It’s a no frills hotel. The hotel was cold from the entrance and lobby with the bar. The rooms were clean but also cold. The restaurant is in another room so a slight bit warmer. Staff were super friendly and happy to help.

the place is ok - the only good thing about it is it’s walking distance to the airport- that’s why they can get those sky high prices- otherwise it’s just a way over priced holiday inn- I will never take a plane that lands in Iceland anymore Bad airport - town is hour away - nowhere around there to buy anything- just my opinion.

This hotel is within walking distance to the airport. Great place to spend the night if you have a very early morning flight the next day. It offers a good breakfast variety. The room itself was spacious. I travelled with an infant and it was comfortable. The room was quiet. Overall good experience!

Chose the Aurora for its convenient location. If arriving and going direct, be sure to exit the airport on the 'departures' side for the shortest walk. Bedrooms were pretty lackluster but fine for overnight. No mini fridge and the hotel would benefit in providing them for food/drink storage. Otherwise was pleasantly surprised with the breakfast and latte machine. Lots of hot and cold options.

The staff was nice and the hotel was clean. Having breakfast included in our stay was convenient. Everything else was quite minimal for the price you pay. The mattresses felt well used and the blankets barely fit the bed itself. Towels were also quite small. However it was convenient to the airport for departinf the next day.

As with most airport hotels, its expensive for what you get. However, the airport is a LONG bus ride from Reykjavik so it's good if you have an early or late flight. Location is best described as "in the airport parking lot" rather than at the terminal, so be prepared!

A little pricey due to no competition but location adjacent the airport cannot be beat for an overnight layover. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Quiet. Breakfast was nice.
