Guest Reviews
- christine (10/5): Idéal ! A proximité de l'aéroport - L'hôtel est idéalement situé à proximité de l'aéroport. On est très bien accueilli, les chambres et les sanitaires sont impeccables et le petit déjeuner est proposé dès 4h, ce qui est très appréciable quand on a un vol tôt le matin.
- Lene (5/5): - Der var ikke rent. Morgenmaden var ikke videre god.
- Lorenzo (8/5): utile per la vicinanza all’aeroporto. buon rapporto qualità prezzo - comodità della posizione tenda non completamente oscurante bagno un po’ vecchio
- Denis (10/5): -
- Astrid (8/5): Nur ein paar Stunden da gewesen nach Deutschland. Alles okay gewesen - Gute Lage zum Airport. Check in rund um die Uhr möglich, getrennte Schlafsäcke für Frauen.
- stefania (7/5): -
- Hiroshi (7/5): -
- Julien (8/5): - Tres bon accueil, locaux communs spacieux et agréables. Assez loin de l'aéroport (7km), sans navette dédiée... De fait, le coût du taxi n'est pas très avantageux !
- Pavel (8/5): -
- Jean Marc (7/5): - Proche de l aéroport mais aucune nuisance sonore. Bon buffet petit déjeuner
- Tomasz (10/5): -
- Amber (10/5): Great location, convenient for the airport - I have stayed here multiple times on my way to and from the airport. It is conveniently located and has a good breakfast. The staff are friendly and the facilities are clean. Nothing to change here, it is often my go-to for short stays near the airport.

- haesun (8/5): -
- J. Roca (10/5): Excel.lent i funcional - Molt pràctic i funcional
- PEIEN (10/5): 24小時提供咖啡、可可、鮮奶 很棒 - 這是我們在冰島15天的最後一站，離機場很近，四點提供早餐，所以即便是搭早班機也可以享用完早餐再到機場，床很舒適好睡，非常推薦 沒有，一切都很棒
- ROBERTO (8/5): Correcto - Cercanía aeroropuerto. Ruido en la habitación no excesivamente molesto, de algún aparato de aire o similar
- Bartlomiej (8/5): -
- Aia Cat (9/5): - Habitación amplia con baño . Perfecto para aparcar . Desayuno variado con fruta, embutido, tes,café,leche incluso bebidas vegetales. Estaba todo bien

- Stanzani (8/5): - Molto comodo per chi arriva tardi in aereoporto. Camera essenziale e pulita, colazione buona.
- co423cu (2/5): I couldn’t be paid double what I paid ($200 US dollars/night) to stay here again. - Nothing. It’s a former US army barracks. The bed was terrible. TV didn’t work. Shower pressure was weak and the water lukewarm. The elevator is terrible. The location is terrible. The amenities are terrible. The transportation options are terrible.
- Raquel (10/5): - El personal muy amable, tanto de recepción como del desayuno. La estancia Cumple el propósito al estar cerca del aeropuerto y de la capital
- Paul (8/5): airport hotel far from the airport; nice guest kitchen with supplies (pasta, canned chickpea, salt) - good breakfast; guest kitchen with supplies far from the airport; bathroom shared with the neighboring suite

- Iitingkou (9/5): -
- Fahad (10/5): -
- Femke (8/5): Handig voor de eerste of laatste nacht van de vakantie - Handige locatie vlak bij het vliegveld, maar geen geluidsoverlast dankzij goede dubbele ramen. Ruime, lichte kamer en verrassend goed ontbijt. De omgeving is niet heel inspirerend - maar wat kun je verwachten naast een vliegveld.
- Erkan (9/5): -
- Magdalena (10/5): - Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, blisko lotniska. Komfortowy, duży pokój z łazienką, miły personel, śniadanie również w porządku.
