Rooms are frequently small with tight bathrooms, though beds are comfortable. Facilities are basic: the hot tub may be unavailable or require an extra fee, there is no on-site pool, and parking is easy. The location is convenient for Keflavík Airport and the Blue Lagoon but options to eat or shop nearby are limited, so a car helps. Suited to short, no-frills stopovers.

We did a 16 day Ring Road tour of Iceland and this was the last of 10 hotels we stayed in. We were happy with every other hotel we stayed in. This room was too small for comfort. The bathroom was tiny; using the shower flooded the entire bathroom floor. It is located in an industrial area with neither pleasant views nor useful services nearby. While the room itself was clean, the mugs for tea/coffee were not. They advertised a hot tub, but an email we received a couple days before check-in announced that if we wanted to use it there would be a 25 euro upcharge.

Unfortunately the hottub was not available and still under construction. Would be nice to not promote with that add on if its actually not available. The overall experience is very good.

Don’t let the exterior fool you, the rooms are very spacious and clean. Parking is very easy and right out front. Check in was easy. Not a lot to do in the area, but location is very convenient for the airport if you have an early flight the next day.

I was very disappointed with my stay at this guesthouse. The room was extremely small and cramped and the bathroom was no better — definitely not as spacious or comfortable as the pictures on the booking site suggest. The photos are quite misleading and do not reflect the reality of the accommodations. There is no swimming pool contrary to what the listing implies and the hot tub is not included in the price of your stay. The owner charges an additional €25 if you want to use it which feels unreasonable given the already high cost of the stay. The location is also quite poor unless you specifically need to be near KEF airport. There’s one restaurant nearby and a convenience store but that’s about it — very limited options. Overall, this place is severely overpriced for what it offers. I would not stay here again and would not recommend it unless you are in a pinch and just need to be near the airport.

Great little motel - clean, new and updated, has a fully stocked shared kitchen (even has an air-fryer). Small shower, but had the best shower head and pressure of all our hotels in Iceland all week. Highly recommend this motel. It was a great find for our last day in Iceland - wish we had found it earlier in our travels.

This hotel is about a 20-minute drive from the airport, on the way to Reykjavík, in a quiet coastal town with one store and restaurant. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, which made our stay enjoyable. There were a few mix-ups with transportation and the hot tub, but the hotel was clean and comfortable. The shared kitchen was well stocked, and we really appreciated the host’s kindness, he even offered us medicine when he heard we had a cold.

Communication from the property was exceptional. I knew everything I need to know and queries were responded to rapidly. The property is exactly what is need and as described. A perfect place to stop over for the night , a kitchen and hot tub! Everything in the room needed to fix a hot drink. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed a good nights sleep. Located a few minutes from the main road you can’t beet the convenience. There is a small store across the road and a lovely walk around the harbour wall just down the street.

The room was fine but there's a ight right outside the room. It's so bright and it was impossible to block it at night in our window. There's two hot tubs but only one was open and it was too dirty to go in so that was a bummer.

Auf den ersten Blick war alles sauber, aber vielleicht auch mal Staub putzen, auch unter dem Bett. Unser Bett hat bei jeder Bewegung gequietscht und es wat super hellhörig. Über uns war es unfassbar laut, wir haben kaum geschlafen. Es wurde was von Pool geschrieben aber wo dieser war, wussten wir nicht und hatten auch keine Info darüber. Das Zimmer war spartanisch eingerichtet, für eine Nacht aber vollkommen ok.

The room was nice but very small (the bathroom was mini size but is sufficient) with a very good bed and pillow. No TV but a tablet was available to browse the internet. The location is a little strange, on the edge of a industrial park. We were concerned about this when we drove up to the hotel but the nights were very quiet and it is close to the airport which was the main reason for us to choose this hotel.

The room was small but had a table to eat at and most everything one would need. But there was no hand towel and no hair dryer. Shower pressure was good. Location within 15 minutes from the airport made it a convenient and economical stop for our last night. No restaurant near by but a grocery store a short walk away and the property provides a kitchen to guests with a fridge, microwave and burner. Communication from the property manager was slow, otherwise this would have been rated a 5.

Richard, the host and owner was extremely kind, friendly and accommodating. We were lucky enough to go during a not so busy time and we were able to also use his services for pick up and drop off to the airport and couple other attractions. The place is located about 15-20 minutes from The Blue Lagoon and about 30 to 40 minutes from Reykjavík, so depending on what your plans are it could be a convenient location (about 15-20 minutes) to Keflavik International Airport.

Arctic Wind is a great place to stay, especially if you want to be outside of Reykjavik or closer to the airport or Blue Lagoon. The rooms are well appointed with every element considered to make for a comfy, easy stay. The beds are top notch and we slept well, even in the long daylight period of year (thanks to the blackout curtains as well). Ryszard is fantastic and made our stay even easier, giving us the tour of the room and all amenities, helping with airport transportation, and pointing us to the nearby restaurant before it closed for the night. Vogar is a very small town but the people are all friendly and welcoming and made this one-night stay the highlight of our two-part visit to Iceland.

