Keflavik hostels

Booking a hostel in Keflavik presents several advantages over booking a hotel in the area. The biggest advantage of booking a local hostel is the lower price. There is plenty to explore in Keflavik, including stunning natural attractions like the hot spring area and the Blue Lagoon, and staying in a hostel will help you stretch your budget a few extra days to see the sights.

The two hostels in Keflavik are both located close to the Keflavik International Airport for convenience and for easy transfers before and after your stay. These hostels, in addition to being adjacent to the airport, are also close to the best attractions in the city, like Viking World and the oceanfront.

One important thing to note about booking a hostel in Keflavik is that you’ll most likely have to rent a car to get from your hostel to the major attractions in the city. There are cabs available, but if you plan to explore the entire area, constant taxi rides will add up quickly and will cost you more than a rental.

This hostel accommodates groups of travelers by offering flexible accommodation options, like triple and quadruple rooms. This hostel also features a large shared kitchen and spacious common areas where you and your party can relax after a day of sightseeing.

If you’re traveling on your own, Hostel Base by Keflavik Airport might be a better option. This hostel houses plenty of recreation areas and a bar on the first floor to keep you occupied and entertained throughout your stay. This hostel has also partnered with local touring companies to offer several local tours to the neighboring Reykjanes Circle and Golden Circle areas, and the touring companies can pick you up directly from the hostel.
