Terrible experience. My husband and I were bitten by bedbugs during our stay at this hostel. I highly recommend choosing another place to sleep.

Vibe Analysis
Hostel Fjordur is a practical self check-in base in Hafnarfjordur, with door-code access that makes late arrivals and early airport runs fairly painless. It works best as a clean, low-fuss stop between Keflavik Airport and Reykjavik, especially for a first or final night in Iceland. The kitchens are the strongest feature: they are usually well equipped for real cooking, with basics like a kettle, fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, oven, and even an air fryer. Shared bathrooms and toilets are generally plentiful, and laundry may be available in parts of the building. This is more functional guesthouse energy than social hostel chaos. The setup is remote, simple, and budget-minded, with parking nearby or on site and Hafnarfjordur's harbor, restaurants, shops, and local sights within reach.
Signals to check
- Rooms can be small, and double beds may feel too tight for two people.
- Curtains or blinds may let in a lot of summer night light.
- Sound insulation can be weak, especially near doors, hallways, bathrooms, or street-level rooms.
- Kitchen space can feel cramped when the building is busy.
- Bathroom cleanliness and shower drainage seem inconsistent.
