Great Place If You Can Find It

Located at the old US Base in Keflavik, this B&B was just what we needed for a late night off the airplane. The man at reception was friendly and helpful. In fact, it was the same man I saw picking up passengers at the airport. Things were clean and tidy and looked well maintained.

Our spacious room had plenty of room for the three of us with luggage and pushchair, too. Our two single beds pushed together had one rather thin pillow each with no extras to be found anywhere. We requested a cot but there wasn’t one in there so Sofia slept between us on the beds. The beds were comfortable aside from the thin pillow issue.

Because this is an old US Naval Air Station barracks, the electrical system is a lower voltage than the rest of Iceland. Many of our electricals are American voltage (110 V) so it wasn’t an issue, but make sure you get a converter from the reception if you have 220-240V appliances such as straighteners, hair dryers, chargers, etc. In fact, the whole place was kitted out in what my husband called, "Cold War American" right down to the fluorescent lights. It was strange being in Iceland and seeing US towel racks and plugs and so on in the bathroom.

In short, don’t think that you will find this place with no directions. It is not going to happen. We tried and failed. Reading other reviews online only solidifies this. After finding their old location and disturbing one of their employees who came to the door half-nude, one of the staff from the new location drove over to meet us and take us to the proper location.

It is in a great location for the airport and very convenient for someone who is flying into or out of Keflavik Airport as Reykjavik is a bit of a drive, especially if you get in late. I would stay here again for one night if needed. I don’t think I would stay any longer as people are coming and going at all hours due to flights coming in late and going out early.

I honestly can’t even remember eating breakfast there. My husband recalled it as being totally fine, but if I don’t remember it, it couldn’t have been that spectacular.

Excellent B&B in Iceland

I have so much to say about Bed and Breakfast Keflavik Airport - more than just "good value for the money." The staff was very kind and I especially liked the free pick-ups to and from the airport. I assume that most of the guests at the B&B would be night flight passengers, and I think it's perfect for those guests, with free pick-ups. They serve breakfast from 04:30 in the morgning.
The room was cozy and clean. The American voltage system isn't a problem because you can borrow converters for free. Internet was available in some rooms and in the "livingroom".
Jonas, Lovisa and your staff, thank you so much for your kindness, you are running great bed and breakfast in Keflavik
