The Fox Hostel is a very clean, clear and relaxing space. You should be aware there are many guests in one room but that being said, the spaces are well shared between all people and we can get some intimicy without any issue.

This is a family-run hostel located near Vatnajökull National Park. The layout of the hostel is very well planned out, with many private bathrooms, showers, and beds that allow for a very comfortable stay. My husband and I were especially impressed with the quality of the kitchen and dining space, because it allowed for multiple groups to cook at the same time in their own space, and the kitchen was very well equipped with all the items that one would need to cook a proper meal.

Best hostel ever stayed in!

I normally avoid hostels but I appreciated my stay here. The rooms were clean, the beds were made, loved the fact that luggage stays in the hallway because it limits the noise inside the rooms for those who are sleeping. Lockers are offered to keep your belongings safe. I was nervous about staying the night as when I first walked in, it was very loud with the amount of people by the reception desk. I could barely hear the receptionist talking to me when checking in. I was worried the noise would be carried into the rooms if people were to continue chatting in the lobby but the hostel implements quiet hours so to not disturb other guests. The bathrooms were clean, kitchen was massive. Many stations for multiple groups to cook. Felt nice interacting with different people after solo traveling the entire day. Also liked the fact that shoes had to been taken off by the front door so mud and dirt wouldn't be spread to the rest of the hostel and had a nice large coat rack to hang all wet clothes. The best hostel ever stayed in. Definitely recommend booking.

The staff were friendly, and the bed was comfortable and cozy. There were plenty of restrooms and showers, so it was very convenient to use. Everything was well maintained, clean, and both the hot and cold water pressure in the showers were excellent. The kitchen on the second floor was also well equipped with enough appliances and utensils, so even when there were many people, it didn’t feel inconvenient. However, since many guests were grilling meat, the ventilation felt a bit weak at times. The storage lockers seemed a bit limited, but it wasn’t a big issue since we kept larger items in our car. The location was perfect, the surroundings were beautiful, and I would love to stay here again.

Accueil tres chaleureux par le couple de gérant. Situation de l'auberge à l'écart de la circulation. Aménagement moderne du bâtiment. Ambiance chaleureuse et amicale. De belles installations pratiques pour cuisiner. Douches et wc propres . Dortoirs fonctionnels. Avons pu prolonger d'une nuitée 😀

Super hostel

Super Hostel, genre 'capsule' avec des dortoirs de lits doubles assez minimalistes mais confortables. Tout est neuf, une fois couché on n'entend pas le bruit dans le couloir. Grande cuisine super pratique à l'étage et toute équipée. Nous sommes restés une deuxième nuit!

Ottimo ostello di recente apertura, quindi super organizzato e con tutto il necessario. Camerate da 8 letti matrimoniali (16 persone totali possono starci, ma tendono a distribuire gli ospiti nelle varie stanze se c’è meno gente). Cucina grande e con quasi tutto il necessario per cucinare, tra cui anche forni (con carta da forno), macchina per caffè americano, microonde, bollitore, stoviglie e utensili vari… insomma, tanta roba. Bagni spaziosi (docce e wc in stanze separate) e ben tenuti. Staff disponibile e cordiale. Super consigliato e sicuramente da ritornarci
