Hotel Keilir by Reykjavik Keflavik Airport

Hotel Keiler is lovely, nice rooms and conveniently located in town. Staff is the best part, very friendly and helpful especially when we were in a tough travel situation working through Icelandair. Can’t thank staff enough for the help! One note, you’ll need shampoo, or may need to ask about it on arrival. A grocery store for affordable needs is just 2 min walk though!

First impressions last. Beautiful hotel and decor extremely nice. Lady at reception was so lovely , helpful and friendly . The room we had was spotlessly clean. Bed and pillows were fantastic. Shower area was delightful. All in all our stay here was fabulous. Highly unlikely we will ever be back in Reykjavik but if ever I hear of family or friends looking for great accommodation I will most definitely recommend this hotel. Many Thanks Everyone. May you have good health.

I ended up at this little hotel near the Reykjavik airport with a couple dozen other travelers from my delayed flight. The place was busy, but Bryndís handled it all like a pro. She was welcoming, calm under pressure, and kept the check-in line moving smoothly for nearly an hour while I ducked out for food. By the time I got back, she had everyone settled. On top of that, she went above and beyond for me personally. She noticed I had extra time before my flight back to Portland and suggested a quick day trip to the Blue Lagoon, a regular part of her beauty routine. She even booked me a taxi, so all I had to do was show up downstairs with my luggage. Thanks to her, I’ll be heading home not only well rested but with a memorable Icelandic experience I wouldn’t have had otherwise. Bryndís is a gem! Friendly, efficient, and genuinely cares about the guests. She made what could have been a stressful overnight stay feel easy and enjoyable. Happy early birthday, Bryndís!

We were a group staying for a couple of weeks. The hotel is very well located in downtown Keflavík, within walking distance of most amenities. The rooms are simple but functional, each with two single beds, a mini-fridge, a television, a bathroom, and a desk. Some have an outstanding view on the ocean, which is only a 1’ walk from the hotel. The receptionist, Bryndís, and the manager, Jón, were both exceptionally accommodating and very caring, consistently supporting us with logistics throughout our stay. We also developed an excellent working relationship with them, which made the experience all the more positive.

We were welcomed with great kindness and professionalism. After our flight was cancelled, our host quickly found us a comfortable room for 3 niches. A huge thank you for this precious help during a stressful moment. We highly recommend this place for its warm hospitality and efficiency.

The receptionist was quite rude/cold, I was shocked. The room shower could not close, it was broken. The rooms are relatively old, but still functional… nothing special… the rude reception ruined it for me. It was also the slowest check in ever! It’s relatively loud at night due to passing cars as well.

For a hotel that gets business from canceled/delayed Iceland Air flights, this place is woefully unprepared. Check-in took over 30 minutes and we were third in line. Communication from the reception was not just lacking but even inaccurate, and frankly, rude. The receptionist was clearly on a power trip. Always heard great things about Iceland. The Keilir hotel experience really did a disservice to Iceland’s tourism brand.

This hotel needs some serious love and renovations. Showers do not drain, bathrooms are musky and moldy. Fridge did not work. The hotel windows do not look like they have been cleaned in years. Rooms have scuffs and missing drywall. Bedding, pillows and curtains have multiple stains. The windows that open require significant effort to open as if they have been painted over. If I could not recommend this hotel to anyone.
