Second time staying at Start Keflavik hostel because i had great experience there. It’s near to the airport by bus/car. Bonus / Kronan supermarket are within 30 minutes walk and along the way you get to snap some nice photos of the surroundings. Staff were very friendly and helpful and i had a good chat with the Chinese lady. Very spacious, cosy and clean amenities especially the recreation room, lounge and dining hall. Guests are provided with coffee, tea and other beverages at anytime. A wonderful place highly recommended for all travellers!
I booked the Aurora Hotel for my last night in Iceland because I had an early flight the next day. It's super convenient, just a five-minute walk from the airport. The room size was decent; I booked a double and it was very comfortable for one person. Returning the rental car was also a breeze, as the drop-off point is about a five-minute walk from the hotel. The only downside is that there are no supermarkets or restaurants nearby. I ended up buying pizza and drinks from the small supermarket inside the airport for dinner. Breakfast was fine, with some vegetables and fruit – enough to fill you up. Overall, its proximity to the airport is the main selling point, making it perfect for anyone with an early flight.
Overall, it's pretty good. What really sold me was the free shuttle to the airport in the morning. The hygiene was decent, and the room was spacious enough. The heating worked great in winter. The only downside was the showerhead; the water flow was just a trickle, which made showering a bit frustrating.
For food, there's a convenient food hall and a FoodDeli (with a small supermarket) nearby. I'd actually recommend the slightly further food hall for better taste and more options.
If you're prioritizing airport convenience, you might consider the Aurora Hotel. It's just a few hundred meters walk, super convenient. My friend booked there and could totally sleep in an extra half hour. I only found out when it was too late to change my reservation, which was a bummer.
Very good hotel, excellent location, large public areas and very warm feeling. The room was the largest we stayed in Iceland and could easily spread out 2 boxes. Opposite is the lighthouse, the weather is clear, you can see the aurora directly from the window (sea view room can, the other side will have the light pollution of the airport). The hotel drives 10 kilometers to the airport and will pass a small town.
The booking told me I would get 1 x airport transfer, once arriving I found out this was false advertising. The only reason I booked DUUS was for the transfer, so this was extremely disappointing. The hotel staff couldn’t have been less helpful, everyone just kept telling me that didn’t work there.
As the first stop hotel in Iceland 🇮🇸, the overall feeling is good.
Because 8/4 Check in at 8 o'clock in the morning, the front desk almost didn't let check in, because I had to check out at 11 o'clock. . →8/3 Arrived in Iceland in the morning. After that, please: have breakfast and return something.
The front desk is finally OK ... service desk service, room cleanliness, lighting, basic facilities are good, like one 👍
A lovely hotel, conveniently situated near keflavik airport..Stunning Deco, rooms were immaculate, and the spar facilities are second to none..We never used it as there was an extra cost.. Shame there was no view of the harbour. However, the sky from our room was spectacular..
Glitch on the system would not let me attach photos.
Extremely satisfied, especially the terrace hot spring water which was very warm, and you could even see the aurora borealis while looking up. A very cost-effective stay, thumbs up to the hotel, absolutely wonderful!
Clean but very small room. Window was rusted and could not be fully closed. Would be nice to have a few more shelves/racks. Excellent early breakfast for early flights.
Very Good

GGuest UserThe distance from Keflavik Airport is quite a dilemma. While it's walkable, you'd be walking through a dark, unlit wilderness at night, which can be scary. I'd advise women, children, and the elderly to avoid it. If you opt for a taxi, it takes less than 5 minutes from the airport but costs around 2000 yen, which feels like a waste.
The hotel itself is fantastic, as expected from a Marriott property. The staff service is excellent, and the room and amenities are top-notch.
The only issue is the distance from the airport. It would be a great choice for those who are renting a car.
GGuest UserBooked a brief 6-hour overnight stay to catch a few hours sleep & a shower between long flight days, was worth every penny. Got in just after midnight in late June & took a pic of the ocean from my balcony, beautiful! Everything was clean, comfortable, & the staff very nice & accommodating. Hotel only a couple of miles from the airport.
