Clean and comfortable room.
The bed is very comfortable and the shared bathroom has a good shower. Note that the bathroom is in the room marked “shared rooms” area that also has a nice little kitchen. Only 7 minutes drive to the airport. Very convenient for that early flight.

False advertising
The primary photo is not of this facility. It is basically a dorm room building. Shared bathrooms and almost no breakfast. I thought I was giving my daughter somewhere special to stay for her birthday. Instead of thermal spas or at least a swimming pool, we got a building that has been compared to a prison. Do your research.

The staff was very accommodating and the place was clean and nice. The kitchen is great and has available snacks. Great location, close drive to blue lagoon and many shops in Keflavík.

Stayed here with our toddler to catch a few hours of shut eye when our flight landed at 0500. The guest house was so accommodating when we let them know that’s what we’d be using it for, and they let us stay an extra hour for free which was much appreciated. Close to the airport, easy check in process.

This place was in a distant location but it was super convenient for us. It was very close to the airport and was an overall great stay. It was very clean and had everything we needed.

This is less of a hotel and more like military barracks. In fact I think they were. Our visit started with an abusive and aggressive taxi driver who told us that taxis are for rides to Reykjavik and we ruined his day by asking to go somewhere closer to the airport. He was rude and yelled at us the whole ride and wouldn’t let us out when we asked. But he still charged us $40. It was unclear to us when we booked that we would have a SHARED bathroom. There was no staff working there so check in was complicated and we had to call to get a code. There is nothing around this prison like hotel and the television and wifi did not work. Also, the power outlets didn’t work so we left to the airport the next morning with no charged devices. Plus, it’s not like it’s cheap, we still paid $200 to share a shower and toilet with strangers.

Good stay. Only complaint was we stayed in room 212, which i would think to be the last room to be rented out. It wasnt as the bank was not even half full. The room is the only one without shelving or a tv. The desk lamp was broken as well. I recommend the bank, but if you get room 212, ask for another.

Bank Guesthoise was clean, quiet and had easy parking for our rental car. I didn’t realize there were only shared bathrooms until after we arrived but I never had an issue where I had to wait to use the shower or restrooms and they were pretty clean. No housekeeping though which was a minus but what do you expect for the price.
