Reykjavík - Loft HI Hostel

Voted by our guests as Best HI Hostel and Best Hostel in Iceland, Loft is right in the heart of Reykjavik. The central location makes it perfect for seeing what this quirky city is all about, with all the sights a few minute's walk away. For those needing adventure further afield, the bus stop for excursions is just around the corner. Loft is popular with locals and tourists alike for its rooftop terrace and bar, an excellent suntrap on those rare sunny days. Happy hour is everyday from 3 -7 pm, and Wine Wednesday gives you 20% off wine the whole day.

Loft Event Calender offers live music, food pop-ups, karaoke nights, pub quizzes, and many more. Check the Facebook page out to see what is going on during your stay.
