About this stay

Arriving at Efra Sel Hostel, travellers find a welcoming garden and sun terrace, ideal for relaxing after a day on the road. The shared kitchen is a practical feature, allowing guests to prepare their own meals, a real plus for budget-conscious trips. Evenings can be spent in the communal lounge, a comfortable spot to unwind and connect with other travellers. Rooms offer views of either the garden or an inner courtyard, providing a quiet retreat. The hostel's location makes it a convenient base for exploring the Golden Circle, with Geysir and Gullfoss Waterfall within easy driving distance.

Our take

I recommend Efra Sel Hostel to budget-conscious travellers who want a simple base in Flúðir for Golden Circle days, with Geysir 25 km and Gullfoss 36 km away. A shared kitchen, a lounge, a sun terrace, a garden, free WiFi and private check-in cover the basics. The listing does not say whether bathrooms are private, so confirm before booking, and anyone wanting a restaurant or spa on site should look elsewhere. With 211 reviews behind a 9.1 rating, I would choose it for value.

  • ✓Make use of the shared kitchen to save on dining costs during your trip
  • ✓Relax on the sun terrace or in the garden after a day of sightseeing
  • ✓Plan your Golden Circle itinerary around the hostel's proximity to Geysir and Gullfoss