Dear Team, I am writing to raise a concern regarding our check-in experience. I notified you one day in advance as instructed, including requesting the hot tub. However, when we arrived around 17:30, the room door was locked, the keys were not accessible as described, and the hot tub was not ready. There was no immediate assistance available, and the weather conditions that day were very poor, which made the situation particularly uncomfortable. This did not align with the check-in instructions provided and resulted in a very disappointing experience. I would appreciate your explanation and advice on how this can be resolved. Kind regards, Wilson

The site does not make it clear that there are no food and restaurants around. The motels site also makes it look like there is a shuttle service as part of the motel, but it’s only if you pay and it is expensive. Normally when a hotel rates there is shuttle service , it is part of the service and not a separate payment. I have an issue with food and did not know no food was around. I could not possibly stay there due to physical and medical reasons and they charged me even though I did not end up staying there and there was no negotiating with them. The property itself is very nice if you want a quiet place in the middle of nowhere with no shops around.

We did a 16 day Ring Road tour of Iceland and this was the last of 10 hotels we stayed in. We were happy with every other hotel we stayed in. This room was too small for comfort. The bathroom was tiny; using the shower flooded the entire bathroom floor. It is located in an industrial area with neither pleasant views nor useful services nearby. While the room itself was clean, the mugs for tea/coffee were not. They advertised a hot tub, but an email we received a couple days before check-in announced that if we wanted to use it there would be a 25 euro upcharge.

There are no shops or restaurants in Vogar; but presumably if you’re thinking of staying here you have a car, and Keflavik and Reykjavik are a short drive away, so you just need to plan ahead. All nice with good communication.

Small room with a comfortable bed. Tiny market across the street was convenient but minimal. Only one restaurant in the area, but it was very good. Wish this place offered a little more extras, like breakfast and more than just one roll of toilet paper. The location was great. It was close to the airport and easy to get to Reykjavik, too. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe.

Enjoyed my stay here. The hotel is located in a quiet residential neighborhood that’s located close to the airport. I also really liked the on-site kitchen as it was very well stocked with a microwave, refrigerator, stove, kitchen utensils etc.

A great place for a quick stop off close to the airport. This isn’t a hotel in the traditional sense but a well maintained rooms and good service. Not much in the area so having a car is a good idea. Thank you for an easy hassle free stay.

Richard, the host and owner was extremely kind, friendly and accommodating. We were lucky enough to go during a not so busy time and we were able to also use his services for pick up and drop off to the airport and couple other attractions. The place is located about 15-20 minutes from The Blue Lagoon and about 30 to 40 minutes from Reykjavík, so depending on what your plans are it could be a convenient location (about 15-20 minutes) to Keflavik International Airport.

Dining
Very limited dining nearby (often just one restaurant and a small store); some guests bought a paid breakfast, and the shared kitchen supports self-catering.

This is not a hotel in the usual sense. Rooms are very small and sparse. No grocery store that we can see. Only one small restaurant nearby. Too simple for my tastes. Would never stay here again. Overpriced.

The room was small but had a table to eat at and most everything one would need. But there was no hand towel and no hair dryer. Shower pressure was good. Location within 15 minutes from the airport made it a convenient and economical stop for our last night. No restaurant near by but a grocery store a short walk away and the property provides a kitchen to guests with a fridge, microwave and burner. Communication from the property manager was slow, otherwise this would have been rated a 5.

Liked the community kitchen… great for eating take out as a family.. the room was nice… beds cozy and parking was spacious and readily available…. Poor communication on how to take advantage of the paid breakfast also appeared to have a hot tub but not filled or open… tried to get our room made after the first night but not certain how to make that happen. The local restaurant called Kim Yongs wings was great for takeout and the owner was very personable

This hotel is about a 20-minute drive from the airport, on the way to Reykjavík, in a quiet coastal town with one store and restaurant. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, which made our stay enjoyable. There were a few mix-ups with transportation and the hot tub, but the hotel was clean and comfortable. The shared kitchen was well stocked, and we really appreciated the host’s kindness, he even offered us medicine when he heard we had a cold.

We appreciated that we were greeted by the owner after we found our own unit (listed on a blackboard) who advised us about the hours of the small grocery store and the restaurant available in the town. The room is quiet and cosy and the property is lovely. A hot tub experience is available on request. The shared kitchen had apples (we took a couple) and a refrigerator and many appliances for making food, but we did not take advantage of the opportunity. We choose this property because we had arrived in Iceland at 6 am and after a coffee in the airport drove to the Blue Lagoon. Arctic Wind is not too far from Blue Lagoon and we knew we would be very tired (ie we didn't want to drive too far). Overall virtually no complaints but having spent more than a week on the Ring Road since the stay at Arctic Wind it is slightly on the expensive side.

Quick stay for us — good space and shared kitchen area, they made breakfast for us for a fee which we appreciated so we could focus on our vacation. I was surprised there wasn’t a tv on the room. Shower doors took some effort to figure out how to use.

We stayed one night. Very clean space. Had a shared kitchen that was well stocked and very clean. Hot tub was not on due to severe cold weather and sub freezing temps risking freezing of water pipes. Nearby eating options extremely limited. Although we didn’t see the northern lights, the town had an excellent viewing area.

The owner Richard was very kind, attentive and helpful. He transported me from and to the KEF airport. Although the room was not big, but clean and quiet. The bed was quite comfortable. A market was steps away, very convenient. It was a pleasant stay for me!
