it was perfect for that. We stayed in a private room for 2 people. Rooms were basic but clean and gave just enough space to be able to move around....”
- Frances United States“It was near Bus Stop#9, the grocery store, & coffee shops. Domino's Pizza and a burger place are across the parking lot. The Sun Voyager and Harpa Concert Hall were only a few minutes walk. The tap water is drinkable. Near the cruise port.”
