It was a very safe, clean, and convenient location next to the airport. The hotel staff was minimally interested in us, but we didn't speak any Icelandic, so maybe that was the difference.

It was great for the location to the airport for our 13hr layover, however I wouldn't want to spend more that 1 night there. The beds were comfy, but the blankets on the bed are not big enough for 2 people in the doubles. Amenities are light, front desk staff isn't the friendliest or very helpful.

Over priced

It wasnt worth the price we paid for 1 night stay. There was no refrigerator. Just the 2 beds and a bathroom with towels. TV with a few channels. Nothing else.

The property was as advertised. Within walking distance of the airport terminal, it was a very clean well maintained albeit basic hotel. Restaurant facilities were limited, and it stood in isolation from other facilities.

Walking from airport to hotel was a lil challenging with 2 heavy bags (they should provide a shuttle service) but overall great place to stay.

The hotel is a 3 minute walk from the airport, so very convenient for travelling. However, if you want to go shopping, site-seeing etc, not the hotel for you. That said, great staff, great breakfast offered, all in all an excellent hotel for travellers.

An ideal place to spend our last night before our trip home, since it is only a five minutes walk to KEF so we don’t need to rush out in the morning. The hotel offers all the basic, clean, friendly staff and a good breakfast.
