Inexpensive accomodations in Iceland

King size beds in each room, shared bathroom, good breakfast, warm and confortable living room to rest after you walked black beaches that are only some 300 meters away

Host super friendly and kind, with a Phone Available at all time. The type of place you need while you visit the region

Several windows were broken, letting in cold air, and in the bedrooms there were only tiny windows with no proper ventilation. Worse still, other guests arrived at 2 a. — well beyond the indicated check-in time of 11 p

Right in the middle of Vik y Myrdal, in front of meeting point of several Tours

It seems the host has no real management or control over the property. It’s a shame, because the beds were actually very comfortable — but sadly, that’s about the only positive thing we can say

The listing promised breakfast included, but all we found were a few eggs and a jar of Nutella left in the kitchen. Definitely not the on-site, prepared breakfast we were led to expect

Guesthouse Húsið was clean, cosy, and very comfortable after long days exploring Iceland. The rooms were well kept and warm, and everything felt thoughtfully arranged. A great base for travelling around the area

The host (Yana I think) was really nice and very helpful. The guesthouse was incredibly clean and all of the food and services were great. Would definately recommend for school/college trips (as we did)

the host and her family were incredibly welcoming and accommodating. the rooms were very clean and sufficient size we had an amazing time and would love to come again, highly recommend

I stayed here as part of a school trip to Iceland two years ago. I really enjoyed my time staying at this guesthouse. The hosts were incredibly friendly and definitely nice people to speak to

We stayed here for one night in the cosy wooden hut. It was comfortably warm, a nice bed for two and a lovely view outside. Clean washroom and nice breakfast in a dining hall

I forgot my backpack in the dining room the morning after our stay, but the staff collected it for me and kept it safe for a couple of days until I was able to collect it

We were able to make use of the jacuzzi on the deck that evening which was just what we needed after a long travel day. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic with a great selection of food and really great coffee

We even had a fun high chair for our son to use which converted to a play car when he was done eating. A great experience all round and a fantastic place to base yourself for a golden circle trip or to visit Reykjavik

Awoke to a great breakfast, made specially for us since we were the only guests that night, and had a nice conversation with him while we ate. The facilities were extremely clean, well equipped, and pretty

We stayed for one night at the very end of our trip and this was a perfect place to wind down and relax. Johan was so friendly and attentive when we arrived and made us feel very at home right away

Johann is a perfect host - accommodating, helpful on travel tips - his place is absolutely gorgeous! Will add more pics later. HIGHLY Recommend in you are anywhere near Selfoss.

Arrived at 130am and the host was as friendly as could be and didn't mind the late arrival. Showed us into this beautiful, wonderfully furnished house, and slept very well

Parking was available on the street and in their own gravel parking lot next to the building. Breakfast was delicious with high quality meats, cheeses, bread, fruit, and other options

Nice view, very clean and cosy, newly renovated in an modern Scandinavian but still traditional way. The landlady is very kind and helpful and serves a delicious breakfast with homemade ingredients

We were very pleased with our stay here. Bed was comfy and room was clean. The shower had nice shampoo and conditioner and the decor was simple but pleasant

It's awesome, gorgeous views, lovely rooms, super host and as for the breakfast it's like a 4 star hotel , and all at guesthouse prices

I sailed from the UK and around Iceland, but damaged mast and pulled in, I was told this was the place to stay

Lovely place to stay. The host was most helpful and very friendly. Great breakfast to see us off.

Peter did everything he could to help me, I got a last minute room with no problems after missing a connecting flight. Peter also offers a shuttle from the airport cheaper than a taxi. Room was clean, tidy and quiet

Best value for the money in Iceland

Nice place to sleep, just 4km from international Airport. Staff was very friendly and helpful

Great place for staying if your flights arrives late or leaves early

Melur Guesthouse is not far from Leboskin café, Akrafjall and Akranes Lighthouse, and is on top of that the cheapest guesthouse in Akranes. Free breakfast and check-out at 12:00

Friendly host and nice comfortable beds. Comes with all the amenities you would expect from a hotel suite (towels, soap, kitchen etc.)

Stay was great! Bed was comfy, rooms very cozy. Located right in Akranes. Would definitely stay again if I come back.

