The hotel was easy off/on to the freeway and mid-way between the KEF airport and Reykjavik which worked well for us. The family accommodations worked well for our grown kids and my husband and I...4 single beds. I would stay here again. It was close to Hafnarfjordur so we could easily drive to get some food.

Breakfast seems simple and reasonable. Also, the location was between the city and airport. There’s a walking distance grocery shopping, which was great.

This hotel was considerably cheaper than similar hotels right around the airport and only about a 20 minute drive from the airport. Parking was easy as it was off of the main road and the rooms were big and the breakfast was good and if you wanted to work out at the Reebok fitness center they had a relationship and you could do that for free. All in all, we were very happy with this choice for an overnight hotel, after arriving in Keflavík.

My cousin and I was not impressed with the property. There was a sound in the middle of the night and we had to sleep in the car for the first two nights till they had a room for us. We got sick by sleeping in the car and now they are not able to refund us the two nights as well. Very upsetting.

Away from the hustle and bustle of Reykjavik. Bonus Market, private bakery, gas station close by. Definitely need a car to get out to see the sights & restaurants but its not far. Staff was very helpful & pleasant. Buffet breakfast was very convenient.
