It is a basic but complete facility. Very convenient if you need a place to stay close to the airport. Staff is very friendly. Location seems a bit weird. In the middle of a subdivision? or an industrial area?

We stayed here for 3 nights and it was very peaceful and quiet. There was loud bikes going by but mostly before 10 pm. Parking was easy. The guy here is wonderful and the cheerfulest and helpfulest guy ever. He made us feel very welcome. Conveniently 20 mins from KEF int. Airport and he was accomadating for our early morning flight in. We were able to check in at 10:30. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Good little place to stay if you have an early flight or a late arrival. Basic room but had everything we needed. To be honest the amenities where the same as the hotel we paid £500 a night for it just didn’t have the view. Very helpful host who showed us around. Great little grocery store just a few metres walk and the sea is just a few steps further. The bonus - this property has a great kitchen attached for guests use with a washing machine!!!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was nice but very small (the bathroom was mini size but is sufficient) with a very good bed and pillow. No TV but a tablet was available to browse the internet. The location is a little strange, on the edge of a industrial park. We were concerned about this when we drove up to the hotel but the nights were very quiet and it is close to the airport which was the main reason for us to choose this hotel.

Accommodating motel

Quick stay for us — good space and shared kitchen area, they made breakfast for us for a fee which we appreciated so we could focus on our vacation. I was surprised there wasn’t a tv on the room. Shower doors took some effort to figure out how to use.

Not the best.

This is not a hotel in the usual sense. Rooms are very small and sparse. No grocery store that we can see. Only one small restaurant nearby. Too simple for my tastes. Would never stay here again. Overpriced.
