Airport Guide
Compare 3 airports near Selfoss
Choosing the right arrival point for your trip to Selfoss depends largely on your flight origins and your budget requirements. Reykjavik Domestic Airport (RKV) is the most practical choice for those arriving on domestic flights; it is located in the neighboring city of Reykjavik, not in Selfoss itself, but offers the shortest travel time and lowest transport costs. For most international travelers, Keflavík International Airport (KEF) is the primary gateway. While it is located in a different city further west, it handles the vast majority of overseas traffic. It is significantly further from your destination, and while private transfers are convenient, they are priced at a premium compared to the public bus network. Lastly, Vestmannaeyjar Airport (VEY), also in a separate municipality, serves very specific regional routes; it involves a complex connection via ferry and bus, making it generally less convenient for reaching Selfoss unless it is part of a specific island itinerary. Practical traveler tip: Always book your private transfers in advance and monitor local weather, as road conditions in Iceland can fluctuate rapidly, impacting travel times between these airports and your final destination in Selfoss.

The facilities are relatively new. The rooms are not particularly large.
There's parking, but it's limited, so you'll have to park on the street if you run out.
Breakfast is similar to other hotels, but the selection isn't extensive. The coffee is good.
There's a spa, but it costs 3,000 kroner per person. It has two small circular heated pools, one cold pool, a sauna, and showers.FromUS$168

The rooms were clean and the location was nice, but the rooms were a little dated looking. For the price I wasn’t too impressed with the quality of the rooms, and I thought breakfast was lackluster. Comparable to a low end hotel breakfast in the USA.
Though there weren’t any big issues with the hotel, I probably would not stay there or recommend it.FromUS$184
