Close to the airport (5 min) was nice. But $350+ for a very soft twin bed and a shared bathroom was excessive. And $37 for a shuttle to the airport is also very pricey given it’s only a 5 min drive

Just a long layover stay

The hotel had emailed me the check in code for my rooms the day before since there isn't a front desk attendant. Check in went smoothly. In that email sent they said there was a charge for breakfast. I almost paid that charge but good thing I waited because the breakfast was barely anything. The hot water for the tea was cold. There was only sliced bread that you can toast and some fruit. Definitely not worth paying for. My advise is being good with you because they do have a microwave. The cleaning lady doesn't speak any English but we were able to communicate enough for her to provide a European plug adapter. The one I had did not fit their plugs. But it was quiet. Only 2 other guests I saw but pretty much empty. Room did get warm enough and shower was hot.

The only pro about the Kef guesthouse is the location in proximity to the airport. The parking lot is also an airport car park, so it is hard to find parking. Our room was dirty - hairs all in the sheets and pillows, dirt/dust all over the floor and night stand. The other guests were very noisy through all hours of the night . The curtains are not blackout, so during the summer it was light in the room all night long. Would not recommend it.

Best part was that it was very close to the airport. Our beds were clean and convenient. We booked room with private bathroom and the bathroom did have an odour, also lacked soap and shampoo which the housekeeping provided on request.

The facilities were nice, and the staff were very helpful. It’s not the Guesthouse’s fault, but transportation from the airport and to anywhere around the area is limited and pricey. I guess that’s just the nature of things there. Otherwise, my needs were satisfied.

Guesthouse provides a stopover for the airport but little else. Reception isn't necessary as the code to the room is emailed in advance. Location is in a carpark on the edge of town with no local facilities. However, the guesthouse is clean and functional and the beds were comfortable.

Great place close to the airport!

The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and they had plenty of bathrooms (3) for the number of rooms at the guesthouse. It is a great location if you need a place before an early flight out in the morning.

Bien situé mais bruyant

Situé près de l'aéroport, la majorité des clients quittent l'hôtel tôt, durant la nuit, et malheureusement très bruyamment... Si le manque de savoir-vivre des clients n'est pas de la responsabilité des propriétaires, un point d'amélioration serait d'améliorer l'isolation sonore des chambres.

good, would stay again.

this guesthouse is in a convenient and good location for the airport with an airport shuttle also! lovely man who took us to the airport. the facilities such as shower and kitchen were good. beds where comfy and rooms big enough. the only downfall was the leather headboards were coming apart and the pillows and bed become covered in leather from this which is uncomfortable and itchy.

It is like hostel; nice rooms but shared bathrooms, no amendities, but kitchen that can be used mostly all day; if you just need place to sleep. They rent cars next door, can help with taxi/tours and deliveries. Requavik is 1 hour away, Airport is 15 min away. Amazing views from this hotel.

The room is adequate and it's nice that you get an in-room sink, but there are not toilets in all rooms. All toilets and showers are together, and there are only 3 of them. It is very likely that they will all be in use at the same time, which is frustrating. It would be nice if there was even just one toilet separately to avoid this issue. They are also wet bathrooms, meaning the shower isn't fully enclosed and water gets everywhere. I found it difficult to figure out how to keep my clothes dry and also not track water everywhere after I got out. They provide a large squeegee for the floor, but it was still a challenge. You have to pay for breakfast separately and quite frankly it's not worth the extra cost. They keep refrigerated things (such as cream cheese, juice, hard boiled eggs, etc) in a cooler, which (at least when I was there) doesn't work, so they sit unrefrigerated for hours. I decided that was too risky and went for the shelf stable breakfast items, but again it wasn't really worth the extra cost. There is a large fridge in the kitchen which I used to keep a couple small items cold while I was there. The rooms themselves are adequate but basic; usually there is a TV in most places, but that was not the case here. It wasn't the end of the world, but worth mentioning. Also, it snowed quite heavily right as I was arriving and just outside the entrance door turned to ice. That was not cleared or salted by the time I left, so it was very slick. Stay in Reykjavik.
