Hotel Keflavik

The sound isolation is very bad. You can hear everything going on in the corridor or next room. Additionally the bar located next to the hotel is very noisy, especially on weekends. A good word should be said about the personnel, they are great and very supportive, constantly apologizing about the noise, that is of course not in their fault or in their hands to change it.

Hotel is situated near the waterfront. The decor is very nice and fancy looking lots of mirrors give the illusion of making the space look bigger. They have a nice atrium area for relaxing. Breakfast was decent.

When you walk into the lobby it gives you the impression that it’s a very high end place to stay. When you get to your room….not so much. Room is small but fine for a one night stay especially if flying out early the next day. Beds comfortable and room clean. Which are two of the most important things for a one night stay in my opinion. Decor is tacky as seen in attached photo. Wall paper of fake rocks. Shower was hot but leaked into entire bathroom…under toilet and in front of sink. Had to face the shower head more towards the wall to get the flooding to stop. Also, no trash in the bathroom. Only trash can in room was between chair in the corner and the desk. Didn’t stay for breakfast because we had to be to the airport early.

We missed our connection on Icelandair and the airline put us up at the Hotel Keflavik for the night. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. The staff was gracious and very helpful. The room was very nice with a great bed and shower. It is near the waterfront and we were able to take a long walk on the waterfront trail, including climbing up on the bluff with a profusion of wildflowers. In the afternoon, we enjoyed wonderful massages at the spa located onsite. The spa facility is fantastic. We ended the day with a very good meal at The Kef, their onsite restaurant. It has a great kitchen. Breakfast the next morning was very good as well. I highly recommend Hotel Keflavik.

Pros|Beds are very comfortable.|Hotel is well located for a quick journey to Keflavik airport.|Cocktails are very nice.||Cons||Hotel room was very very small. Our double room consisted of two single beds pushed together with separate duvets. Worst of all, the rooms were NOT SOUNDPROOF despite this being communicated on the website. We could hear the toilets flushing in the room next to us (we heard worse but I don't want to delve further into that trauma!)||We were very disappointed to find out our "exclusive access" to the hotel spa required a fee of 6000Kr per person. Staff did not explain this until we arrived at the spa expecting to be able to relax in the evening. This additional cost for guests is not listed on any website/booking system for Hotel Keflavik. Access is also not solely for guests :0||Guests did not have exclusive access to gym facilities as this also incurred an additional charge. I've never been to a hotel which charged usage of the gym which was shocking. There also did not appear to be any option to pay for use of gym facilities for a single day.||There were areas of the hotel which had exposed wiring hanging from the ceiling. I did catch my head on it once when I was watching my footing. This was slightly hazardous and not something I'd expect to find which wasn't cordoned off (see pic)||On third day of our stay, our room keys stopped working for an unknown reason. Staff was able to resolve this issue quickly at reception.||Overall the hotel is 3 stars at best. I would not stay here again.

The hotel looks fancy and quirky with cool statues and paintings/photos on the walls. The room was clean and had the usual things. My 2 gripes, 1 the TV didn't work in the room, and 2 if your a larger person from a twig you will have fun using the toilet as it's been jammed between the shower glass and the basin with a glass shelf at head height. The restaurant was amazing and I would 100% recommend going for that alone.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Our only regret was not having more time there. The staff was wonderful and helpful, the rooms were spotless and comfy, and the bathroom was large with a great shower. We had the family suite and it was all set up for us and our 3 kids upon our arrival. There were plenty of towels and beds already made up. Also the breakfast was AMAZING! Unfortunately we had to make it fast in order to catch our flight but it was a beautiful spread and so delicious!!!

The hotel is wonderful. The breakfasts are awesome. If the room gets too hot, the window opens a little bit to cool the room down. When we go back we will definitely stay again.