The host, a typical Icelandic, is quite nice though i didn't talk much to him because I was exhausted after a long hike at Akrafjall

The outside is not flashy and teasing but the inside and the rooms are clean, nice and sober

Rooms are clean, two bathrooms are in the house. Rooms are on the floor which is accesible by steep stairs. Beds are okay, but mattress is very soft. One smaller refrigerator is for guests

Don't let the exterior fool you, it is very nice inside

The room was on the small side but it was adequate for our needs, and there was a pleasant shared area where one could sit to read. That area also had a kitchen that guests could use

It miss right out onto the water with mountains behind, making a beautiful view. Also a very short (and scenic) drive into town

It was the quietest room we have stayed in during our vacation here in Iceland. He let us keep our perishables in his refrigerator overnight and was very helpful and accommodating

On our second and third mornings, when the hostess wasn’t as busy with cleaning rooms, she made us cooked eggs. The entire property was clean, and the shower in our private bathroom was more spacious than some we’ve seen

It is built in a refurbished fish cannery, so the exterior is industrial--complete with derelict machinery--but the rooms are delightful. Clean, well-furnished, comfortable, and spacious

Everything was clean und tidy and the stuff was very friendly. They have multiple separate bathrooms with shower and toilet. During Corona Time there were just a few people

In the kitchen you can drink any kind of coffee and tea for free. Ther is also a fright, toaster and microwave accessible. We would recommend this accommodation

Very basic hostel, no oven, no toaster, no freezer, no hotplate in the kitchen. I guess not enough bathrooms in case of fully booked

On the other hand very clean, friendly personal, nice location, the beds are comfortable, the rooms are warm

Probably the cheapest accommodation in whole Iceland and the equipment is accordingly. The rooms consisted of concrete floor, 4 walls, one jacket rack and beds. No table, no chair and nothing else

Took this photo in the lobby on my vacation a few months ago. Tried to figure it out who it was. Took me a minute but that's Eddie Sparks. The guy who found anonymous in the US

Hotel was nice with the bar and outside area with roof access too

This is fine though, since you get what you pay for. The comon area is spacious and the kitchen has everything that you need for simple meals. Also the location is decent and only a 15 minute walk from the walking street

its big. the nights we were there the kitchen area turned into a lot of fun. A bunch of people trying to cook in, and have a few drinks to save money turned into a big group out on the town.

Free parking is available and the keyless door system works well :)

I am really sad that it is temporarily closed because it is an awesome place to stay: from the unique pod feature (which is super safe and cool - and trust me you won't feel claustrophobic), great location, awesome staff, all the way to a cool wall feature with all the guests' signature on it

I've made friends and nice memories and I hope it will reopen soon so others can enjoy this place too

We tried it because the pods looked fun and a bit more private than a typical hostel. There were more than enough toilets for the amount of guests, and they seemed to be very clean

The pods did not seem to lock at all but would still recommend for the experience

I have booked this pod for my trip in Reykjavik in 2019

I appreciate they sell some snacks, so you don't have to go out if you are just a bit hungry and have no food. The reception has nice couches and a great view

Honestly the best hostel I have ever stayed anywhere in the world. Did not have opportunity to try other hostels in Iceland, but there is no way to go wrong with this one. Very short drive from the main 1 road

There's also a 'Used gas basket' (which I haven't seen anywhere else and I loved the idea of sharing among travellers) for partially used gas bottles (you can take them if you need them for camping or you can leave yours there for others to use)

Great place to stay for a small group. Not the best location, but not a big deal for the price. Rooms were clean and well kept. Kitchen was also clean. McDonald’s burger no longer there though!

You can choose a room for yourself or you can stay with other guests in a shared room (which is a bit cheaper). The prices are all affordable

The kitchen is above average too, it has induction plates, which is a first on my Iceland round-trip. You even get a selection of free sauces there. Check in time is until 22:00 and check out at 10:00

We came to view Icelands last McDonald’s sold they have on display and it was closed. We were told by a stranger that this place only opens for large groups and you have to call ahead. Snotra house? Snotopen house!

A very cozy and beautiful place, owned by a nice and welcoming couple ! Don't forget to get upstairs , just for the view ! Takk fyryr vinurminn 🙏 Ps : get a fish soup and a kaffi down there and check the beautiful theater !

We had a wonderful three days in the area around Hostel Gimli in Dalvik and enjoyed the warm welcome and homely atmosphere. The fish soup is truly legendary, and it's served in a lovely tavern, well worth a visit

5 stars just because it's not possible to put 6 or 7. The owner Bjarni was very comprehensive with me and accepted to host me even if it was a closure day. The room was clean, welcoming and warm

Visited to escape from the rain on my camping trip. Lovely host, and rooms hot water, WiFi and all facilities were ideal. I slept well in my single room and enjoyed my stay here

Great location. Beautiful view. Nice host who is helpful. Information brochures and many maps of the area are available at the property. Clean and pleasant! Highly recommended!

