3-star hotels in Keflavik
A shortlist of 3-star stays in Keflavik, from the well-known airport hotels to small guesthouses and self-catering apartments. It is for travellers who want a bed near Keflavik Airport, whether that is one night before a flight or a few days using the town as a base.
Staying in Keflavik
Keflavik is the town that grew around the international airport on the Reykjanes peninsula, so most visitors pass through it at the start or the end of a trip. The streets here are low and quiet, the harbour and seafront sit at the western edge, and the airport lies just outside town. These 3-star addresses are spread through the residential grid: Adalgata, Duusgata, Vallargata, Austurgata and Sunnubraut sit closer to the centre and the water, while Aoalgata, Blikavöllur, Lindarbraut, Hringbraut and Skogarbraut are towards the airport side.
It suits different trips. Couples and short-break travellers who want a room with a bar, a restaurant or a hot tub have the larger hotels and the apartments with private outdoor space. Families get family rooms, cots, high chairs and kitchens at several addresses. Business and transit travellers choose the properties with 24-hour reception, express check-in, car rental desks and free parking, and the highest-rated pick by guests is Nupan Deluxe at 4.5 out of 5 from 360 reviews.
