Staying in Keflavik

Keflavik sits on the Reykjanes peninsula in south-west Iceland, right next to Keflavik International Airport, which makes it the natural first or last stop on most Iceland trips. The town itself is a compact coastal place with a harbour, shops and restaurants, and it works well as a base for the Blue Lagoon, the lava fields and the peninsula's rugged coastline.

The hotels on this shortlist are spread across the town. Several sit along the main thoroughfares of Hringbraut and Grænásbraut, while others are in the older streets closer to the harbour, such as Hafnargata and Klapparstígur. The mix suits different travellers: couples looking for a quiet apartment, families needing extra space and family rooms, and business or transit guests who want a full-service hotel with a 24-hour front desk and meeting facilities.
