Aurora Hotel at Reykjavik-Keflavik Airport Terminal KEF

We had the family room for 4 and it was great! The airport is right across (2 minutes walk) and the breakfast exceeded our expectations (hot breakfast with eggs, sausages and beans). Just what we needed for an overnighter before our early morning flight.

We just stayed on the 4th floor of the Aurora Hotel in a 3 bed family room. Here are the facts: The room furniture appeared new or nearly new and was tastefully decorated. It was not worn out. The beds were twin size width-exactly 38" wide. In the US, two twin beds put together equal a California King bed. The heating/temperature in the room is easily controlled by turning the knob located in the lower right corner of the radiator. It can be turned off. A window is easily openable for cold outside air if desired. Our room directly faced the main road into the airport. Surprisingly, the flights stopped around 8PM and did not resume until the next morning making the noise level almost negligible. The windows are surprisingly noise resistent anyway, so it didn't matter, since it is so quiet. The shower has only a half glass door partition, a bad choice by the remodelers of the bathroom and water can splash easily onto the main floor of the bathroom. However, this can be mostly remedied by placing a rolled towel at the entrance into the shower but you will still probably get some splash onto the floor. A key fact: the distance from the entrance of the hotel to the nearest corner of the terminal building was measured by me to be 267 yards or 801 feet or 244 meters. It is not, and I repeat, not 300 feet or 100 meters or anything close to it. This was measured in the straightest path possible since most people would choose not to crawl over 3 foot piles of lava rock landscaping.

Perfect layover accommodations. Car rentals next door and walk to the airport. Breakfast included was excellent with a variety of choices for the whole family.

200m/220yd walk to terminal from front door. Staff got us into the room early, which was especially helpful as we were traveling with kids. Room was clean and sizable, curtains were dark, and the bathroom was spotless. Would definitely recommend for early morning flight out convenience.

The family room was spacious and clean. The hotel is in close proximity to the airport and car rental offices.

I thought this hotel was conveniently located. It was incredibly loud, doors slamming, kids yelling, and lots of noise in hallways. The overnight desk attendant was very rude. On a positive note, the morning / afternoon desk attendant was very kind and helpful. I’ll probably spend a little more and stay at hotel Keflavik next time.

Great location, horrible service and old room. Had to stay here for a flight in the morning. Small rooms old bed. We were traveling for 2 families. Hotel has no place to sit beside your rooms. We sat in the lobby and were told this was part of the restaurant and not open to sitting, we would have to order food from the restaurant. Stay here only if you need to. Staff did not seem to care about much.

Our family had a great experience at this hotel. Compared to other airport hotels we’ve stayed at, it was on the better end. Very clean, friendly staff, good food & comfy bed. Just what we needed after missing out connecting flight.
