It's across the parking lot from the airport - couldn't be more convenient. It's a bit beat-up/worn, but that wasn't surprising, since I'm sure this hotel gets lots of traffic. The rooms were clean, and the staff were friendly & helpful, so no complaints.

I chose this hotel because it had a room for three and was in walking distance of KEF. It was perfect. The room was good, not fancy. Could have used a bathmat, but other than that no issues. I would definitely stay again if I needed an airport hotel. Food in restaurant and at breakfast was simple and tasty.
