*8.5* Laugardalslaug Swimming Pool: only 3 minutes away! (800 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for Reykjavík City HI Hostel – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

It’s a standard hostel. Good price for Reykjavík. Located about a 40 min walk from the center (7 min drive). Bed was comfortable. Parking was easy.

Tyler, United States of America

Close to really great public pool and hot dog stand.

Nick, United States of America

Rodrigo, the staff member at Loft hostel was amazing, super helpful and friendly! ☆☆☆☆☆

Reich, Mexico

Great distance from downtown Reykjavik provided you have a car. However I’m 6’5” and I fit fairly well (length wise) in bed which was a nice surprise. If you’re just looking for a place to rest your head then most definitely choose this spot.

Renne, United States of America

It’s a 40 minute walk from the city center. Ideal for solo travellers. There’s a kitchen out back and they supply plenty of board games. Big common area to sit around. They have a notice board in the lobby with events in the hostel and city center. Room was a nice size, warm and each bed has its own light and plug.

Solo, Ireland

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the building was very pleasant and clean. With a rental car, it was easy to get around Rekjavik from the hostel, and being around the corner from Laugardalslaug pool was fantastic.

Janet, Canada

Even though it's not in the city centre, I like the location. It's very quiet and clean. The staff is very helpful. I've stayed here once before and I will likely keep coming back when I visit Iceland.

Stephanie, United States of America

Excellent location, service, view, everything! Very much worth the price. Munir at the front desk was very nice and was able to accommodate all your needs.

Alejandro, United States of America

Good place to stay in Reykjavik if you're on a budget. (We had a room with private bathroom) Tho it is still noisy. Not the hotel itself, but some of the guests. I guess it is still a hostel so it depends on your neighbors.. But the room in itself was basic/functional but great - great heaters, shower (no shower products but hair dryer avail.),

Justine, United States of America

Beds were comfy. Staff was helpful and polite. The private bath was great and the rooms were very clean!

The extra costs for breakfast and transportation made it almost as expensive as a hostel in the city center. Some of the staff were kind of rude.

The shared kitchen sometimes has been left not at high standard of cleanliness by the other guests, but it was great to have the possibility to prepare some meals at the hostel. Generally good.
we were three friends sharing a room for six to have the ensuite bathroom included. Plenty space into an amazing hostel, great value for money. Good location not far from the city centre and with free parking included.

Good position and free parking. It's perfect if you rented a car. A bit more stressful if you have to reach the city center by bus.

The kitchen on one side of the building didn’t have much kitchenware/pots. I think there were only 2 and a group took them and instead of serving in plates and leave the pots for others, they left in the common room with them... had to go cook on the total opposite of the building.
4 bed dorm with ensuite is perfect. Kitchen on each side of the building. Wide area. Many parking spots
