Very clean, spacious, only four beds to a large dorm room, not bunk beds. Towel and flannel provided. Very comfy clean beds and linen. Large ‘wet room’ style showerooms. Staff all very helpful and friendly. They organised a shared taxi to airport to reduce cost. Great breakfast was included, cereals, fruits, pastries etc, even at 04:00!

Only that it is still a few kilometres from the actual Airport and needs a taxi early in morning (4500kr), but accommodation at the actual airport is limited to just one hotel I think.

Very clean , comfortable bed and good shower . Breakfast was tasty good selection, staff are very friendly thanks for Szymon and the lady Ioana or Irina ( sorry not sure) . They have shared kitchen lot of equipment, pizza oven ( you can buy pizza and bake yourself) there is beer ,pot noodles , crisps and many more . Breakfast is 4am to 9am but hot beverages all available all day ( tea , coffee , hot chocolate…) breakfast have juices , bread , cheese , salami , egg , bread spreads , fruits , etc . You can book a taxi for available every 30min for 2250 local money per person they book for you just let them know in advance. If you choose to take buss is number 55 but it’s coming quiet rear specially Sunday it’s only from 12pm so better book taxi with them . Highly recommended this place very cozy clean and friendly!

I can’t find anything what not to like

Staff helpful & friendly. Clean & tidy & bedroom nicely decorated. Great having a well equipped communal kitchen to make lunch or evening meal. Communal lounge area with TV also good. Very good buffet breakfast which is also available for early flights. Restaurant & mini market easy walk away. Staff kindly booked taxi for me to airport. A nice place to stay.

A bit far to walk to Keflavik town about 1 hour 10 (which I did) as I wanted to see the town. There may be a bus that goes there. (There's a supermarket closer, 48 mins walk away in another town). Taxi to airport expensive for me K4500 & it's only a 8-10 minute journey. I was in a 4 bed dorm so people coming & going early or late, but to be expected as near the airport.

We booked this hotel for our last night in Iceland. As our flight was leaving around 10 am and we had to drop the rental car at 7 we had chosen this hotel quite close to the airport. It turned out that it was just around the corner from our car rental company, Icerental 4x4. A lucky coincidence! The hotel is not really cozy, but had everything we needed. Our room was really big and were able to pack easily, with all the luggage spread out on the extra sofa. One big plus is the self service breakfast which is available from 4 am (!). Another big plus is the location: As the hotel is situated in a seemingly industrial area, it was totally quiet during the night. (Friends who stayed directly in Reykjanesbær didn't get any sleep, because it was so loud around their hotel.) All in all I would definitely recommend this hotel for a first or last night in Iceland.

When I read that it was a hostel, I was scared that my wife and son would be sharing a room with strangers. Had this been the case, I would have preferred to stay in the airport for the night, but my wife insisted. Fortunately, I was wrong. We had a private room with a private bathroom(I understand that some of the rooms share a bathroom). It was perfect. I felt that the environment was both safe and private. The rooms were very clean and it was just a very nice place stay in-between flights. The free breakfast was also a rather good addition since understand not all the hotels have such an option.

Like everything in Iceland, you can expect to pay more. This place was relatively cheap, but you're still paying more than you would in Croatia or Ukraine (where I lived previously). Can't blame Start for that, but it's worth mentioning.

I liked how close it was to the airport and how accessible it was. The staff showed me how to get to the bus stop and catch the bus to the airport, which was a 20 min ride. The breakfast was great! The bed was comfy. The shared bathroom was very clean and private, which I loved. And every bed had a side table and a bed lamp. Overall, it was a lovely last night stay.

The nearest food place was a 10 min walk from the hostel, though the lobby did sell some snacks to get you through the day/night. You can also order delivery, so it really isn't that bad.

The staff is very helpful and friendly. When I arrive around 2 pm, the room yet ready, and she is welcome me to take a tea break at their cafe. After 5 to 10 mins, quickly come to me, and the room is ready. I am unexpected the room is clean and warm, not like dorm I stay before. Lastly, their breakfast is the best. They have a lot of choices, and all it is to keep on to refill from time to time.

I think all is good and possible the small improvement is to put a label on each of breakfast foods, as I can not eat beef hence I am quite worried.

Came for an over-night sleep because of a long layover in Iceland, and booked a dorm last minute when I arrived at the airport at around midnight. Very nice staff, good breakfast buffet that starts at 4am, reception open all night so easy to check-in for a late arrival, and quiet dorm room w hot shower. Every accommodation in Iceland was expensive but this was the cheapest option in the area near the airport.

Bit far from the airport so must take a taxi - this is not in the hostel's control, but there are no ubers and taxis are very expensive from the airport.

Warm welcome from a friendly receptionist who immediately booked our transport to the airport for the next morning at a very reasonable fixed price of 4,500isk. Small shop at Reception plus well-equipped kitchen with helpful basics such as olive oil; all enabled us to eat a meal there despite arriving late in the evening. Quality, full-range buffet breakfast, freshly-prepared, from 4-9.30am, which helped considerably with an early flight. Overall, an excellent end to our stay in Iceland.

Nothing.

The property was great. It was clean, friendly staff and the bed was super comfy. Breakfast was a nice spread. I had to taxi to the property as the next bus wasnt for another 1.5 hours and it cost me $50 Canadian for a 10 Minute taxi trip. Crazy! Anyway the reception helped me get another person so we can share the taxi back to the airport the next am.

Well I felt like for a hostel hotel, the price was on the high side, especially when you’re sharing a room with 3 others. And it’s in a location where there isn’t much around at all.
