Set a 10-minute drive from Jökulsárlón Glacier, this farm hostel offers rooms with free Wi-Fi and mountain views. Iceland’s Ring Road is right next to the property.

Guest rooms at Skyrhusid HI Hostel have an in-room wash basin. All have access to shared bathroom facilities. Bed linen and towels are included.

The owner of Skyrhusid was one of the highlights of our trip. He made cake for everyone staying there. Gave us some Skyr on the house. He was a delight, and the facilities were awesome as well. When we come back to Iceland I definitely will stop here

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This hostel is perfect. It is warm and inviting and the host is super friendly and helpful. The rooms are stylish and comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the free coffee, juice and cake are must welcome. I honestly could not recommend this more highly and I will return.

    The hostel is located in a very small village (few buildings), where there are also two restaurants. The room was good, the shared bathrooms were good, and the staff was very helpful and nice. It is a very good solution in such area. I recommend it.

    The easiness of the welcoming/check-in. We informed we would arrive late and there was no problem at all. The hostel is super cozy, beautifully decorated, with some free food and coffee. Also, the location is amazing, 10/15 minutes away from the glacier lagoon

    The location is good for joining tours from “Glacier Adventure” and you will get a discount from the Hostel. Moreover, you might see the Aurora light if you’re lucky enough. Furthermore, the WiFi network was strong. Also, you will meet different people around the world. If you forgot to buy some food before your arrival, 1. the hostel had a shelf in the shared kitchen which sells food; 2. there was a restaurant nearby. At last, feel free to enjoy the welcome cake and drinks.

    A lot of positives for this hostel! Communication prior to check in was quick and clear. The hostel is extremely clean (including shared bathrooms) and well kept. We got to enjoy free welcome cake, orange juice, skyr and milk, as well as unlimited coffee and tea. The beds were super comfortable and rooms were cozy (which is key in the Islandia winter). Finally, because this hostel is located in a “remote” location, we had the privilege of catching the northern lights at 3am!