- Sylvie (8/5): - La salle de bain commune mais c'est un choix
- Michela Moto (10/5): - Comodissimo per raggiungere l'aeroporto. Cucina fornita e letto comodo
- Manoli (7/5): Habitació i esmorzar correctes - L'habitació correcta per passar la nit. L'esmorzar Buffett correcte El soroll del bany de les altres habitacions se sentien durant la nit (em costa dormir). El bany correcte però falten penjadors.
- Jessica (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix proche aéroport ! Merci - *Proximité de l'aéroport de Keflavick *Réception 24h/24 *Literie confortable *Bon petit déjeuner compris *hôtel d'aéroport
- Vitor (9/5): -
- Lauma (10/5): -
- christine (10/5): - La proximité de l'aéroport, l'excellent petit déjeuner près à 4h du matin, la propreté, l'accueil... tout est parfait !
- ALVARO JESUS (8/5): Ubicación inmejorable cerca del Aeropuerto - La ubicación es perfecta a 1’ de la mayoría de agencias de Rentacar y a menos de 10’ del Aeropuerto, es perfecto para pasar la última noche si tienes que regresar en un vuelo temprano o llegas en un vuelo de noche.
- Jacob Wind (7/5): -
- eva 22 (8/5): -
- Elsa (8/5): -
- Katerina (7/5): - Ubytování průměrné. Velká ochota personálu. Dobrá snídaně. Na recepci nám zajistili na druhý den taxi na letiště. Poloha hotelu. Je to 7-9 km od letiště - pěšky to jdete 1,5 hodiny. Nelze to nikudy obejít. Buď musíte autobusem, ten ale nejezdí o víkendu. Takže musíte taxíkem. Ten stoji 5-6k ISK na jednu cestu.
- Seray Hande (10/5): -
- Guest (7/5): -
- Michalis (9/5): - Great place The bathroom bin is an open one. It will be better if it close on the top like most bathroom bins
- Danuta (10/5): Było cudownie - Wszystko Nie wiem
- Dimitrios (10/5): -
- Soon Ngee (8/5): - Cleanliness and shared kitchen No supermarket or restaurants nearby, no public transport to airport
- Pękała (8/5): -
- AlexBuhai (10/5): Amazing hospitality - Highlight for us was the Staff there, we've had some issues with our booking, and it didn't appear as reserved, and they helped us without double-charging us. The rooms were cleaned and cosy with USB chargers at every bed. It is a budget hotel, but the breakfast was also enough to allow us to start the next day full and happy! To be honest, nothing. It is not that close to the airport as the usual IBIS hotels, and in winter it's windy so we needed to take a cab, but nothing to fault the hotel in that regard
- Erlingsson (8/5): -
- Nina (8/5): -
- Olga (9/5): - Everything was clean. The breakfast was really good and had everything you could want. The rooms were spacious, the beds comfortable and you could use a locker with your own lock. The staff was also very nice and helpful. It's not about the hostel per se, but many fellow travelers had booked the place because it seemed in a manageable walking distance from the airport. But it's a 11min drive and >1h long walk from the airport. So just keep that in mind.
- Jessica (7/5): Struttura comoda per il ritorno a casa - La vicinanza all'aeroporto e la possibilità di usufruire della macchina del caffè al di fuori dell'orario della colazione L'angolo cottura in camera era privo di stoviglie e utensili (c'era solo un lavabo e un frigo) ed il bagno molto piccolo con lavandino mignon.
- Darren (10/5): -
- Carine (8/5): -
- Ade (10/5): Thank you - Thank you Thank you
- Graziano (8/5): - Posizione perfetta per partire il giorno dopo. Colazione dalle 4. Vicinissimo agli uffici di car rental. Buon rapporto qualità prezzo. Reception 24x7 Un po' anonimo ma tanto qui si è sempre solo di passaggio
- Alice (10/5): - Emplacement parfait, A proximité directe de l'aéroport et sans la gêne du bruit des avions. Le petit déjeuner est très bon (validé par adultes et enfants !)
