    Separated by 2 crossable roads from the Alantic Ocean, you can take a walk along the ocean coastline if weather permits. And if the condition is right, you can sight aurora over the ocean at night. There is also a Domino and Aktu Taktu burger take away joint nearby. Reception staff is approachable and helpful. Staff is also knowledgeable to provide recommendations if you need. It's a hostel and hotel setup. Hence, there are common facilities like microwave, stove, fridge that hotel guests can also use. You also get to hear guests playing the piano as they come down to chill in the bar area.

    I've booked Kex Hostel for 3 nites prior to my arrival just in case there were better bargains later. But after staying there for 3 nites, I decided to extend another 4 nites and an additional 4 nites due to the strategic location in Reykjavik town and walking distance to the Bus stop where we had to meet-up for our tour pick-up! Moreover, it was the Best budgeted price compared to the rest which had many problems. The 4 Female Bunks I've stayed throughout was comfy and clean. There were sockets to charge your handphone next to your bed and a curtain for privacy. Also there were lockers in the room but U need to bring your own padlock. The rooms were cleaned daily, mopped and changed sheets for the next person. What I like is the hot shower 🚿 after check-in and completed a day's tour. The water pressure was good. No clogging in the bathroom. Shower gel, toilet paper & paper hand towel were provided and the toilets were cleaned daily. There were many bathrooms/toilets so U don't have to queue for your turn. The communal kitchen is Huge, fully equipped with a boiler, lots of kitchen utensils that practically fits everything that u need for your stay. There were 3 mini fridges to stow your stuff and a common sofa area for all to relax. Kex was formally a biscuit factory and the interior looked pretty scary at first wt all the old female & male portraits on the walls when I checked-in but after a few days, I got used to all the portraits staring at me even in the toilets! 🫣 The receptionist, Kate & Philip were very friendly & helpful together wt the rest of the staff. There's also a bar next to the reception counter and towards the weekend, many youngsters would congregate in Kex Hostel & Hotel for some music party. Overall, it was a safe hostel/hotel for solo travelers & family as well.
