Hotel Keflavik

Had an overnight stay due to missed flight. Room was very spacious and well appointed. Nice bar and lounge area. Special dinner and breakfast was prepared for the "Icelandair refugees". The regular restaurant looked very nice. Close to walking trail to the sea.

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.

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.

Throughout my stay, the fire alarms went off repeatedly often without any clear reason or follow-up explanation from staff. This made it extremely difficult to get any restful sleep or relax. Each alarm triggered an evacuation or at least a disruption, causing unnecessary stress and overall concern about the hotel's fire safety. Despite multiple complaints, the hotel staff seemed unable or unwilling to resolve the issue promptly or provide adequate communication about the cause. Overall, the persistant fire alarms severly impacted the quality of the stay, turning what should have been a comfortable visit into a frustrating and exhausting experience. I would caution future guests to consider this before booking until the hotel addresses these safety system problems effectively.

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.

The staff at this hotel went above and beyond my expectations. The rooms are immaculate. The food is delicious. The hotel itself is gorgeous. Highly recommend staying here.

Stayed for one night following a missed connection at KEF and was delighted by the experience, despite inconvenient travel circumstances. Hands down, this was the best hotel breakfast I've ever had, with clear creativity on the part of the chef with a priority for local ingredients.

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.
