"Great location. Good place a walk the sidewalks or along the Bay."
Hotel Keilir by Reykjavik Keflavik Airport
"The room had a spectacular view of the sea. The receptionist was very helpful and clearly keeps the place running well. She even drove us to the airport. The only negative was that the shower drained slowly."
Eldey Airport Hotel
"Fantastic little hotel. It's not super fancy but super clean. The breckfast was wonderful. Would highly recommend this place."
Hotel Viking
"This is a good budget friendly place in Expensive iceland. We were 2 adults + 3 kids. It was kind of tight and with a single washroom"
Konvin Hotel by Reykjavik Keflavik Airport
"We were fortunate enough to be able to check in a couple hours early which we really appreciated. The room was a generous size, clean, and comfortable. Only suggestion would be to stock more pillows in the room. We ate at the restaurant for dinner and the service was quick and the food was good"
