The decor is rather eclectic, but our room was spacious and clean, which was appreciated after many cramped rooms around Iceland. The staff were especially nice and friendly, so shoutout there. The location is also very central, although be careful not to confuse this hotel with the Central Hotels, which are different (but nearby). Thanks to the staff and great location, I'd definitely stay here again.

The bed was very comfortable. We arrived at KEF at 6:30am and put in a full day in town. It was a great place to prepare for the rest of our trip. Parking and driving in center city is very difficult. A lot of one way streets with parking only in designated areas. When GPS tells you to stop and park, believe it the first time.

Gorgeous, quirky foyer. Super helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful room. But beware this is the center of town and it can get lively at night. But you shouldn’t be here to sleep, get out there amongst it. Having said that, the street outside the hotel is nowhere near as loud as other reviews have mentioned (we were at the back of the property though). This is the place to be if you want bars, dining and convenience. Loved our stay here.
