I booked this hotel because it was listed as being near the airport. My itinerary involved returning a rental car at the airport, then taking a taxi to the hotel for a one-night stay. This wasn't as convenient as I'd hoped. Even though a free shuttle runs every 30 minutes in the morning, the distance from the airport itself felt a bit far, making the journey less smooth. The major plus was that the room was extremely spacious, which was very helpful for organizing my luggage.
Very conveniently located airport hotel literally 5 mins stroll (even in Nov Icelandic weather) to the airport. Huge plus point was the early breakfast hours from 4am for those catching AM flights out and mind you, not just cold cuts and bread but with hot scrambled eggs n beans etc. Rooms were clean and there is a small reasonably priced bar ( By Icelandic standards) at lobby area for those who want a night capper.
Many Car Rental companies are also within a stone throw of the hotel, perfect for car returns and getting back to hotel on foot after.
The location is not close to airport, it is not accessible on foot and the taxi would charge you $50usd. The hotel also does not have shuttle, they only offer the shuttle from 4-8am.
The room I was given was quite small, but as I was only there for one night it was all I needed. The bed was comfy, and the shower was hot. Room was clean with fresh water provided.
The breakfast was nice, goodly amount of food types available.
Staff was friendly, and check out is at noon, which is nice.
The service is very good, the hotel is simple and straightforward, although the sink is a bit small, everything else is very good, there is also the aurora wake-up service, and I also saw the aurora! Simple breakfast.
The location of the hotel is very close to the Blue Lagoon, you can take you to the Blue Lagoon for free. Although it is Samsung, it feels like 7 days in China. Spent 3 star money, live fast. Just a personal feeling
Second time staying at Start Keflavik hostel because i had great experience there. It’s near to the airport by bus/car. Bonus / Kronan supermarket are within 30 minutes walk and along the way you get to snap some nice photos of the surroundings. Staff were very friendly and helpful and i had a good chat with the Chinese lady. Very spacious, cosy and clean amenities especially the recreation room, lounge and dining hall. Guests are provided with coffee, tea and other beverages at anytime. A wonderful place highly recommended for all travellers!
Location close to the airport, good value for money. The room is big and there is no problem with hygiene. There is parking space. There is a restaurant/bar downstairs. Overall, it can be ordered again. 
Clean but very small room. Window was rusted and could not be fully closed. Would be nice to have a few more shelves/racks. Excellent early breakfast for early flights.
Very good hotel, excellent location, large public areas and very warm feeling. The room was the largest we stayed in Iceland and could easily spread out 2 boxes. Opposite is the lighthouse, the weather is clear, you can see the aurora directly from the window (sea view room can, the other side will have the light pollution of the airport). The hotel drives 10 kilometers to the airport and will pass a small town.

Very Good
About 5 minutes walk from Keflavík airport. Definitely a good choice for early flight travellers. Lots of varieties on breakfast starting at 4am. Will definitely stay again when we come. Able to view the aurora outside the hotel on our final night in Iceland

This hotel is very clean, the room was large and the bed very comfortable. It is situated on a little harbour and we had a nice room with a harbour view. There is a restaurant attached and the food was excellent. My only issue is that it is about a 10 min drive from the airport and the taxi ride one way was 42 euros which translated to $136 Canadian dollars round trip, that was a bit of a sticker shock for a 10 min ride (20 min total).
Convenient for airport access. Courtyard Reykjavík is easy to reach from the airport, making it a very convenient choice for arrivals or early departures. The hotel is comfortable and well organized, especially if airport access is a priority.
Booked a brief 6-hour overnight stay to catch a few hours sleep & a shower between long flight days, was worth every penny. Got in just after midnight in late June & took a pic of the ocean from my balcony, beautiful! Everything was clean, comfortable, & the staff very nice & accommodating. Hotel only a couple of miles from the airport.
Near to airport. Nice location to catch aurora which is right outside the hotel so can eaisly run back to hotel when it is too cold and windy while waiting for the magic moment to appear.
Excellent stay for one night. My friends and I were unexpectedly upgraded to 2 spacious rooms. We had a nice relaxed meal in the bistro. A taxi was booked for an early flight the hotel is well positioned to get to the airport.
This is a family-friendly resort hotel. If you want to enjoy the winter aurora borealis or the Blue Lagoon, I highly recommend this hotel. The rooms are clean, the food is delicious, and the front desk staff are especially helpful. Even though my family doesn't speak Icelandic or English, we were able to stay here without any problems.
