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.

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.

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.

Je recommande pour voyageurs toujours jeunes ...

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 😀
