Note that It is 45min from Reykjavik but close to the Blue Lagoon (20min) and the KEF Airport (5min) so it is the perfect place to stay at when you have an early flight the next day. Several restaurants are nearby 9min drive. The room was clean and warm, several bathrooms are there to share, we had no other guests on our floor so we didn’t have any issue using them whenever we want. I recommend

It’s a strange place; located in an old military base, in a building of an old bank. If you like the beauty of local oddities, you will like it. We did. It’s very clean, and cool people stay there.

The place had self entry via key code, and that all went really well. Spacious bedroom. Kitchen a bit cramped, but a reasonably well provisioned. The television in the room could have had more explicit instructions. I never figured out how to get it to work. Considering the relatively affordable price I can recommend the place.

This place is a hoot! It is literally the paymasters office for a WW 2 US Navy base in the middle of nowhere. I do recommend it though if you have a layover between flights as a great place to crash.

I was expecting less for both the money and the reviews I read. It was actually pretty great. Perfect before flying out of KEF early the next morning. Small kitchen area with a few places to eat but had microwave and air fryer and some other kinds of hot pots. Coffee makers and such as well with coffee. Plus a cupboard of leftovers to leave or take for guests. If I was just flying in, there would've been a few items to take that would've saved money. Outgoing guests were sharing with incoming guests. The WC and showers were clean. Neat old bank building. Slept well. Use a phone app sound machine to help mitigate noise.

Poor value for money. Shared bathroom, far from airport - you need to order a taxi, room wasn't dirty but it was unkept, coffee stain on table, zero storage, collapsible bridge chair - not that the chair counts for much, but it's the perfect indicator of quality all around, room light was so dim - clearly needs replacing,...

The room was minimalistically furnished but it and the facilities were very clean, bed was good, though the mattress was a little too soft for me.

Very close to the Keflavik airport.

The building and its location had seen better days though, apparently a bank building for a former garrison(?) based on the surrounding buildings and location. Other than the airport, there is nothing noteworthy around.

False advertising

The primary photo is not of this facility. It is basically a dorm room building. Shared bathrooms and almost no breakfast. I thought I was giving my daughter somewhere special to stay for her birthday. Instead of thermal spas or at least a swimming pool, we got a building that has been compared to a prison. Do your research.

This is less of a hotel and more like military barracks. In fact I think they were. Our visit started with an abusive and aggressive taxi driver who told us that taxis are for rides to Reykjavik and we ruined his day by asking to go somewhere closer to the airport. He was rude and yelled at us the whole ride and wouldn’t let us out when we asked. But he still charged us $40. It was unclear to us when we booked that we would have a SHARED bathroom. There was no staff working there so check in was complicated and we had to call to get a code. There is nothing around this prison like hotel and the television and wifi did not work. Also, the power outlets didn’t work so we left to the airport the next morning with no charged devices. Plus, it’s not like it’s cheap, we still paid $200 to share a shower and toilet with strangers.

This place is gross. The bathroom has a shower that sort of works, no place for a normal shower head, you have to hold a small wand the whole time and the temperature controls for water temp don't function. Pretty much hovers around scalding hot the entire time. World's smallest trashcan in there that is overflowing with everyone else's garbage.

The room smelled like mold and there towels they gave me had brown stains on them. I would not stay here again.

I love this place! And I never write reviews, but I feel I can’t NOT write one. This place had exactly what we wanted and needed for a very reasonable price in an expensive country. Our room was attractive and simple. It had a mini fridge with a FREEZER section, often missing in Europe. The shared bathrooms were no problem, but could be an issue during busy season. It’s very close to the airport and Blue Lagoon. The photo makes it seem it’s connected to Blue Lagoon , which is a bit misleading. Nice kitchen area and lounge room; appreciated the peanuts and tea!

While it was clean and the beds were comfortable there was absolutely nothing within walking distance besides a bus stop. This building is part of an old military base. The views were that of a flat, treeless industrial park with chain link fences topped with razor wire. I think there was someone working there (maybe) but if that is truly the case they weren’t accessible. I only think that because we saw the same person making coffee and trying to get the coffee maker to work 2 days in a row. This seemed more like a hostel. The one towel each we were given for showering was only slightly larger than a hand towel. Our television didn’t work so once my travel partner and I were back in our rooms there was nothing to do but read or go to sleep. I searched for someone to talk to about this and couldn’t find a soul. I also sent an e-mail and never got a response. Internet was very spotty. We ended up walking to a car rental place and renting as we were literally in the middle of nowhere and felt trapped. Upon leaving I felt like we had just been released from jail. Do yourself a favor and find a hotel in the town of Keflavík if you would like to be near the airport. There are plenty that are actually within walking distance of civilization and probably have some amenities.

Good stay. Only complaint was we stayed in room 212, which i would think to be the last room to be rented out. It wasnt as the bank was not even half full. The room is the only one without shelving or a tv. The desk lamp was broken as well. I recommend the bank, but if you get room 212, ask for another.

Stayed here with our toddler to catch a few hours of shut eye when our flight landed at 0500. The guest house was so accommodating when we let them know that’s what we’d be using it for, and they let us stay an extra hour for free which was much appreciated. Close to the airport, easy check in process.

This property was clean, felt safe, and staff was great. Our biggest problem was a lack of power outlets. Only one in our room and none in the bathroom. This meant that because my boyfriend uses a sleep apnea machine we couldn’t have anything else plugged in overnight. The outlet was also far from the bed so we had to stretch the cord as far across the room as we could. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable but mattress was slanted. Would stay again for a one night place to sleep during our travels.

Relatively Cheap and Served Its Purpose

Wh had an o overnight stay before a flight. I can't imagine staying here otherwise. It's not in town but as far back of the airport as you can get- a 10 minute drive.

The room was clean with two single beds and a chair. Everything white except the window blind.

Almost all hard surfaces. Noise travelled far. Every trip by anybody to the shared bathroom was heard.

There was a shared kitchen with coffee (cappucino machines) and tea evident. Some mixed nuts were in a dish.

We did not use the kitchen as we arrived at 8:30 p.m. and were gone by 3:30 a.m.

Getting to the room was through various corridors and through the kitchen. Moving 2 heavy suitcases was cumbersome and noisy.

Bit for Iceland it was relatively cheap and it served its purpose.

Ok for short stay. Clean and cosy

It’s ok for 1 night. Very clean and warm.Cosy nice decor. That’s what we liked
In general the next time I’d choose different place. There was no any water in the morning ( for drink, washing or toalet) because of volcano eruption and we understand and didn’t complain about it but the owner wasn’t happy that people used plates for breakfast in the morning because they couldn’t wash after themselves later. Well I think people who paid for their stay have right at least to eat breakfast or use toilet. I need to add that nobody informed us earlier that there is problem with water. We found out from our driver so I resumed that the owners of this hotel knew as well
