Very nice little cottage in a great area. Updated on the inside and there’s even a common area that’s stocked with tea, coffee etc that provides a good area to sit and eat. We would definitely stay here again.

Quiet location 10 minutes from airport. We arrived after midnight as our plane was in late, but not an issue as there is a lock box for the keys. Be aware there are no shops nearby or breakfast options - bring something or drive back to the Keflavik bakery for breakfast.

Very clean place that's convenient for an early morning flight out of the Keflavik Airport (though driving distance). All necessary amenities provided. Shared bathroom is in a different cottage. A little chilly to get from our cottage to the restroom but takes 30 seconds so not too bad. All facilities, including restroom and kitchen, are very clean and well-stocked as well. Easy to find even in the night, and ample parking.
