Amazing room and super clean. Smelled as fresh as could be upon entering. Comfortable beds and pillows. Just wish the hot tubs were up and running while we stayed there.

Our stay here was an ideal way to end our trip to Iceland. It is located in a peaceful and quiet area, close to the airport and car rental locations, which made an early morning flight conveniently easier. The room was sparkling clean and spacious, and the amenities were perfect. The shower and heated towel rack were A+. We also loved that the TV had streaming services available that were already logged-in (with accounts for each cabin), meaning we didn’t have to use our personal accounts. The central kitchen area was great for breakfasts, and the parking and pathway system made rolling our luggage to and from the car easy. I would absolutely stay here again.

We wanted something close to the airport and this was perfect. We did have a car rented so not sure about public transport here. Definitely not too much around but that made it peaceful. Beautiful grassy landscape around the property. The shared kitchen was modern and clean. Rooms were very nice and updated.

Great little place as a stop off either on the way to or from the airport - really good, comfortable base. Great parking, fantastic and well stocked community kitchen. The shared bathrooms were exceptional. Really warm and comfortable - very cosy, and such an easy check in and check out process. Fuss free! Thank you!

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.
