Hostels in Keflavík

The hotel is conveniently close to the airport. We had a late flight and contactless checkin was very nice. The room was bare bones and the bed wasn’t comfortable. My biggest concern was the temperature in the shower. It was SCALDING. I can’t imagine anyone could actually stand under it and it didn’t change no matter which way you turned the handle. If I was coming to Iceland again under the same circumstances, I would suck it up and get a more expensive hotel.

Located in the airport town of Keflavik, near the cargo terminal , while KEF international about 10 minutes drive away. We stayed here becos we need to catch the 7am flight to London gatwick .Clean n comfy. Love the small lobby n sitting area. Small kitchen but comfy , complimentary coffee free flow. Met the sweet lady owner , she chit chat a bit with my fren. A frequent traveller herself. Highly recommend if you need hotel near KEF airport.

Posto bellissimo arredato in maniera fantastica, da fuori non è molto carino, non è un albergo quindi non ha una reception ma all’interno ho trovato tutto quello di cui avevo bisogno. Ho letto molto grande lenzuola pulite e stirate cosa non semplice da trovare in Islanda c’è un divano ed un ulteriore letto. Televisione nuovissima e particolarmente grande. Bagno spazioso la colazione già presente in camera, non paragonabile con una di albergo appena preparata è varia

Second time staying at Start Keflavik hostel because i had great experience there. It’s near to the airport by bus/car. Bonus / Kronan supermarket are within 30 minutes walk and along the way you get to snap some nice photos of the surroundings. Staff were very friendly and helpful and i had a good chat with the Chinese lady. Very spacious, cosy and clean amenities especially the recreation room, lounge and dining hall. Guests are provided with coffee, tea and other beverages at anytime. A wonderful place highly recommended for all travellers!

Einfache, preiswerte Unterkunft. Ideal für die letzte Nacht vor dem Abflug. Das Einchecken erfolgt im Hotel. Super einfach und freundlich!

An excellent place to stay and only 9 mins from the airport. Great to stay on arrival or night before departure. We were met by the owner, Reynir. The B&B was homely, warm and welcoming. Our bedroom was the music room, where the decoration of the room was musical instruments along the ceiling. A very quirky, different kind of property situated next to the sea. I only had to cross a road to view the Northern Lights who were displayed beautifully. We had a lovely breakfast before setting off on our trip. Transfers and drops offs to the airport are offered, but we had a hired car. There was also use of a fabulous hot tub. Would definitely recommend Ravens B&B

Pros: - short drive to airport - common areas make up for tiny rooms - early “breakfast” Cons: - breakfast lacking in so many ways - property cleanliness questionable – bathroom, black coverings - flattest pillows ever (the covers were thicker than the pillow) - no space whatsoever - very low effort and one of our most expensive stays Summary: Unfortunately, the B&B Guesthouse in Keflavik missed the mark in many, many ways and there is evident lack of overall care whilst riding on the coat tails of an 8.x positive review score they likely had years and years ago. The only saving grace was that this was our last stay prior to leaving and it made us want to return home after our time in this beautiful country. Upon arrival, the front desk attendant was not available. When the attendant finally returned and we checked in, we were provided a very very small room with literally a bed with the flattest pillows I’ve ever slept on, tacky black bedding, a shelf mounted above to bump your head on, a wall-mounted television, and that’s it. We elected for accommodation with a private bathroom and in our case we found possible mold contamination (unacceptable). The common area fortunately offered some reprieve and extra space, but it was again a small space overall. “Breakfast” was self-serve and by far the most basic set up of all properties we stayed at. Very simple, very basic, and very low effort. The biggest kicker was the cost of this stay was quite high at time of booking, and the price we paid was more than the nicest hotel we stayed at during our trip (which had a bathroom bigger than the ENTIRE room & bathroom here). In short, B&B Guesthouse Keflavik is highly NOT recommended unless the price is right and you do not have a car for transport. If you are driving, there are many options even in other areas and you can drive to the airport first thing in the morning. I’d even resort to a night in the car instead. If you found this review to be helpful, please kindly indicate so it would help me focus on my future review efforts!
