Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location for Gullfoss and Geysir. Fabulous opportunity to see the Northern lights - it helps that the staff let you know when they appear - we would have missed them otherwise. Wonderful dinner. Friendly staff