Gunnarsson, is very helpful and quickly came to our aid when we locked ourselves out or forgot our backpacks. Thanks so much for that, and also for all the tips

Cleanliness wasn't perfect both in the room and in the common kitchen (the oven was so dirty it has smoked and triggered the fire alarm during use)

During our one night stay we haven't met any staff member, even the direct phone at the door wasn't working

The room was large, cosy and nicely furbished; we haven't overheard any other rooms, neighbours

This hostel was much better than I thought it would be and for the price it's a really good value. Whoever is in charge of cleaning they honestly need a raise! You could literally eat on the floor

The room and the toilets were absolutely sparkling. From what I saw it has 2 toilets with shower and an extra bathroom with 3 more toilets, I never had to wait to use any of them

The dormitory and the bathrooms were super clean and the shared kitchen was great and very useful ! And there were a lot of chickens, ducks, horses, dogs and a cat : so nice to watch them and play with the dogs !

The dorms have lots of room for your bags, shared bathrooms are kept clean and the kitchen is well equipped. The private rooms are especially large, great views, comfy couch and plenty of space to do some yoga

They sell eggs from their chickens that roam their property, and beautiful Iceland wool hats. The folks who run it try hard to oblige their guests, going beyond to make a memorable stay

The tiles with Spanish folklore in them made me laugh as I'm from Spain and it was so random. Thank you for making our 2 days in Vik so comfortable, we felt right at home

I have never stayed in a hostel before this one. I found it clean, and hospitable. The owner Beggi was not there when we needed to check in but was easily reached by phone and there in 2 minutes

We had a two beds private room. The room was decent. The shared bathrooms were very clean. They have a small little stove and we were able to cook our dinner. The staffs were very friendly.

Very friendly staff. Accommodated our very late check in due to a delayed ferry. Comfortable beds, hot showers, and clean bathrooms. Very reasonable price. Would stay here again.

Very cute European style hostel. The owners were very friendly and excited to chat about their recommendations of places to visit. This hostel has a very cosy feel

On the way up, she told us stories about the island and her experiences living there. Overall, we had a very positive experience and would highly recommend it

We were going hiking to Stórhöfði, and one of the owners was nice enough to drive us to the top so that we could enjoy the walk back downhill

Very clean facilities, and has a kitchen and fridge that every guest is free to use. Highly recommend staying here, especially for anyone on a budget

And rooms are very bright and muggy in the evening. It was one of the cheaper options so I guess you get what you pay for, but there are no common areas so people tend to hang out and be loud in the sleeping area

Wouldn't stay again, and I am a budget traveler

Because of this wonderfully welcoming atmosphere making friends and getting to know people. I'd recommended this hostel to anyone. It is spotlessly clean, accessible, and in a great location

This is one of the friendliest places I've ever stayed. The owners work hard to ensure that everyone feels welcome and give some excellent travel advice for exploring Iceland

Located in downtown Reykjavik, this little hostel still offers you a quiet environment for your stay. The owners are nice and friendly and also very caring about you

We changed our plans to stay on Reykjanes peninsula in our camper due to high winds the night before our flight home, stayed at lava instead for shelter. Really great campsite, good toilets showers washing machine

Great affordable hostel in a beautiful city with a very nice host. There is a shared kitchen and a washing machine which is handy. There is also a food-share shelf where you can take leftover food from previous travelers

The staff was just super friendly and helpful. Campsite and hostel are very clean. And everything was inclusive like washing machine, showers etc. had a great stay!! Clean and nice 👍🏼

Super friendly staff, great kitchen with fridge, stoves, oven and common kitchen equipment, four showers. The rooms are great and there is a lot of space in the common areas.

Alexander, the manager, is incredibly helpful and a constant ray of sunshine in the hostel. The hostel is clean and well kept. Highly recommended staying here.

A grocery store is close and there is a fridge you can use when labeling your food. The place has a piano, plenty of tables and chairs and even a few couches

The staff members were all very helpful, and generally friendly. The only downside is that its far away from downtown Reykjavik, but the city bus is cheap (about $4 or 400 ISK) and easy to navigate with the app

Vibrant Iceland Hostel is a cheap, but still valuable, hostel just right at the gates of Reykjavik (10 minutes driving from the very inner city)

Wonderful hostel to stay in, the beds allow for a lot of privacy and darkness (especially in the summer!) The kitchen is fully equipped and the free coffee was a really nice bonus! The best part about this hostel was the cleanliness, and the large showers

The location is nearby to some of the supermarkets, but we bought most of our stuff at the supermarkets that were nearer to the International airport

The hostel is somewhat self-reliant. The beds were simple and comfortable and the toilets were spacious, clean and offers hot water

Overall, it was a good and affordable stay for short-term stays near the city, provided you have a rented car with you
