Kex Reykjavik - A social hostel in a converted biscuit factory with ocean views, onsite dining, and live music events
Housed in a former biscuit factory, Kex Reykjavik blends vintage industrial design with eclectic touches, offering dormitory-style accommodations and private rooms with ocean and mountain views. The hostel features a bar, restaurant, lounge-library with Icelandic sagas, and Gym & Tonic, a multifunctional space for events, workouts, and film screenings. Breakfast at Baxtur includes porridge, hot drinks, and juices for 1700 ISK, while Drinx Bar serves local craft beers and cocktails with live music from Thursday to Saturday. The seasonal menu at Flatus offers dishes like fish and chips, lamb, burgers, and vegetarian options.
