    Unkempt property, be careful about booking, rooms with shared bathroom have no sound privacy
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Double or Twin Room with Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    The host was impolite. We booked a room with a double bed and private bathroom. We received a room with twin beds and a shared bathroom. He didn't believe us and said there were no rooms left and we couldn't get a refund. I was able to go through the booking process for another room (double bed with private bathroom) after he said this - so he wasn't being honest with us. He also said that in all of Europe, there is no such thing as a double, queen, or king bed. The beds are all twins put together. I corrected him (we're from the USA but have dual citizenships in EU countries) and then he said, "well, that's true in Iceland." We are friendly people and were rather taken aback by this experience. We didn't argue (well, I couldn't help it with the bed comment...) and gave in to the fact we had to stay... The room was clean and well equipped, but with the shared bathroom there was no privacy. The sound carried as if the door was open. Our neighbor coughed most of the night. The property is rather unkempt - and it seems like long term residents live here too. The side entrances are junky. And just know that this is not at the airport, it's near the airport. We had to drive less than 10 minutes - we had expected we'd be within walking distance. On a good note, the breakfast was lovely....so we were able to leave with full stomachs at least!

    We liked the breakfast - quite a variety and as much as we needed to fuel up for the day.

    Rather close to the airport, convenient if you need to take an early flight
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Single Bed in Male Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    There was only 1 toilet/bathroom per floor. A bit far from the airport, you need to take a bus (if during the day) or taxi. If you are unlucky with your room mates, you might not be able to sleep, but that is the problem with dormitories.

    Everything was clean. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was OK.

    The Price. More than 200€ and you need to share a bathroom… We only pay the proximity with the airport.

    The size of the room, the breakfast which is available from 4am and the well furnished shared kitchen.

    A bit expensive to take a taxi back and forth to the airport.

    It was quieter than I expected. The showers were great. The breakfast was filling with variety and good coffee. The staff helped me get a taxi and it came quickly. The kitchen was only big enough for one group to cook in. There were plenty of leftover snacks available.

    Although it claims to be an airport hotel it is quite far away from the terminal and does not have airport transfer: They suggest a taxi at 4.800 ISK (35 Euro) - so from Rental Car to Hotel and from hotel to Airport it is 70 - 80 Euro extra costs.

    Staff was very friendly, nice breakfast (starting at 4 am - thank you so much!), room was very tidy and also there is free tea and coffee 24/7.

    Even though still in fair condition, the place shows it age could benefit from some refurbishment.

    Excellent location, very close to the airport, thus really convenient on late arrivals or overnight connections. Good standard with sufficient comfort. Recommended.

    The location was not that close to the airport and the bus was not frequent. In the end we had to rent a car to go there, as it didn't take long to drive there from the airport.

    Breakfast was very good, one of the best I've had in Iceland. The shared kitchen was nice to prepare something ourselves as restaurants close early. There was coffee and hot water all the time.

    Met our needs for the night before our flight out of the country.

    • Triple Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 1 night

    We had the room at the very end of the corridor (117). The drain for the shower was really slow so water overflowed onto the floor. When we told them about it at the desk, they told us "Yeah, that's just a problem with that room. The water backs up." They suggested that we turn the water off as we lathered up to reduce the amount of water going down the drain. Rather annoying when you have 3 people needing to shower.

    The rooms were simple, but met our needs for a place to stay close to the airport. Breakfast was good and they start serving at 4am which was good, because we needed to leave at 6:30am.

    Everything else. When you are booking a room, they don't show photos of other bed, it seemed like I had 1 bed and a small room for Me, with shared bathroom and kitchen. But the room was also shared, which wasn't on the pictures .

    It was clean

    The bathtube wasn't draining the water properly, and the pressure of the water in the shower was too weak.

    The family room is large and functional and the location is very good, for the late flight in which we arrived. The breakfast was OK.

    Surrounding was not very nice, but not important for us

    We needed to be as near as possible to airport, so we chose this hotel. They know this is probably the most usual goal of people, so breakfast starts already at 4 am, what is awesome! Already at the evening, we could have free coffee, tea in the kitchen.

    big, big fraud!!!!! as normal, I booked the hotel that same day using the site of booking.com (room with 2 single beds with private bathroom). The fare which I took was 135,13 Euros. The site mentioned, as usual in the case of reservations in the same day, that we could make the payment immediately or at the hotel. I choosed the last one When I arrived at the hotel, they obliged me to pay 148,50 Euros. Then, I said that I wanted to anull the reservation and make another one with the foreseen value of 135,13 Euros. They said me that they would charge me immediately the 148,50 Euros... This is a fraud and I would like that Booking.com or the hotel will deposit in my account the remaining 13,37 Euros which were abusely charged on my payment at the hotel.
