I have stayed in many hostels and this was one of my favorite by far. It is quiet and comfortable and clean as well as affordable.
Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025

It's a nice, clean hostel in a decent location. The beds are comfortable and it has good kitchen and washroom facilities. Self check-in is convenient and cafe staff (who double as hostel staff) are helpful when needed, but the separation of hostel and cafe makes for a somewhat impersonal experience. As for location, there are a few attractions nearby (municipal swimming pool/hot tubs, botanical garden, and oceanfront walk), as well as basic amenities (small grocery store, bakery, etc.). But it's a long walk from old town Reykjavik, where most of the restaurants and cafes are. Overall, Laekur provides a good and affordable base for exploring Reykjavik, but next time I would probably stay closer to old town.

Perfect 1-night stay here. The staff who checked me in were absolutely lovely, the kitchen has what you need, the bed was super comfortable with darkening blinds on the windows, great shower, and great location. As long as you're okay with a hostel, 10/10 would recommend in Reykjavik.

Very clean and quiet hostel. Location is a 25-minute walk to the downtown area, but there is lots to do in the west that is more locals-oriented. The public pool is about a 6 minute walk away, and there's a fantastic bakery around the corner from the hostel.

Good location near several good foot paths along the coast. At 4 AM the fire alarm started blazing waking everyone up with no apparent trigger.

This is actually my first time staying in a hostel. Checkin was easy enough, in the restaurant downstairs. There's no keys to the rooms (keypads with a code) so for checkout I just left. The spiral staircase to get to the rooms is a real pain if you have heavy bags or have limited mobility. I stayed in a 6-person female dorm with bunkbeds. Every bunk has a dedicated outlet and lamp. In early June the clientele seemed to be mostly younger people but I didnt hear anyone being rowdy during typical sleep hours. The communal kitchen needs more frequent cleanings. There are several showers and toilets so there was no line to bathe. You can feasibly walk to downtown Reykjavik from this location. There is ONLY street parking so you need to find a spot and stick to it. There's a bus stop across the street BUT the Klappid app is broken (at least for Americans). You need to find a convenience store to buy a pass if you want to ride the bus. This was a good first impression for staying in a hostel
