Reykjavík's friendliest cheap sleep: pine bunks, a gear-drying room that earns its keep in every season, and a communal kitchen where aurora alerts get shouted down the hall. It sits above a bakery on the main drag, which means cinnamon-bun mornings and weekend bar noise until 3am — the back rooms and earplugs handle most of it. Cheap for Iceland still isn't cheap.
Why it earns the score
The drying room and the aurora-alert culture — a hostel built by people who go outside.
