The decor is rather eclectic, but our room was spacious and clean, which was appreciated after many cramped rooms around Iceland. The staff were especially nice and friendly, so shoutout there. The location is also very central, although be careful not to confuse this hotel with the Central Hotels, which are different (but nearby). Thanks to the staff and great location, I'd definitely stay here again.

The bed was very comfortable. We arrived at KEF at 6:30am and put in a full day in town. It was a great place to prepare for the rest of our trip. Parking and driving in center city is very difficult. A lot of one way streets with parking only in designated areas. When GPS tells you to stop and park, believe it the first time.
