Great stop after a late flight into Keflavik. Taxi journey was only 10 min, and buses to Reykjavik easy next day. Super friendly staff, thank you for the breakfast :)

Excellent service when I arrived late. Comfortable convenient for the airport.
It was a great stay overall, Syzmon at the front desk was very informative and helpful with everything upon Check in and check out, even had some great advice about the blue lagoon and transportation. Would Stay again.
Was just an overnight stop on the way to the airport. Although there's no airport shuttle they were happy to arrange a taxi and even arranged for us to share with another guest who was going to the airport at the same time
Great place, the bed look small but after you get in was so comfortable, I had a really nice sleep , I would definitely recommend this place, also the lady and gentleman at the reception were very friendly and nice
