We stayed for our whole 8 day trip to Iceland from the US. We are a family of 4 and the family room was a nice size to fit us. The place was very clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. Vogar is approx 20-30 min outside of Reykjavik but worth the drive. The owner lives there as well so if anything is needed she can help right away. She met with us and greeted everyone with a smile and a handshake. Highly recommend Arctic Wind!
Typical airport hostel, which has exactly what you need (and no more) for a single night before leaving the country. In the name of truth, the standard of this hostel is more like a 2- or 3-star hotel than of a typical hostel! Although rooms are spacious, the beds are curiously narrow, but the mattresses are good, so the sleep quality is good - after all. Breakfast is already served from 4 o'clock in the morning, so even those of us who (sigh!) had to catch a very early flight could have breakfast at the hotel. Breakfast is a bit basic, but besides bread the quality and variation is OK. We didn't meet any staff at all other than the receptionist. She was friendly, but indeed on cruise control, so you really had to have your ears perked up to get any of the information.
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.
We got there just before midnight and we had a bit of a tricky time finding the hotel! It's in a block of flats and we couldn't see the hotel name anywhere (we did see in the morning that the name is just a non transparent foil with ABC on the windows). When we went inside the vestibule, we saw a piece of paper with an arrow pointing to the reception desk. It was glued by adhesive tape, which was a bit strange. It all looked a little spooky, to be honest! The self-check-in is really quick and easy if you're already inside. We didn't see anyone using the self-check-in or self-check-out during our stay, which was really nice after all (yeas, we are introverts) The hotel rooms are fine, if a little minimalistic and spartan. The hotel has everything you need for one night. TV is in a bit of an awkward position for anyone trying to get to the bed. The sink is a little small. But the price is fair and not high compared to other choices in Iceland, which is great! I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who's flying out in the morning and does not need luxury. It's really handy that you can leave from the airport.
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.
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
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
If a hostel and a hotel had a baby then you can be sure it's name would be Cityhub! It's a hostel but with a hotel vibe. I'm going to break the review down based on my opinion Location (5/5 stars) Well it's not called VillageHub right?! So yes it is located downtown close to all the bars and restaurants. To put into perspective, round the corner is where you will find the famous Lebowski bar (which I'm sure you have already penned it down on your list). You're in walking distance of all other tourist spots in the city. Parking (no rating) You can skip this part of you're not planning on driving whilst in Iceland. For those of you that are renting a car, parking was a nightmare in Reykjavik and outside Cityhub you will find a few parking spots if you're lucky. I never understood the parking system in Iceland so I did the lazy and parked in the multi storey car park which is a stone throw away from the place. It cost me roughly between12 - 14£ to leave my car there overnight. Staff (5/5 stars) I had some complications with my booking and had to rebook but this was no fault of CityHub. The staff were super calm and helpful in putting me at ease. During my stay there I had interactions with a few and they were all super amazing! I noticed the lengths they would go to help the guests with queries even not related to the place. They would always engage in conversations and share their experiences with the guests. Lauren helped me check-in and gave me a tour of the facilities. She recommended a few things to do around the city and they didn't disappoint. I feel that the city tax we pay should go to Lauren! Isabella is super chilled and was helpful too with mainly things around Iceland and sorting out my booking issue which btw had nothing to do with her and the property. Julia and iria were the others who were also helpful. Definitely worthy assets to company! Well done team! Property and facilities (5/5) So here's the thing, the property identifies as a hostel but it really isn't. Let me tell you why. Instead of bunk beds, they have bunk pods cleverly designed like two ”L's” in Tetris. Each pod has a comfy mattress and usb charging ports on both sides. You have ample space at the end of the bed to leave two medium sized luggages. You also have two plugs, a table, a shelf and railing with hangers. Towels are also included. The room also had a phone holder on the wall which I personally used to watch the football but don't let me get in the way of how imaginative you could get with this. There's separate communal showers and toilets for male and females. They are always spotless clean and are stocked with ”Rituals” body wash and shampoo. I've stayed in five star hotels and even they don't provide beautiful smelling products like these! The property has 93 rooms and situated on the rooftop is a hot tub that can easily fit five people. Down in the lobby, lies the kitchen and dining area. Its well equipped with a fridge, microwave and a coff
