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).
The room has a shared bathroom and pantry area.
- Room and bed ok The room is a bit small but sleeps comfortably. (but got to sleep for a short while because I had to get up quickly to catch the morning flight)
- When cooking, I tend to be considerate of other people. Because it also has a living area. Don't dare to cook food with strong smells.
- Shared bathrooms are few, but it's not a problem.
- The best part is being able to see the Northern Lights from the accommodation.
- Shuttle service to and from the airport is at 4500ISK/trip/1-4 people (information as of 22/9/2023)
I booked the Aurora Hotel for my last night in Iceland because I had an early flight the next day. It's super convenient, just a five-minute walk from the airport. The room size was decent; I booked a double and it was very comfortable for one person. Returning the rental car was also a breeze, as the drop-off point is about a five-minute walk from the hotel. The only downside is that there are no supermarkets or restaurants nearby. I ended up buying pizza and drinks from the small supermarket inside the airport for dinner. Breakfast was fine, with some vegetables and fruit – enough to fill you up. Overall, its proximity to the airport is the main selling point, making it perfect for anyone with an early flight.
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. 
We booked the motel for our last night in Iceland to be as close as possible to the airport. You need only 20 minutes to Keflavik. The room has everything you need for a night and it was very clean.
The telephone contact to the check-in time arrangement was very friendly and uncomplicated. Also the self-check-in and check-out was easy and easy.
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
Chose a Courtyard by Marriott next to the airport. The room was quite small, and the bathroom felt like an afterthought partition. Water would splash out during showers, so it wasn't a true wet/dry separation, but thankfully I only stayed one night and just needed a quick shower. I had to ask the front desk for toothpaste and a toothbrush, and they wouldn't bring it to the room; I had to go down and get it myself. There were no slippers provided.
It may be that Iceland's food and lodging requirements at this price cannot be too high. . . The front desk is open from 10 to 5 o'clock, other times you have to call by yourself. The room facilities are a bit old, there are not many things for breakfast, it is 10 minutes by car from the airport, the nearby supermarket restaurant is very close, and it is a walking distance.
Convenient location to get to the airport if you rent a car and need to catch early morning flights.

GGuest UserSecond 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!
GGuest UserExtremely satisfied, especially the terrace hot spring water which was very warm, and you could even see the aurora borealis while looking up. A very cost-effective stay, thumbs up to the hotel, absolutely wonderful!

GGuest UserBooked a brief 6-hour overnight stay to catch a few hours sleep & a shower between long flight days, was worth every penny. Got in just after midnight in late June & took a pic of the ocean from my balcony, beautiful! Everything was clean, comfortable, & the staff very nice & accommodating. Hotel only a couple of miles from the airport.
GGuest UserA lovely hotel, conveniently situated near keflavik airport..Stunning Deco, rooms were immaculate, and the spar facilities are second to none..We never used it as there was an extra cost.. Shame there was no view of the harbour. However, the sky from our room was spectacular..
Glitch on the system would not let me attach photos.

MMelihClean 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.
