Hotel berhampiran Bridge Between Continents, Reykjavik

I booked a night here on my way out of town to be close to the KEF airport since my friends were leaving the night before. The four-bed female dorms are great and the bathroom down the hall was always clean. Towels and linens are provided, as well as a great breakfast starting at 4 am for those trying to grab a bite before an airport pickup. I wish taxis weren't so expensive to go the 7 mins down the road (about 2 miles) -- we were charged 4000 kroners for 2 people (~$30) ... It would be nice if the hostel offered free airport shuttles, even at just set times 2-3x a day. But overall, great option for overnight by the airport and definitely the best budget location/bang for your buck.

I recommend this guesthouse if it is your final destination before leaving Iceland. I think a lot of people do not understand that this is not a luxury home; it is truly meant to host you for a single night before an early flight. The place is clean and safe. The bathrooms are communal and the rooms are relatively small (keep in mind rooms are usually small in Iceland). One thing I did not like is that at night, it can get very loud due to the winds. However, this is absolutely not the responsibility of the host, it is just something to keep in mind. The reason I gave this location 4 stars is that it is very affordable, in my opinion it is a waste of money to stay somewhere expensive on your last night next to the airport. It is also worth repeating that the place is very clean and safe.

It is next to the airport. I drive that's why it is really convenient for me to return the car. Aurora, volcano and snowing, all amazing view captured by my fiancée and not only make her happy but me. Anyway, staff are nice either!

Like many people, when the pandemic hit we had to cancel our travel plans. This was the only booking that was a giant hassle to deal with. We had booked and paid for an entire trip to Iceland, and contacted all of the hotels, transfers, and tours to cancel and get refunds or vouchers. Every other venue was willing to work with us under the circumstances – even if the reservation had been non-refundable - except this one. At first we were told that we could cancel and reschedule until the end of 2021. Then when we tried to do so, they said that if we cancelled we would simply lose all our money whether we rescheduled or not. After some arguing, we were again told that we could reschedule, but they wanted us to pay them more money. We refused, and there was more arguing. Finally, we booked a date without paying more, and when we received a booking confirmation it said the new booking could be cancelled for a full refund. After all of that. It was ridiculous that, for a one-night stay, we had to spend two or three hours arguing with different representatives, when every other booking – most of them much more expensive – dealt with us courteously and efficiently. When it’s safe to travel again, we intend to re-book the trip exactly as before – the only exception being that we won’t re-book here, as they were so unreasonable and stressful to deal with.

Room was very good with an excellent bed seating area and bathroom facilities excellent. Right next door to Reykjavik Domestic Airport but no noise. Interesting watching small jets arrive and depart. Blackout curtains dudnt let light in. Only twobNegative things about my stay - no instructions on how-to use coffee machine and when checking out asked for luggage to be brought down only to be told that would be an extra charge! Once I pointed out I was disabled - luggage quickly appeared. For the price I paid it had all the mod cons I would expect.

This hotel has a lot going for it, but it's held back by the fit and finish of many of the hotel's spaces. Overall, the hotel just feels dated. The red carpet in all of the halls is faded and stained, the wood floor in the room had a lot of damage, and the spa is way past its prime. On a positive note, the furniture in the room has been updated recently and the pieces were nice plus I found the bed to be very comfortable. Also, breakfast was really good! The service at the hotel was also great. But that spa, ugh. It's a perk of being a gold/diamond member, but the spa is just not in good condition. Most urgently, something needs to be done about the steam room, it smelled awful while we were there and even made other parts of the spa smell. But overall, the spa was just not in good shape with damage everywhere. Also, the location of this hotel isn't great if you're looking to explore Reykjavik but, if like us, you want somewhere with free parking for you to explore the rest of Iceland, then this is a great location for you.

The hotel is okay. It’s a big hotel just next to the bay. There was a lot of school groups staying here so it was pretty crowded and noisy in the mornings and evenings. Breakfast was fine, not a huge amount of options just bread, small selection of fruit and a couple of cereals. The room was very small and the bed was too small (I’m 180cm). I got a room with a window but the window was just to the hallway and even with the blind down light was coming in all the time which made it difficult to sleep.

When we return to Iceland, we will most likely look first at staying here. It was very clean and comfortable, the people at the front desk were super helpful, the lobby was beautiful, and we enjoyed the free garage parking very much. We stayed here our last night before flying back home, and we had to leave at 6am so we were unable to enjoy the complimentary breakfast, but they did have coffee and pastries waiting for us in the lobby before we departed. The location was just a short 5 minute drive to the center of town, and the person at the check-in desk gave us very good directions for parking and even made a great dinner reservation for us at the Seafood Grill. We had a wonderful time.

I've had the great fortune of having been to Iceland now 3 times....2 for business and 1 for vacation. This 3rd stay was the vacation -- with my family and now spending my own money, I chose to return back to Hotel Kriunes. It's family owned and they take pride in what they do. Competitive prices, wonderful rooms of different sizes and styles, friendly and helpful staff, and the meals for breakfast and dinner are just beautiful.... This is the place you want!
