The walk to the hotel from the terminal is longer than proclaimed but doable. The room was spotless but spartan: one pillow per bed. Expensive but convenient for a morning flight.

We love the convenience of walking from the airport terminal to the hotel at night. When our flight landed. The area was well lit and the hotel had a 24 hour reception. The room itself was clean and nicely appointed. We are only there for one night and had to get on our ring road trip in the morning. The breakfast in the morning was also quite sumptuous. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone before or after their flight into Iceland.

For overnights close to KEF Airport

This hotel exists to provide travelers easy access to the airport. There's really no other reason to stay here. Having said that, the hotel is very clean, the accommodations are comfortable, and the restaurant food is simple and tasty.

Love the location of it being by the airport. We came in to Reykjavík after mid-night and was able to walk to the hotel in less than 10 min. After getting out of the terminal. We did not love the small room nor the fact that due to the rain, all the passing traffic was making a lot of noise. We had to close the window, which then cause the room to get a bit warm.

Happy to have a place to get some sleep on a long layover. Facility was clean and walking distance from the airport. Mattresses weren’t very comfortable and rooms felt like a dorm, but I was able to recover a bit between flights which was all I needed. Front desk staff were great!

Friendly staff. So convenient to walk to and from the airport for an overnight stay. Very close to a bus stop to go into Keflavik for the afternoon. Much quieter than one would imagine too.
