1. Sustainable, Eco-Friendly, and a Bike Rental Service

Bus Hostel is managed by locals, and works with local tour operators.

The hostel has its own strict green guidelines to ensure that travelers stay in a safe, non-toxic and energy-efficient environment. You can get organic and fair trade coffee at the bar, while only non-disposable dishes and utensils are used at the hostel.

Last but not least, you will get 100% organic sheets and towels and sleep in hand-made bunk-beds (fair trade!). That sounds pretty cool, right?!

2. Vintage-Style with Love & creativity

We especially love Bus Hostel’s creativity!

The Hostel is decorated in a vintage style with old frames hanging on the wall, wooden furniture throughout the hostel, and vintage elements including an old record player. The numerous old frames, and the mentioned vintage elements invite everybody to calm down, have a look at the small design details all over the place.

The sleeping rooms on the other hands are kept in a bright and simple design. Bright colors and bright wooden furniture ensures a comfy stay.

The design of Bus Hostel is also mixed up with hip and fun touches: The unique character!

3. Creative and Intelligent Sense of Humor

This sense of humor is simply brilliant and a tad bit geeky!

We love the attitude that comes with Bus Hostel. You’ll love all the short, positives quotes all over the hostel. And if you fancy some singing in the shower, but your talent for singing is not your strongest suite, remember: There is no half-singing in the shower. You’re either a Rock Star or an Opera Diva!.

Also, the sign “Men to the left, because women are always right” earn many laughter. Just slow & calm down, the Bus Hostel Reykjavik is a place to enjoy!
