Kanslarinn Hostel

Spacious and lovely rural outlook

This was the first place Mom and I stayed during our trip in Iceland. We had had a long day before that (landing, exploring Reykjavik, and soaking in some mud baths), so by the time we made it to the hostel, we were pooped. The staff were incredibly friendly and the check in was easy. Mom wasn’t super familiar with shared bathrooms, but thought the shared shower was excellent. We also didn’t hear any of our room neighbors. Best of all, though, was the breakfast in the morning. It was hearty and included everything from fried eggs to bacon to Icelandic yogurt and fruit. We loved being able to fill out bellies before heading out for the day, and so would highly recommend!

good location along the ring road, functional space with two shared bathrooms for 4 room all the guests were super clean so we had no problem with sharing facilities

the room was functional

The room was spacious and clean, and having a sink in the room was convenient. Breakfast was included at the restaurant next door, with oat milk, beans, vegetables, and canned fruit available as vegan options.

Our room was in the older part of the property, which we only learned when we arrived to check in. There was just one shared shower and no shared kitchen or fridge.
