Airport Guide
Compare 4 airports near Keflavik
Choosing the right airport depends on your destination and transit requirements. Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is the primary international hub; it is the most practical choice for those flying into Iceland from abroad, offering efficient bus and taxi connections to the local area. Reykjavik Domestic Airport (RKV) is not in Keflavik but serves the capital region and is ideal specifically for domestic flights or connections to the Faroe Islands. Travelers should note that Vestmannaeyjar Airport (VEY) and Bildudalur Airport (BIU) are located in entirely different municipalities. These airports are remote, and transport to Keflavik involves significant travel time, multiple transfers, and often requires coordinated private or public transport across several modes like ferries and regional buses. For most international arrivals, stick to the main hub. If your plans include visiting remote regions, ensure you have pre-booked ground transport as public options can be limited and infrequent.

Friends, please steer clear of this place! As a Courtyard by Marriott, an international chain under Marriott, they have issues with unauthorized and duplicate charges.
My prepaid booking already included the city tax, yet they insisted I pay it again upon arrival, which means I was double-charged. I only discovered this when I asked Trip.com to investigate other deductions after I returned home.
This hotel also charged me in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. I found out when I reviewed my credit card statement after getting back. When Trip.com followed up, the hotel claimed I used paid Wi-Fi. That's ridiculous! I used the free in-room Wi-Fi, which is explicitly stated on Marriott's official website and as a member-exclusive service. I have no idea what 'paid Wi-Fi' they're referring to. Furthermore, after I checked out, this additional charge was never presented to me at the front desk nor sent via email; they just quietly deducted the money. It's outrageous. When I checked in, I asked if my Marriott Bonvoy number could be linked, and they confirmed it could. However, when Trip.com showed me the bill, it clearly showed that my account wasn't linked. It's an absolute mess.
The room facilities and cleanliness were decent. But the service? It's so bad, it warrants a formal complaint.FromUS$400

The hotel is quite good; the hygiene and facilities are excellent and relatively new. It's close to the airport, and they gave us a corner room which was spacious. We added an extra bed, and it was still quite quiet at night.FromUS$250

We visited in late December 2025.
- My child had high expectations for the duplex room, so we booked it and were very satisfied.
- The front desk, breakfast area, and room service staff were all friendly and professional.
- There's a heated pool on the second floor, close to the temperature of a hot spring, with an automatic lock when entering, and well-equipped changing and showering areas. (The Blue Lagoon is also nearby, so you can visit it.)
- The view overlooking the pier and the city was beautiful.
- It was quite crowded considering it was off-season. Even after many people checked out, all services, including dinner and breakfast, continued as normal, which was nice. The three-course dinner was delicious.
- They offer their own airport shuttle service, so you can relax at the end of your stay and arrive at the airport on time, stress-free.
- Just down the hill is the beautifully decorated Troll Cave. It's a great place to show off your kids or let them play rock-paper-scissors to get in on their own. (It's funny during the day, but scary after dark.)
- Along the coast, there's an old fishing boat on display, and toward the city center, there's a nice Italian restaurant called Anton's Mamma Mia.FromUS$265

A lovely hotel, conveniently situated near keflavik airport..Stunning Deco, rooms were immaculate, and the spar facilities are second to none..We never used it as there was an extra cost.. Shame there was no view of the harbour. However, the sky from our room was spectacular..

Booked a brief 6-hour overnight stay to catch a few hours sleep & a shower between long flight days, was worth every penny. Got in just after midnight in late June & took a pic of the ocean from my balcony, beautiful! Everything was clean, comfortable, & the staff very nice & accommodating. Hotel only a couple of miles from the airport.FromUS$244

Originally, I only switched to Iceland in order to catch up with the storm and cancel the flight. People at the airport queued at the airport counter to book the hotel. I feel that if I go down this way, I am afraid I have to play at the airport. So decisively on the Ctrip query, watching the surrounding areas of the airport less and less, I almost did not seriously compare, set the four-bed family suite in seconds. When the taxi came to me in the middle of the night, my heart was still very embarrassing, and I felt that I was driving to a remote village. The morning storm stopped, the curtains were opened, and the coast dam was actually seen. There is no breakfast in the hotel, but the room has a simple kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, kettle, tableware. I walked in less than ten minutes and there is a 24-hour small supermarket, buy some milk, bread, cheese, ham, plus a travel companion. Instant noodles, children can eat very well! Did not drive, so did not ask the waiter whether there is a parking lot. I like the public leisure area here, the high frosted transparent roof, very bright! Not far from the airport, it is very comfortable to stay temporarily.FromUS$143

The address is a bit difficult to find, because the door is too small, almost thinking that I went wrong, it may also be the reason for the night.
The sink is right at the bedside, not good. The room is also very narrow.
A party next door in the middle of the night, did not sleep all night. No one guards, self-help, and dare not remind others.
At night, I said that I sent an email to repair the pipe and there was no hot water. I didn't tell at 6 pm, it was too late. Said to repair for 3 hours, but there was no hot water until I checked out.
The only advantage is that it is close to the airport and 7 minutes drive.FromUS$165

The hotel is close to Reykjavik Airport. You can take the bus to the hotel to check in before 12 o'clock. The boss will personally take you to the airport for 5mins at 5-8am in the morning. The hotel environment is very good, almost 5.6 domestic, this is less than 400.FromUS$115

It may be that Iceland's food and lodging requirements at this price cannot be too high. . . The front desk is open from 10 to 5 o'clock, other times you have to call by yourself. The room facilities are a bit old, there are not many things for breakfast, it is 10 minutes by car from the airport, the nearby supermarket restaurant is very close, and it is a walking distance.FromUS$162
