What guests think

At Reykjavik Lights Hotel by Keahotels, travelers consistently praise the friendly, helpful staff, very clean spaces, and a generous included breakfast, while noting an out‑of‑center location with easy tour pickups, nearby dining, and ample free parking.

Buses and tour pickups make getting around straightforward, though service can be sparse on weekends and the walk to downtown is around 20–30 minutes. Rooms are modern and comfortable with some nice views, but bathrooms are small, the half-glass showers can splash water, and some guests found rooms warm or had minor noise or stair access quirks. Overall, expect a well-run, good-value base, especially if you have a car.

Great modern hotel, lots of choices at breakfast, staff very helpful. Just outside Reykjavik but this means you're the last hotel pick up of the morning & first drop off at the end of the Golden Circle tours.

The hotel was very clean, modern, and comfortable. Little touches like the wrap around desk, closet space, and fold out luggage rack made the small space seem much bigger. Easy and free parking. Pizza restaurant downstairs was excellent. It would be great if it was a little closer to downtown, but it was still very easy to drive or take the bus.

They suggested restaurants, they stored our luggage, they gave great advice on where to visit and on the Hop On Hop Off bus service, purchased tickets for us. The list goes on and on. The staff made our trip so much better because of all their help.

We began by meeting Elena while entering the hotel before check in time. She was very helpful and stored our luggage while we went out for the day. She gave us clear instructions on how to locate the transportation we were looking for and said she would let us know when our room was ready. Shortly afterwards, we received an email saying our room was ready. The lobby, room and all facilities were extremely clean and the stay came with an excellent buffet breakfast. On our last day, our flight was delayed and Elena once again was helpful in changing our transportation to the airport and suggesting a garden within walking distance to fill our time while waiting. She was one of the best we have ever encountered at a hotel front desk We would highly recommend this hotel.

This was a nice hotel! It is on the smaller side if you bring a full set of luggage but there enough room to pack and unpack. The staff was very helpful: storing our luggage before check in, giving us city directions, calling a cab for us, and even giving us recommendations on where to eat in the area. The breakfast was delicious and very good! Sure, it doesn't have the waffle makers or the omelet stations but there was plenty to eat and the staff replenished the food timely, cleared the tables, and offered great service. Luckily, the summers (we visited in July) there aren't as hot so we opened the window in our room if it got stuffy or warm and it helped cool the room at night since there is no ac. I'm more of a hot bodied person and sweat easily but just opening the window kept me comfortable at night. Great staff and simple lobby and sitting area. Loved it! Oh, and we ate at both restaurants adjacent to the hotel on either side. The pizza place was delicious! Talk about great pizza and I highly recommend their Caesar salad!! And the cute organic deli with quiches, soups, and salads were delicious too! The flybus from the airport also dropped us off in front of the hotel as it's one of the stops from the airport.

When we tried to sign in there were 5 people ahead of us with 1 worker and 1 woman watching her- maybe training her? We waited for 10 min to be signed in. When we got to the room the door to the bathroom doesn’t shut properly. We could hear all of the people in other rooms having to slam their doors shut to close them. The general area is dumpy around the hotel. Breakfast was the saving grace for this hotel.

Great place to stay. The area has several restaurants in walking distance and is only a five minute drive downtown. The hotel staff are very friendly. Loved the complimentary breakfast with a variety of delicious and fresh options. Great value. If you don’t rent a car but want to spend a lot of time downtown, you might want to spend the extra money to be downtown but if you have a car, this is perfect.

I would deathly recommend staying at this hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, breakfast was good. It’s not super close to downtown but easy access to a bus stop and if you’re OK walking a little over a mile you could be in downtown in no time via a very safe walking path. This was the only hotel on our trip where I did feel a little unsafe. It had nothing to do with the hotel, there were just some shady characters outside. The hotel had several safety protocols like having to swipe your room key to use the elevator so they obviously take safety as a priority. Ultimately for the price and convenience, really nice place to stay.

This was a great find. We went next door to Olifa to have dinner, which was incredible. It was close to the pharmacy and grocery store. The bus stop was right by the hotel. The check in process was quick and easy with the friendly staff. Our room was clean and had plenty of space for our luggage. Breakfast was delicious. It had the standard meat, cheese, pastries, fruit and we actually tried the cod liver oil shot. When in Rome! The only thing I had trouble with was the soap in the bathroom. You have to squeeze the bottles, which is hard to do when you have arthritis. I would absolutely book another stay here.
