About the accommodation

KEX. It's the Icelandic word for 'biscuit' and a social hostel in Reykjavik. What's not to love? Housed in an old biscuit factory in the heart of Reykjavik, KEX is just steps from all the bars, clubs, and music venues that give this city its legendary reputation. It's also a painless distance from late-night munchies and a mind-boggling array of coffee houses, shops, and tourist attractions. Of course, you might not even want to venture outside of the hostel with all its features, including a café and bar, lounge area, heated outdoor patio, tourist information desk, laundry room and free Wi-Fi. Please note that linen is not included in the 8, 10 and 16 bed dorms. You're free to bring your own sleeping bag or duvet. In addition to our dormitory bedrooms we offer three different double bedrooms. The Double Plus has one double bed, a private bathroom, linens and towels and a fantastic seaside view. The Double Standard has one double bed (of the most clever convertible design in case you get tired of being so close to your travel partner), shared bathrooms, linens and towels and - if you are lucky - the same fantastic view. The Twin Private has two single beds, linens and towels and a better-than-average chance of making your friends back home quite jealous indeed. Ladies - for your comfort and peace-of-mind, we offer female-only dorms. If you would prefer to reserve a bed in such a dorm, please make sure to do so directly from the booking window. If none are available, you are welcome to contact us after booking to double-check. Families - a few of our four- and six-bed dorms can be used as family bedrooms. They include a bunk bed and a double bed. Baby cribs are also available to families traveling with a diaper bag. Please be sure to contact us after booking in order to arrange for this type of room. Space is limited, and family bedrooms are reserved on a first-come basis. Two guest kitchenettes and private laundry facilities are also available. And with a variety of

What do guests have to say about Kex Hostel?

Kex Hostel offers clean and cozy rooms with a 24/7 reception and friendly staff. It's centrally located just minutes from downtown. Some areas for improvement include noise from bar parties and maintenance issues, such as lockers that don't lock properly. Despite the renovations, it's still a good budget-friendly and convenient option, especially for active travellers. Recommended for those looking for a simple and affordable stay in Reykjavik.

No need to worry
I was a bit worried at the start because much lower rates than competition and a tiny advance to secure the booking was a bit suspicous to me. I also did not know anybody who used amimir. At the end of the day I got a really nice hotel for a great price with no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend the website and I will use it again.

Works like an oiled machine
I've booked via Amimir so many times already and it works so smooth every time! The prices are usually much lower than on other sites. Also there is often a free cancelation option and simple payment program. Highly recommended!

NON valid rate for booked hotel
Booked hotel ( ID: 7642798 ) , got confirmation ( and meanwhile booked the flight to destination ) but 24 hours later got message from Amimir saying that booking is cancelled due to incorrect rates at homepage. They required an extra Eur 1500 for us to stay at hotel. Amimir refer to Point 10. Prices and Taxes in conditions ( and for sure they are correct but I didn't think I should have to read all conditions ) “AMIMIR.com may decline any type of contractual liability in case of typographical, location or numerical errors in its offers that involve a manifest and obvious error that could not go unnoticed by the average user. This exoneration of responsibility will only operate on those errors in respect of which AMIMIR.com would have proceeded with the diligence and immediacy required for its correction, communicating such situation to the client in a fast manner and reintegrating it, in its case, the amounts that would have been satisfied by himself.” SO HEADS UP WHEN YOU BOOK !

Efficiency, clarity, and genuine quality...
An absolutely outstanding booking experience from start to finish. The website is clear, easy to navigate, and packed with great deals at very competitive prices. The wide range of offers and flexible payment options make planning a trip both simple and affordable. What impressed me most was the excellent communication and customer service — fast, friendly, and truly reliable. Amimir delivers exactly what travelers hope for: efficiency, clarity, and genuine quality.

Stay far away from this service…
Stay far away from this service as possible. I searched google maps for hotels and I ended up selecting a hotel that Amimir was partners with. The price was enticing. After paying with google pay, the day before my trip, they send me an email stating that their compliance department needed me to upload an image of my credit card and passport, otherwise they were going to keep my money and cancel the reservation. I've never had to upload such documents ever with any online travel sites. This felt like a scam. So I called my credit card company and they advised me not to upload personal data and image of my credit card. In addition, I asked Chatgpt and the response was alarming. It said that it most certainly is a scam. I have a feeling that even if I complied and shared my personal data, they would have rejected it like many others that have reported the same experience here. They create a sense of urgency by presenting the issue the day before the trip. Seems like a pattern based on what I've read. It's very surprising that they are still in business and that the authorities have not shut them down. My credit card company said that they will stand behind me 100% to dispute the charges.

I give this site a big fat zero
I give this site a big fat zero I was searching for a hotel and I came across magnificent Mile downtown Chicago. I picked the dates 29th 30th 31st and the price came out to $39. Once I paid my money to book the stay they send me confirmation and at bottom it say you will have to pay $245.89 for a resort fee wtf you mean a resort fee that wasn't started before I paid my money

Excellent
Very easy and clear process to book an hotel in Rome. I found the cheapest option here compared to other booking platforms. It was very clear that there were tourist taxes to be paid directly to the hotel while it wasn't that clear on other booking platforms. Excellent experience overall.

Firstly, I was concerned because I’ve never booked with this site but as it appeared later that was unnecessary. Everything went well, great experience!
