IStay Cottage

Superb cottage / bungalow style hotel. It was really cozy and clean. It is very convenient as it is located within close proximity to the airport, so definitely a great place to stay if you have an early morning flight. There is also a hot tub, though we did not get to use it as we arrived too late. It also seems like a sufficiently secluded area to see the northern lights, though unfortunately there were none on the day we went.

Excellent cabin. Clean, simple, warm. Easy check in. Has a very well equipped communal kitchen. Enjoyed listening to local birds calling. Close to airport but not under flightpath. Saw the northern lights!!!! Highly recommend.

Absolutely lovely. We had a long layover and needed a place to stay for the night. The hotels were pretty expensive and this was the least expensive option. I couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The cabin was roomy and clean. We stayed in mid-June and the sun was still out around 1am (that’s when I took the picture). It had set, but it was bright. The room had black out curtains, so it was easy to sleep. The bathroom was nice. I would definitely stay there again.

This was a perfect place to stay before our early fight out of Keflavik the next morning. The cottages had everything we needed and check in/out was smooth. The tv with netflix was a nice touch to watch a movie and wind down on the last night of our trip. Bed was comfy and the bathroom was spacious and well equipped. We would definitely stay here again!

We needed a place to crash for a few hours at night and this was the cheapest and closest hotel we could find which was also close to the airport. We had booked the Twin Cottage with shared bathroom for about 145 euros. It was exactly as advertised. The room was small but perfect. The bathroom was a few steps away from the room and super clean. The common kitchen was a well stocked. The only issue was the heater which took forever to heat up the room, but the blankets were pretty warm. Please remember it’s in the middle of nowhere so no public transport or incredibly hard to find cabs. It has its own small parking lot which is great if you are driving on your own.

8 minutes drive to the airport. A set of 5 or 6 tiny house cottages. Room with a bathroom is about it but very nice. Located in a field away from most everything. Considering the proximity to the airport, never heard or saw an airplane. Drive to the rental car lot was quick and easy for an early morning flight.

We stayed at iStay Cottages on the evening of August 6, 2025. We chose to stay here due to its proximity to the Keflavik Airport and we had to be at the airport for 4:30am. The stay did begin with us not having our check-in information which we were partly to blame because I didn’t notice that it was never sent amongst all the other confirmations, etc. for this particular vacation. Unfortunately, when I tried to call, my travel SIM would not put the call through and my emails which I sent the day of our reservation went unanswered ( I later found out that the host only checks emails once a day). Thankfully the staff at Happy Camper near the airport let me use their phone and I was able to speak to the host and get everything sorted out. Apparently there is an ongoing issue with Expedia and their email messaging system. The host gave us the code for the key box and information about the use of the common space. Our cottage had a queen bed and a fold-down couch for our son, blackout blinds and a spacious bathroom with all the toiletries one would need. The common space had coffee, tea and a lot of items left by past guests which were made available for our use. There was every kitchen utensil, pot, device one could need to make a meal. There was a toaster, microwave, kettle, large fridge and stove. The beds were clean and comfortable. Although the cottages are near the airport, we rarely heard air traffic during our stay and had a great night's sleep. Check out was easy. All we needed to do was lock our door and drop the key in the drop box at the main building. We would definitely stay at this location again.

Location near the airport. We have a comfortable and restful stay in the cottage. The environment is so fresh, clean and quiet. There is Lupine just outside the room, a super nice view. We have a shared toilet with others, but the bathroom is so clean and spacious enough with a hair dryer, heater, shower gel and shampoo. Highly recommended!
