Hotels near Reykjavík Keflavík Airport - KEF, Reykjavík

Keflavík is a cute little town. It is so pretty with the harbor and the art work everywhere. I wish I had more time to explore and relax to enjoy it. It has a variety of restaurants to eat and many grocery stores to shop at. It was very easy to locate places and walkable town to explore.

Easy to reach accommodation, nice room in a house with big communal areas like kitchen and lounge/dining room. Great location to go anywhere in Iceland. This time I only came to see the active volcano and this accommodation was perfect for my trip. Described with no wifi available, while instead fast wifi was there, so much better than expected. Thanks again.

Our group for an Iceland tour met in Keflavík before heading on. Logistically, given flight schedules and the distance to Reykjavik, this made excellent sense. But the town wasn’t very charming; blustery June weather discouraged us from doing more than an afternoon walk around

Keflavík's main attraction is the airport and being near Grindavík, the area with the Blue Lagoon and sizable seismic activity - so much so that it's closed now. So that leaves mainly the airport as the main "attraction." Keflavík is about 40 - 60 minutes drive (depending on traffic congestion) from Reykjavík, so it's not a good base for visiting the capitol city. We've been to Iceland 3 times and there just hasn't been any great desire to go around Keflavík...

We stayed overnight in Keflavik for ease of getting back to the airport in the morning. Once we arrived, I checked into Hotel Keflavik early so we had somewhere to stash our bags, and then we head to Kökulist for really delicious coffee and their delicious pastry offerings. I definitely recommend checking them out. After that, we spent some time walking around the waterfront, checking out the different murals and art installations. We stopped by Giganta’s Cave which was super cute and a big hit. We had lunch at the restaurant at Hotel Keflavik, which was delicious and later had dinner at the restaurant at the Park Inn, both of which I would recommend.

This hotel provided me with excellent service, including free airport shuttle at a very early hour (6 am). Room was fine. And the dinner was superb - much better than I would have expected given that there's no other choice for dining in the vicinity, as far as I could tell. Delicious food and again, great service. I recommend this hotel to anyone wishing to stay close to the airport.
