Vagnsstaðir HI Hostel

Southeast Iceland


Snowmobiles litter this Ring Road property, HQ of Glacier Jeeps. There's a small, bunk-heavy hostel with a sunny enclosed dining area, plus additional six-bed cottages (each with toilet, but no shower) next to the main building. The common complaint is that the limited bathroom facilities and small kitchen are now inadequate for the number of beds. Non-HI members pay an additional 800kr.

The newest addition: a separate block of hotel-standard rooms with private bathroom and breakfast included in the rate. The property is 26km east of Jökulsárlón.
