Good for backpacker”
The hostel is divided into 2 floor: Bar restaurant a living area and floor for bedroom shower kitchen WC. I like the spacious area for hanging all around the place. I would like to suggest the hostel to provide more lockers and facilities for dressup in shower room. Overall a good bargain

It's a decent hostel but cleaning can be improved ”
There was one day, Saturday where the kitchen and toilets were not cleaned and filthy. And not the fault of the staff but there's are very inconsiderate guests who DO NOT clean up after themselves. It makes an unpleasant experience for everyone. Showers wise, 3rd floor showers are more communal (5 showers together separated by nothing??) 4th floor have more privacy. Overall, it's good, near supermarket, easy pickup for tours. There's also a fast food restaurant right outside too.

Best Hostel!”
I absolutely loved my stay in kex hoste! People were amazing, staff was great. The coolest thing about this hostel is the live music at the bar downstairs. It had a great atmosphere and is walking to distance to all the bars and clubs in Reykjavík. I hope to return again!

great value for money”
The Wi-fi didn't work in the room and often even in the common room, but except that, I highly recommend this property for especially backpackers.

God beds and effort to clean the facilities”
Kex was better than I exspected, good beds and they did a grate attemp to keep the place clean, ecpecilly at bath and kitchen. However, not all guest apply with the rule to clean up after Them selfs and to be silent when other guest slept. Guys in a group at my room behave undiciplined like Friday night in town, and gave a shit about others. Ofcause they were annoid when I draw the curtain 9 o'clock next morning for packing. I was pay back time... I was disappointed about check out. I checked in at 3 o'clock a.m. and leaved the room and delivered the accesscard 11 o'clock on the departure day, but was not allowed to stay in the building for making lunch before leaving 2 o'clock. I went in anyway...

Watch-out for Bad Service at Kex Hostel!”
I booked with Agoda for a single room, with no other roommates. When I got to KEX Hostel late at night the staff said that he only shows on the computer to place you in a dorm room, even though I showed him proof of my booking with Agoda for a single room. He stuck me in a Dorm room. Terrible way to treat customers that show proof of the correct booking!
