Had no sleep due to discomfort and back pain from the very narrow sagging beds which were more like camping cots than beds. These beds are not fit to support the body of a normal size male or female. The hotel didn’t acknowledge the problem- apparently it’s all in my head. In order to get compensation, an Expedia agent asked me for a doctor’s report of my discomfort because the hotel denied a problem with the cots. I paid for normal beds not for cots with sagging mattresses. Shockingly low standards that I have never encountered anywhere in Europe. Wifi was very weak and unpredictable, couldn’t check into my flight. Had to call twice the front desk and wasted a lot of time before they gave me a staff password that worked. Stay away.

If you need to stay overnight at the airport, this place is perfect. Just realize that there is NOTHING else nearby. Iceland has very little travel options so, your only food options are at the hotel. The room has nice hardwood floors and is decently large. The beds are two singles pushed together, which isn't great, but it's fine. No AC, and while Iceland is often cold, if you do open the window then you'll hear the noisy airport.

husam

the place is ok - the only good thing about it is it’s walking distance to the airport- that’s why they can get those sky high prices- otherwise it’s just a way over priced holiday inn- I will never take a plane that lands in Iceland anymore Bad airport - town is hour away - nowhere around there to buy anything- just my opinion.
