Hotel Keilir by Reykjavik Keflavik Airport

Great over all

Rude host, fake shuttle, broken bathroom — avoid The airport shuttle advertised on this hotel’s profile does not exist in practice. Despite contacting the host repeatedly by phone, email, and WhatsApp before our arrival, we were left stranded at Keflavík Airport at 1 AM with five adults and a 2-year-old child. The promised message with the vehicle plate number never came, and the host stopped answering her phone entirely. We had to find our own taxi in the middle of the night — not straightforward with a toddler, as most cabs don’t carry child seats. When we finally arrived at the hotel, instead of an apology, the host was aggressive and defensive, blaming us for missing a shuttle that never actually came. She had apparently already told her side of the story to another guest, who also confronted us. The host’s excuse for not answering the phone: she had “too much to do.” The room itself had a clogged shower and a clogged sink. The next morning, I booked the shuttle to the airport for 9 AM — confirmed, then cancelled at the last minute for the same reason. Taxi again. Breakfast was poor. A deeply unpleasant experience from start to finish. Not recommended

Great location close to the airport. **Take note their airport shuttle only runs once a day!**. Great view of the shoreline and easy, walkable area with many great restaurants. The kind lady at the desk gave me bus directions and restaurant recommendations. Clean and comfortable, highly recommend!!!!! Souvenir shop, Stapafell is right down the street (amazing owner is super kind), along with a grocery and a great steak at Olsen Olsen! Both are a must.

The staff was super friendly, even changing my room so I would have a better view in case the northern lights would make an appearance! I had to be up super early for a flight so in-room coffee makers would be my suggestion. Otherwise staff gave me a complimentary transfer back to the airport, what more could I ask for?!

The Keilir is a very nice family owned Hotel. It is clean, safe, has good heat and fist internet. The breakfast is simple but nice and food is fresh. I have stayed at just about every hotel in Keflavik and for my money Hotel Keilir is the best value. I've spent dozens of nights there and I always look forward to my stay.
