Minimalist Hotel with GREAT LOCATION!
Found out after the fact that this was the ONLY hotel located at THIS airport so got very very lucky.
Not fancy, very minimalist when it came to room amenities (towels, soap, etc) but restaurant and service was very good, and hotel definitely was convenient to the Iceland International Airport. Would not hesitate to book again.

Convenient
Convenient having the hotel just steps away from the airport as my departing flight was so early in the morning. I also appreciated the 4am breakfast time.

Perfect Stay Near the Airport for Late Arrivals
Only a 5-minute walk from the airport. We landed at midnight and were very happy that the accommodation was close to the airport, easy to find, had kind staff, and offered an early breakfast service starting at 4:00 a.m.
Highly recommended if you arrive in Iceland late at night.

Basic airport hotel, large rooms, but no A/C so any type of warm weather and the rooms are uncomfortable to sleep. Very close to the airport terminal, so easy to walk with luggage to check in. Close to rental car returns. The in house restaurant is convenient but very lacklustre menu.

Aurora stop over.
We stayed there for the second time because we had an early flight, this is a good airport accommodation if you leave early or get in late. Room, bed and amenities are comfortable. Foods available but not setting the world on fire. We would stay here again. Literally a 10 minute stroll to the airport.

CONVENIENT COMFORTABLE AND CLEAN
After a lomg flight it was great to arrive late at night and just be a few steps away from a nice shower and ever so comfy bed. The very good breakfast buffe is available from 4:00 am which is very handy for early morning flights. It is a bit pricey but worth it.

The hotel is good for a quick overnight stay close to the airport. The free breakfast is more than adequate. The room was clean and warm.
