Very convenient location only 15 mins away from KEF airport especially as we had an extremely early departure flight. Also our check in time was much earlier than the listed time and the hotel allowed us early check in which we were very grateful for after a long flight over to Iceland. There is a restaurant on site with amazing food so you don’t have to go very far for dinner.

Nice place! Great rooms and bubbly joyous staff members where a delight at check-in. Every room smells amazing and the modern aesthetic mixed with the log cabin walls are a unique vibe. My only disappointment was that I booked this place for it's Noon check-out time - to catch up on sleep. But, starting at 7-8am all you'd hear is people letting their doors slam shut mixed with a large commotion of cleaning staff immediately went to clean the rooms. Bring earplugs.

Clean and spacious rooms with reasonably comfortable beds and decent amenities. Good breakfast and convenient parking. Somewhat terse staff, uninteresting surrounding area and expensive in-house dinning were some notable detractors. Overall acceptable accommodations for a night before or after a flight.

We visited Iceland several times and had stayed at different hotels. We booked this hotel this time due to its exceptional reviews. Disappointedly, we found it to be totally overpriced and overrated, especially the breakfast which is worse than those at Super 8 motel chains in U.S ! Even those much cheaper hotels nearby had way better food selections. While we didn’t mind having to bus our utensils after eating, kitchen staff could use a little smile and friendliness!The room is dark and amenities are minimal. Although we didn’t see the northern light, the location could be good for it. I would not recommend this hotel.

In a quiet area approximately 15 min north of the Keflavik International Airport, and about an hour's drive from Reykjavik, the Lighthouse Inn provided an excellent reprieve. The property was impeccably clean, staff were friendly and helpful and thechreakfast was fresh and plentiful.

Lovely stay in a charming location near the historic lighthouse. The staff were a delight and incredibly helpful during my stay. I wish I could have spent more time during daylight hours to walk the coastline and enjoy the restaurant, though the overall accommodation was perfect for my last night in Iceland. I will definitely be back!
