For many years, one of HI Iceland main ambitions has been to reduce

the impact their guests have on the environment.

The organization has, over the years, received a lot of attention for its

work in sustainability and along with the Reykjavík hostels, received

the following acknowledgements.

2010 The Reykjavík Hostels; Reykjavík City Hostel and Reykjavík Downtown Hostel, received the environmental recognition of the Ministry for the Environment.

2010 The Reykjavík Hostels, Reykjavík City and Reykjavík Downtown, receive the Icelandic Tourist Board Environmental Award 2010.

2010 The Reykjavík Downtown Hostel was successfully certified as HI Quality Hostel. This Certificate is an official recognition by Hostelling International, of excellence in provision of service and hospitality.

2010 Reykjavik Downtown Hostel got certificated by the Nordic Ecolabel, The Swan. The Swan is the official Ecolabel of the Nordic countries and stands for running a successful Environmental Quality System.

2005 The Reykjavík City Hostel was successfully certified as HI Quality Hostel. Reykjavik City Hostel became one of the first 12 Hostels around the World to receive this certification of Quality.

2004 Reykjavik City Hostel got certificated by the Nordic Ecolabel, The Swan.

2003 HI Iceland receives the Icelandic Tourist Board Environmental Award 2003.

2002 Reykjavík City Hostel received the City of Reykjavík Environmental Award for its contribution to environmental program.

Hostelling International Iceland have their own internal policy

which actively encourages high standards of ecological and environ-

mental practice in all their hostels. Those hostels that meet these

additional high standards are awarded the privilege of being called a

Green Hostel allowing them to display an environmental logo in the

brochure; there are currently ten such hostels in Iceland.

Welcome to the Hostelling International Iceland hostels (HI

Hostels). There are currently 35 hostels located all around the

country. HI Hostels are open to people of all ages. They offer

budget accommodation in a clean and comfortable lodging with

opportunity for self service, so travellers can keep travelling costs

at a minimum. No two hostels are alike. You can choose from

new hostels with modern facilities and old, charmingly renovated

hostels. But they have one thing in common: when you stay at an

HI Hostel you can always be sure of friendly and helpful service

from our staff. Hostels are ideal places to stay for individuals,

families and groups. Hostelling International Iceland is a part of

Hostelling International, which has more than 4000 hostels in 90

countries worldwide and 37 million overnights per year.

Accommodation

Accommodation is mostly in 2 – 6 bedded rooms and all HI

Hostels offer double and family rooms. There are duvets and

pillows in the beds so guests need only to bring their own bed

linen or rent it at the hostel. Guests can also use a sleeping bag if

they prefer. When staying at an HI Hostel you should bring your

own towels and soap.

Meals–Guest kitchens

All Icelandic HI Hostels have well equipped guest kitchens where

our guests may cook their own meals, without extra payment.

Most of the hostels serve breakfast and some of them also offer

dinner, lunch and packed lunch. Dinner and lunch needs to be

ordered in advance.

Activities

Hostels are more then just places to sleep. All Icelandic HI Hostels

offer their guests a variety of exciting activities at the hostels or

in the neighbourhood. Among the activities are rafting, angling,

swimming, hiking, riding, and glacier tours.

Bookings

You can turn up at a hostel without reservation but it is best

to book ahead. If double rooms are required bookings need to

be made in advance. Families who want to use a family room

and groups should also always book in advance. For booking or

further information, please contact either the hostels directly or

the office of Hostelling International Iceland, which is the central

booking office for all HI Hostels in Iceland. Reservations can be

made by email, fax or mail.

Travel Service

When it comes to planning and arranging your trip to Iceland we

would highly recommend our most popular package: combining

a rental car with accommodation at hostels. This combo is

both convenient and comes at a very good price! Our friendly

staff at the travel desks in Reykjavík City Hostel and Reykjavík

Downtown Hostel would be happy to assist you with all kinds

of travel arrangements, such as booking sightseeing tours with

complementary pick-up service.

For further information check out our website at www.hostel.is

Rent-a-Car PackageThe best way to discover Iceland and its nature is

on your own in a rental car. We therefore offer a

budget package which includes a rental car with

unlimited mileage and overnights at the HI Hostels

all around Iceland. As we have a limited number of

vehicles in each category, please book in good

advance.

contact us directly.
