Great hostel in a great location. Dalur was an easy drive from KEF. Self checkin was efficient and facilities are clean and charming (in that hostel kind-of-way). Nice walking trails to the botanical garden just outside the back door, and there's an awesome swimming complex next door. Facility is several kilometers from downtown so limited restaurant options within walking distance. Would happily stay there again.
*Dalur HI Eco Hostel – solid eco stay! ★★★★★* Loved our stay at Dalur. It’s clean, cozy, and the whole eco vibe is legit — great recycling, low waste, and they actually care about sustainability. Dorms and bathrooms were spotless. Beds comfy with thick curtains for privacy + blocking summer light. Kitchen is well equipped and super clean, which is rare for hostels. Easy to cook and meet other travelers. Staff were super friendly and helpful with hiking/bus tips. Common area has great atmosphere without being party-chaos. Perfect if you want affordable, comfortable, and green. Would stay again. We had booked 4 bed room with private bathroom directly from their site.
I stayed at both the campsite and the hostel during my 2 visits and they both went very well. The campsite has all the facilities you need and more and I had no issue with the pin code system they use to let you in. Just make sure you book the campsite in advance. My stays at the hostel were also very good. The breakfast is plentiful, the beds were comfortable, the staff very nice to deal with and the atmosphere there is great. There's also a happy hour too!
Everything was of good quality. Rooms, kitchen and corridors are well cleaned and maintained. Kitchens and shared bathrooms do become a source to meet new people and make friends. Everything about the hostel seems pretty good to me. Thank you.
We booked a room for two persons and had a beautiful and enjoyable stay. The kitchenware was sufficient and well-equipped, and the people there were very kind and welcoming. Highly recommended!
