Um fyrirtækið

KEX is a hostel and hotel housed in an old biscuit factory in downtown Reykjavik, at Skúlagata 28. The building was discovered abandoned in 2011 by a businessman and a set designer, who bought it and turned it into a place where travellers and locals could gather. It has been fully renovated in 2025 and is furnished with salvaged materials and found objects, giving it a vintage industrial feel with an eclectic, contemporary touch. Guests can choose from hostel dorms and private rooms, or private hotel rooms with their own bathrooms. The hostel side offers double and twin rooms with shared bathrooms, family rooms, and mixed-gender dorms ranging from 4 to 42 beds, each with lockers, reading lights and charging plugs. The hotel side offers Classic Double, Compact Double, Deluxe, Superior and Family Suite rooms with private bathrooms and TVs. Beyond rooms, KEX has a bar, a lounge area, a tourist information desk, a 24/7 reception, guest kitchens, laundry facilities, free WiFi, and a patio. Breakfast is served at BAXTUR. The restaurant is currently closed for renovation with a planned reopening in summer 2025. KEX also acts as a base for booking day trips and activities such as the Golden Circle, South Coast and Glacier Hike, Glacier Lagoon, and Snæfellsnes Peninsula tours, and provides a Tourdesk for guests to book excursions.
