If you need to stay overnight at the airport, this place is perfect. Just realize that there is NOTHING else nearby. Iceland has very little travel options so, your only food options are at the hotel. The room has nice hardwood floors and is decently large. The beds are two singles pushed together, which isn't great, but it's fine. No AC, and while Iceland is often cold, if you do open the window then you'll hear the noisy airport.

For overnights close to KEF Airport

This hotel exists to provide travelers easy access to the airport. There's really no other reason to stay here. Having said that, the hotel is very clean, the accommodations are comfortable, and the restaurant food is simple and tasty.

Love the location of it being by the airport. We came in to Reykjavík after mid-night and was able to walk to the hotel in less than 10 min. After getting out of the terminal. We did not love the small room nor the fact that due to the rain, all the passing traffic was making a lot of noise. We had to close the window, which then cause the room to get a bit warm.

Happy to have a place to get some sleep on a long layover. Facility was clean and walking distance from the airport. Mattresses weren’t very comfortable and rooms felt like a dorm, but I was able to recover a bit between flights which was all I needed. Front desk staff were great!
