Aurora Hotel at Reykjavik-Keflavik Airport Terminal KEF

Aurora Hotel at Reykjavik-Keflavik Airport Terminal KEF

10/10 Excellent
"It was so nice to be able to walk to the hotel from the airport! For a fee, we were also able to get early checking, which we desperately needed after being up for 24 hrs. Staff was helpful and responsive before and during stay. Certainly more pricey than we are used to, but it was the night of the eclipse."

8/10 Good
"I think this is a great place to stay for these reasons: great location, 24 hour on site staff that were helpful! An age variety of travelers staying there, great walk ability to attractions, close to bus access, boat access, a grocery shop near by to purchase goods, a clean kitchen to cook in. The site itself is cool; there is a bar and gathering spots all over the site! Only downside, its hostel living and they pack in the peeps into the large capacity rooms, so bring a sheet for bunk bead privacy and be prepared to use eye masks and ear plugs( plugs are provided :)). It’s lively at this hostel and that part I enjoyed. Overall great experience. Place was clean, but as you know with hostels, bathrooms can get gross quickly. Other than that, I’ve got nothing but positive things to say about this place. Solid A!"
