The hotel is walking distance from the airport. It was clean and comfortable and exactly what we needed arriving late into Reykjavik. The breakfast was also very good and conveniently located in the hotel.

Reviewed By Vahid R

Our room wouldn't lock and the hotel never sent anyone to fix it so we were stuck since we didn't want to leave our belongings. We couldn't get another hotel so late. Music blasts from the hotel until 3am so if you are trying to catch an early flight good luck. Also the phone didn't have power and the room completely lost power in the middle of the night. Too bad because every other hotel for the past week has been astounding. Also what is with the 5 star plaque next to the elevator when online it says 4 star hotel?

What a lovely stay at the Hotel Berg. So sorry it was only one night but a great way to end our stay in Iceland. We stayed in. Standard room and it was spacious and comfy. A lovely rooftop spa and then drinks by the fireside. Kayla was so welcoming at the front desk! The entire staff was pleasant and helpful! And an airport shuttle for free!

good hotel near the airport

Reviewed By Warren V

Our flight arrived at 10pm, so we wanted a hotel near the airport and this was a good choice. We had a fairly large room, big enough for three single beds (smaller than US twin beds), two sitting chairs, a desk and desk chair. The beds are rather firm, not that comfortable, but typical for Iceland. The room had a mini-fridge. There was an a small closet but no chest of drawers. Presumably most people are staying just one night, either before or after their flight. The bathroom was quite nice with an open shower and toiletries. The lobby has a nice small bar area. Overall for a basic hotel it has a nice ambience. There is plenty of parking on all sides of the hotel. We didn't try the restaurant and were too late for breakfast, so I can't comment on the food, but the continental breakfast was not included in our rate. Service was friendly and the hotel is well maintained. The hotel is decent value for the money.

Fantastic Accommodation

Reviewed By Alan W

I had the pleasure of staying here for one night before catching a flight back to London the following morning. I travelled from Fjordur to Keflavik on the bus numbered 55. It stopped about 10 minutes away from the Guest House. I was provided with a key door code a few days before my booking date. My room was small but it gad everything I needed. There was a shared bathroom facility and tea and coffee making facilities in the shared kit hen area. I spent time I the Lounge and it was lovely. I made my reservation directly with the guest house and I was able to grab a free lift from the Owner to the Airport. This accommodation is modern and it represents outstanding value for mk ey. I'd definitely recommend it to travellers.

Extra-special guesthouse!

Reviewed By GlobePedaler

We had a fantastic short stay at Guesthouse1x 6, thanks to the warm, wonderful welcome we received from Andi and Yuki. Our room was super clean and comfy and we loved the hot pool. We had to leave for the airport really early or we would definitely indulged in the fabulous breakfast. Yuki served us divine chocolates and Andi made me the best cappuccino of our 12 days in Iceland. The personalized welcome, the cool artwork, and the location all made for a special experience, and we can’t recommend Guesthouse 1 x 6 more highly!

A cut above other airport hotels

For an airport hotel this is surprisingly good. Clean modern rooms with tea, coffee and toiletries. The rooms were spacious and comfy. The only downside for me was kitchen was closed too early and the distance form airport is around 4 km but other than that i enjoyed my stay and feel that it is likely the best airport hotel i have stayed in.

Overpriced and misleading hotel dscription

Reviewed By nkerle

we recently spent a night at the Jazz, prior to an early morning flight. We had a family room (with a camping bed for our son). It cost 202 Eur - in our view excessive for a simple 3 star place without a reception (you get in with an access code). Wifi also did not work (the network was on and off visible, but we were unable to connect). Worst part, however, is that on the booking portal description (e.g. hotels.com, where we booked) it listed "Airport shuttle, Airport drop-off service" under main amenities. To me this means that they provide a shuttle, as many airport hotels do. At the Jazz they leave you a phone number to call a taxi, which costs 22 Euro extra - utterly annoying at that price level. The room was overall ok and clean, though the old wooden window frames were drafty, and signs of wear and tear are frequent. Overall a place to avoid.

At least it was close to the airport

Reviewed By Grandparents3

We arrived at 4 for the 3 o'clock check in. Our room was being cleaned by the person who also attended the front desk and picked up people from the airport. Our room had no bathroom, only a sink. There was one common bathroom/toilet in the hallway (I guess I missed that when I booked). The kitchen area was not clean and the tables all had crumbs on them. There was one room available that had a bathroom but it was an upgrade - we took it.
