Eldey Airport Hotel

The hotel was close to the airport so really convenient for our trip, the room was large and comfortable, breakfast was provided in the morning with a wide selection of food available including freshly cooked eggs, the staff were super helpful and available all day!

Like most of Iceland there are no consistency with basic amenities (soap, shampoo, hair dryer...). Bed was mediocre and one tiny pillow. The tv was the size of a basic laptop and 15 feet away. The neighborhood is kind of sketchy. The area looks like a cross between inner city government housing and military barracks buildings. I would only stay here in the future if nothing else was available.

We stayed one night just to be close to the airport. No other reason to stay here. In the middle of no where with nothing near. Ugly surroundings. No elevator to transport luggage. The room is clean and decently comfortable. Bathroom clean. We checked in late. Place is dated. Breakfast was very poor. At 7:40am most everything was already out. Asked multiple times if eggs or yogurt were going to be refilled and the gal tending just said in 5 mins. At 8am only sliced sandwich bread was refilled so I left. No eggs or yogurt. 20 mins to replenish and nothing done. Nor did they really care. No real service at this place. Not a good place to tour or sightsee from.

Very disappointed that the shower did not work in our room. The shuttle was over booked and we had to take an expensive taxi to the airport. I wouldn't recommend this hotel.

Nice and clean room. Good breakfast. It is perfect place to stay for a night before departure.

Staying here did the job as to supply me with shelter overnight before my flight, there were only industrial surroundings, so even if I wanted to go out and grab a bite to eat, nothing nearby, not sure if there was a restaurant in the hotel, clean beds, little run down but I guess for a quick simple sleep before a flight it worked

We loved the decor in the hotel. Pictures of the island and historical photos.

When I made my reservation, I just wanted to be close to KEF. I paid no attention to the details about the hotel. I was surprised that it looked like a barracks. But then I remembered that KEF used to be home to Naval Air Station KEF. It was fun then walking around the area and seeing so many repurposed building that looked so familiar, along with the otherwise unexpected basketball courts and golf course. Since I group up on USAF bases, if felt almost homey. The hotel itself was nice enough, even if the exterior is unappealing and the views are, well, dismal. After being immersed in the beauty of Iceland, Eldey is pretty stark. But with that said, it is clean and comfy. My room was well outfitted. No complaints at all. There is a bar as well as a nice hot tub and sauna. Finding a place to eat is another matter. There are restaurants in the area, but they are overpriced and pretty ordinary. I ended up walking (about 30 min each way) to an Orkan for Sbarro pizza. Yum, right? I would likely make another choice in the future, perhaps Reykjavik again, but it should be noted that it took no more than 10 minutes from the time I left Eldey to the point I was returning my car. Depending on one's schedule and other factors, that's awfully convenient.
