Tehúsið Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Egilsstadir. 34 km from Hengifoss and 24 km from Gufufoss, the property provides ski storage space, as well as a bar. The accommodation offers karaoke and a shared kitchen.

Easy check in. We got the private room for four and it was more special than expected. Beds were comfortable and facilities were clean. We didn’t use the showers since we went to the hot springs before.

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.

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Husey Hostel. The place is charming and our rooms were very comfortable and big. We met people from all over the world in the common areas. The staff was incredibly kind as well. Our daughter forgot her very dear doll in the bed and Elisabet and Laufey were kind enough to ship it all the way back to us. We were also able to visit the Puffin colony about an hour away from the hostel. Overall a wonderful experience.

    amazing hostel. Excellent food and beer at the restaurant. Bathrooms separated from sinks and showers which is more hygienic. Great vibes. Great location. Gets the job done. Kitchen clean. I will totally stay again next time.

    Central location (small town anyway) A lot of parking Comfy beds Would have been a perfect youth hostel accommodation (if not for the price: 280,- € per night)

    A really funky hostel, that looks nothing from the outside. You walk in to an amazingly cool bar, where the hostel reception is. They then slide the doors open into a lovely lounge with a TV and games etc the rooms are off the lounge. We had a 6 bed room to ourselves. The kitchen and showers are on the other side of the lounge and are very well equipped. We loved staying here and it was the cheapest accomodation that we booked whilst in Iceland. Very good value. The bar also had snacks and obviously drinks, but wasn't at all noisy.

    Very pleasant hostel, with a lively atmosphere. We booked a room for 2, which turned out to be a 6 person dorm room with a double and 2 bunk beds all for ourselves- which offered us all the space we needed. Shared facilities were in very good shape and clean . There is a pleasant communal space, as well as a nice bar where you can also get (a simple) breakfast.

    The hostel area was well decorated and felt cosy, the kitchen was well equipped with common foods like salt pepper and oil, lots of toilets and showers, the bunk beds were sturdy so minimal disturbance to your neighbour. Staff was wonderfully helpful.

    Great location - the bus stops outside the hostel, and it’s walking distance to everything in town. We also walked to the Vok baths from the hostel and it was about an hour so very doable. The hostel and attached bar were really cool, very quirky decor and they had lots of nice touches like a board game table and comfy sofas. The kitchen had everything you would need and was a perfect size for the size of the hostel. The toilets and showers were clean and great and the staff were very helpful.

    This was the best hostel I stayed in my whole trip in Iceland! The beds were even better than my own, with a thick layer of softness. You also have some privacy because of the curtains along the edges of the bed. There is also a cozy café included with the hostel which was great!

    Easy check-in via a key safe, great location. The camping pods are small and not very comfortable but perfect for one night. A nice little place to get yourself comfortable.
