Location

The property is approximately 50 km from Reykjavik Domestic Airport (RKV), making it accessible for travelers flying into Iceland. While the town itself is small and has limited dining options that close early, the nearby town of Selfoss is a 10-minute drive away and offers more restaurants. The hostel is also a convenient base for visiting major Icelandic attractions such as the Golden Circle and southern coast, with many natural sites reachable within a two-hour drive.
