Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was very pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly courteous and helpful. It was very quiet, making it easy to get a taxi for my early morning flight. The room provided more than enough space for the four of us, equipped with a little kitchenette, a desk, and a walk-in closet.
I loved staying at this hotel for its unique room setup with 6 chairs, giving a dorm room feel but still clean and comfortable. The bonus of watching planes take off and land added to the experience. The service was friendly and welcoming but lacked local area knowledge. The ideal location near the airport and with a view of the northern lights compensated for being slightly isolated. The reasonable dining options were a nice touch for those staying there.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although not elegant due to their history as on-base lodging, were comfortable and clean, but we found some issues like cotton ear buds from a previous guest on the floor. The bath along with the shower was a nice touch. The service was quite nice and helpful, despite a small hiccup with the luggage scale. The location, near the airport, was convenient, especially for travelers renting cars, but it lacked walking options around. The dining, while starting a bit late for early flights, did offer locally caught fish. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.
Had a student bedroom feel in my room with a small kitchen; spotlessly clean and had all the elements for a seamless stay before flying out. Very accommodating service including a little breakfast package; helpful in arranging shuttle to the airport. Location convenient to KEF, suitable for departure to another European location. Delicious dining options, especially baked cookies. Compact facilities with a homey atmosphere.
The hotel has very good and comfortable beds, all the basic necessities provided, and spacious clean rooms with a comfortable bed and necessary amenities. It is extremely clean; however, the location is slightly secluded with limited nearby attractions. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and the dining experience, while not extravagant, offers diverse options. The facilities are well-maintained and better than expected for the price paid.
I found the hotel to have a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with many beds and amenities but could use a decor update. The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location, although close to the airport and convenient for departures, required some extra travel time due to being on the wrong side. The dining options were practical for early morning flights but lacked inspiration. Despite these aspects, the hotel offered a good value for the money.
