We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport. We had an early morning flight the next morning and needed a place to stay for the night. The rooms were clean and nice.
The hotel restaurant is very good although might come as a sticker shock to some, but it is Iceland and the only hotel close to the airport. There’s no other restaurants nearby unless you want to eat at the airport. I would have to say that breakfast buffet was included in our stay and that was worthwhile

Walking distance from airport, so would stay again for proximity and convenience, as needed. Very clean hotel, modern bathrooms, but lower quality beds. Overall, a bit on the pricey side for the type of room that you get. Limited knowledge of some front desk staff members, but breakfast staff is super friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast options with extended service hours. Noon check-out is great!

Breakfast is top notch. we all want lower carb options and it has lovely tasty juicy sausages, quite salty bacon, yogurt x 3 sorts. Ratatouille is brilliant. Rooms are very clean. and we always wonder why there is no barrier at the shower so water goes all over the floor.
Tip: Remember to greet every single person that goes by the front desk. It shows concern for the guests

We stayed here for 13 hrs transfer time between our flights. Room is ok and has what we need for a night stay. Downside is there is no floor mat in the bathroom and there could be water spilling from the shower area to toilet bowl area. No fridge in room either. Very good location close to the airport especially for early morning flight. We did not eat at the restaurant (went to town for dinner and had breakfast at airport). Convenient stay to tide over the transfer time in Keflavík.

Fine for an airport hotel--rooms were dated but clean, and yes, it is a bit pricey for what you get. But it is SOOO conveniently located right between the rental car return and the airport (5 minute walk to each wihch was great on a nice day in May), you really can't beat the location. Breakfast was decent and nice that they serve in the very early morning hours to accommodate early flights.

The Aurora Airport Hotel is incredibly convenient for air travelers with late arrivals or early departures. You can even walk to it from the rental car return, about the same distance as the short walk from the airport. The staff is pleasant and late night snacks are available at the desk. The restaurant is also attuned to air travelers with lighter options and less formality than most hotel restaurants.

If you have a short layover or just want to save yourself the stress of having to get to the airport at weird hours, Aurora is a great choice. Rooms are spacious and clean, staff is very friendly. This is as close to the airport as you can get, literally a 5 minute walk. And the location is perfect for getting around the peninsula to visit Blue Lagoon, the new lava fields or even Reykjavik.

We did a 2 day stop over in Iceland on our way to France. We stayed here because we were flying out at a ridiculously early hour on the second leg of the trip. Walked over from the airport. We arrived early in the morning and the hotel charges $40 euros per room for an early check in so we did not do that but they did store our bags at the check in counter until later in the afternoon. Once we left the bags with them we walked over to the rental car place. There is free parking so we came back later that day and got our rooms. It is a good location for renting a car and exploring the southern peninsula. Lots to see. The breakfast was fine. It was your typical hotel breakfast. The front desk crew were very polite. The room and bathroom were clean and standard Europe sizes. Easy walk to the airport early in the morning for the flight out.
