    I can't recommend Kex enough to anyone who wants to make Reykjavik their base to explore Iceland. It was my home for 5 nights and turned out to be the best decision I could have made. Fabulous location, lovely facilities, made some great friends, both hostel mates and locals at the bar, and the highlight was the warm and helpful service. Definitely staying here again on my next visit.
