What guests think

Travellers describe Aurora Hotel at Reykjavik-Keflavik Airport Terminal KEF as a clean, no-frills airport stop with extremely easy walking access to the terminal and generally friendly, efficient service at reception, ideal for late arrivals or early departures.

Rooms are generally quiet and functional, but many note basic furnishings, occasional uncomfortable mattresses, minimal in-room amenities (often no fridge), and warm rooms due to no A/C. Breakfast starts around 4:00 and is often praised for variety and convenience, while the on-site restaurant for dinner is considered handy but limited and expensive, with mixed food quality. Many feel the hotel is pricey for its simple offering, and aside from the airport there’s little else nearby. Best suited for a short layover or pre/post-flight night when proximity matters most.

Location: A quick, easy walk from KEF airport. Convenience: We arrived at KEF early and were able to easily stow our luggage at the hotel before check-in. This let us take the FlyBus into Reykjavík for the day. Room: Quiet, comfortable, plenty of space for two adults and two teenagers. Breakfast: Open early, excellent choices, a great start before our travel. Staff: Very friendly, helpful. Would absolutely stay again.

With the cold winds it would be nice to have a shuttle bus run between the hotel and the airport.

The property was as advertised. Within walking distance of the airport terminal, it was a very clean well maintained albeit basic hotel. Restaurant facilities were limited, and it stood in isolation from other facilities.

If you need to stay overnight at the airport, this place is perfect. Just realize that there is NOTHING else nearby. Iceland has very little travel options so, your only food options are at the hotel. The room has nice hardwood floors and is decently large. The beds are two singles pushed together, which isn't great, but it's fine. No AC, and while Iceland is often cold, if you do open the window then you'll hear the noisy airport.

Had no sleep due to discomfort and back pain from the very narrow sagging beds which were more like camping cots than beds. These beds are not fit to support the body of a normal size male or female. The hotel didn’t acknowledge the problem- apparently it’s all in my head. In order to get compensation, an Expedia agent asked me for a doctor’s report of my discomfort because the hotel denied a problem with the cots. I paid for normal beds not for cots with sagging mattresses. Shockingly low standards that I have never encountered anywhere in Europe. Wifi was very weak and unpredictable, couldn’t check into my flight. Had to call twice the front desk and wasted a lot of time before they gave me a staff password that worked. Stay away.

My only complaint is that some sort of alarm (smoke?) emitted a very bright light every few seconds. When one is trying to sleep, a dark bedroom is best. I also have a pet peeve with the LED lights on TVs.

Chose the Aurora for its convenient location. If arriving and going direct, be sure to exit the airport on the 'departures' side for the shortest walk. Bedrooms were pretty lackluster but fine for overnight. No mini fridge and the hotel would benefit in providing them for food/drink storage. Otherwise was pleasantly surprised with the breakfast and latte machine. Lots of hot and cold options.

The staff was nice and the hotel was clean. Having breakfast included in our stay was convenient. Everything else was quite minimal for the price you pay. The mattresses felt well used and the blankets barely fit the bed itself. Towels were also quite small. However it was convenient to the airport for departinf the next day.

La chambre était spacieuse, propre et confortable, et le repas correct. Le personnel, dans son ensemble, s’est montré aimable et professionnel. En revanche, nous avons été extrêmement déçus par l’attitude de la jeune femme en charge de la nuit. Son comportement a été irrespectueux et dédaigneux le soir et le matin : elle a ri à nos remarques et n’a commencé à parler français qu’en fin de discussion, alors qu’elle savait depuis le départ que nous étions francophones. Cette attitude inacceptable a entaché la fin de notre séjour et laisse un souvenir amer, ce qui est vraiment regrettable compte tenu de la qualité de l’établissement et de l’amabilité du reste du personnel.

As with most airport hotels, its expensive for what you get. However, the airport is a LONG bus ride from Reykjavik so it's good if you have an early or late flight. Location is best described as "in the airport parking lot" rather than at the terminal, so be prepared!
