Hotels With Bar in Southern Peninsula, Iceland

The room was spotless. While official check-in was at 2 PM, I was able to get into my room an hour early at 1 PM after a quick chat with the staff. One of the hotel's standout features is its fantastic location, being just an 8-minute walk from the airport. Super convenient!

The hotel is relatively close to the airport, so location itself is convenient. The room was spacious and with comfortable beds, though with fairly minimal amenities. Based on the room alone, it is acceptable for a short 1-night stay without much to ask for. On the negatives, there is currently a renovation of the hotel entrance is ongoing. No information was provided to us in advance nor is it mentioned in their website, which is misleading since an informed opinion cannot be made (given the ensuing issues on noise etc). Also due to the renovation, the reception area is rather stuffy and dark, since there is limited air circulation and natural light in the current temporary “reception” area. Finally, the area immediately around the hotel up until the entrance is badly maintained, if at all, with garbage all over the place (from food containers to used condoms).

Very good hotel, excellent location, large public areas and very warm feeling. The room was the largest we stayed in Iceland and could easily spread out 2 boxes. Opposite is the lighthouse, the weather is clear, you can see the aurora directly from the window (sea view room can, the other side will have the light pollution of the airport). The hotel drives 10 kilometers to the airport and will pass a small town.

Only 5min from airport by car. Hence, location wise, perfect for travellers who are departing on very early morning flights. Hotel has free shuttle to airport between 04:30-10:30, but no shuttle service from airport to hotel,. There are no shops or restsurants nearby, only rental companies. Buffet breakfadt is really good, at the Tokio Restaurant.

The room is relatively large and has its own characteristics. There is almost no service. I booked this hotel because I saw that there is an airport shuttle bus. I mistakenly thought that the hotel has this service. I started calling after booking the hotel, but no one answered. Later, Ctrip customer service helped me contact the hotel, and they said there was no airport pick-up, only airport drop-off. After checking in, I found out that the shuttle bus is bus No. 55, which runs once an hour. It takes 13 minutes to walk to the hotel after getting off the bus. The hotel has a terrace hot spring, which is clean and empty. And you can see the erupting volcano while taking a bath.

The location of the hotel is very close to the Blue Lagoon, you can take you to the Blue Lagoon for free. Although it is Samsung, it feels like 7 days in China. Spent 3 star money, live fast. Just a personal feeling

Clean but very small room. Window was rusted and could not be fully closed. Would be nice to have a few more shelves/racks. Excellent early breakfast for early flights.

Location close to the airport, good value for money. The room is big and there is no problem with hygiene. There is parking space. There is a restaurant/bar downstairs. Overall, it can be ordered again. 

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!

The name of the hotel speak for itself. Fantastic experience as we managed to catch the northern light right at the hotel itself. Tho hotel looks aged (might be due for refurbishment), overall is ok with all the necessary amenities. Staff were nice. We told them we had to leave early in the morning to catch a flight and wouldn’t be able to go for the breakfast which was provided for. The staff offered and arranged the breakfast to be prepared early for us. So nice of them.