- Giulia (9/5): Prima notte in Islanda - Struttura calda e accogliente.. colazione abbondante e possibilità di utilizzare la macchinetta del caffè e il bollitore anche a tarda sera. Vicino la reception c’è un tavolino dove è possibile prendere gratuitamente degli asciugamani extra.
- Corinne (10/5): -
- Jens (8/5): -
- Adriana I (10/5): -
- Alberto Rodriguez (8/5): -
- Daniele (9/5): La camera era abbastanza pulita, la struttura presenta cucina a disposizione degli ospiti con tutti gli utensili necessa - Colazione, spazi condivisi con tè, caffè sempre disponibile e gratis, servizio taxi
- Alexander (9/5): -
- Adeline (8/5): Simple mais très bien - Près de l’aéroport P’tit déjeuner varié à 4h du matin Chambre grande
- Ulrike (8/5): - Geräumiges Zimmer, bequeme Betten. Das Personal kam ohne Anklopfen ins Zimmer, um einen Heizlüfter rauszuholen. Dieser wurde genutzt, um das geflutete Bad zu trocknen.
- Ćwiekowski (10/5): -
- Marta (9/5): Perfect for coming or going to Keflavik - The hotel is near to the airport, is quite, it has a shared kitchen to heat up something and breakfast is good and starts very early in the morning. Rooms are simple but nice and clean. Great value for money
- SSU YI (7/5): 離機場近，搭早班機方便 - 早上五點有早餐，可以吃完出發搭飛機 有插座帶似乎太老舊不能使用
- Chloé (9/5): -
- Wan Hong (10/5): -
- Elena (8/5): Comodo da e per l' aeroporto - Posizione comoda per raggiungere in 15 minuti l'aeroporto e in 45 minuti la capitale. Cucina in comune completamente attrezzata, in cui preparare e consumare i propri pasti. Sala comune in cui sono sempre a disposizione bibite calde. Stanza ampia con bagno grande. Parcheggio a disposizione dei clienti
- Pornwadee (8/5): -
- Anna (8/5): - Hi vam passar una nit després d'arribar a Islàndia i abans d'iniciar la nostra ruta. Molt a prop de l'aeroport, un bon lloc "de pas". Esmorzar correcte.
- ANNETTE (9/5): - Nahe zum Flughafen. Frühstück ab 04Uhr morgens.
- Dimitrios (10/5): -
- Elisabetta (9/5): - Espacios amplios y cómodos Ubicación perfecto para pasar una noche cerca del aeropuerto Compartir el baño con desconocidos (y en mi caso muy sucios y maleducados) fue muy incómodo. Por suerte el personal entendió la situación y pudo ofrecer una solución.
- Katarzyna (7/5): -
- jose (7/5): -
- DIANE (8/5): Very comfortable and convenient overnight stay before an early flight - Breakfast offering and timing (4am start! Great for early flights), very spacious room, proximity to airport (minutes away by car), friendly staff Pillows were a bit too puffy, parking hard to see when covered in snow--one car slid into a ditch and had to be dug out
- DIANE (8/5): Good option near the airport - Good breakfast buffet with an early start time for those who have early flights. The room is spacious and clean, the staff friendly. Very convenient to get to the airport. Good kitchen facilities.
- Kim (9/5): - Se nos retrasó el vuelo, y el personal hacía todo para ayudarnos con las gestiones. Muy simpáticos todos y la habitación perfecta para una estancia así.
- Jannie (8/5): Prima plek voor 1 nacht - De locatie vlakbij het vliegveld -
- Steven (8/5): Perfekt für einen Kurzaufenthalt vor oder nach dem Flug. - Wir hatten ein sehr großes Familienzimmer mit zwei Räumen und einem Badezimmer. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und alles was man braucht. Perfekte Lage um eine Nacht vor dem Flug zu verbringen. Von außen darf man sich nicht irritieren lassen und die Gegend ist nicht schön. Denke aber, dass man nicht deswegen hierher kommt.
- Manuel (8/5): -
- Jéssica (10/5): Great place - The have a Great breakfast and the hotel is very clean
