Courtyard By Marriott Reykjavik Keflavik Airport

“Convenient Minimalist Hotel”

I arrived hours before my check in and asked for details of my room. It was my wedding anniversary and I wanted to know what to expect for my wife, who wouldn’t arrive for hours. The gentlemen said as a Titanium Elite / Lifetime Platinum member I had a high floor, quiet, away from the elevator, with a great view. He was half right. When I finally checked in, it was away from the elevator on the highest floor (4). But heavy machinery was operating directly outside and. below my window, which woke us up each day much earlier than we intended. The view was of an empty dead grass field as far as the eye could see. The other wing of the hotel had a view of the bay! The ladies I asked later said the view is normally a lava field and a glacier. I don’t know how it could have changed so much, but ok. They said the bay with the city of Keflavik in the foreground is usually less desirable. I saw the guy later and he said all rooms have construction. That’s just false. I drove around the other wing and there was no construction. So, why a five star? Everyone was reasonably nice, the gym was simple but nice, the parking was ample, and I like the minimalist design throughout Iceland…including here. It’s a nice enough hotel and I’ve no desire to lower their ranking. My wife didn’t express any discontent about any of it. I was just annoyed at being mislead. Thank you.

We stayed at Courtyard Reykjavik Keflavik Airport for our last night in Iceland before flying out next day. The hotel is located just 2.5 km from Keflavik airport. The complimentary hotel shuttle only runs from hotel to airport and exclusively for Marriott Bonvoy members. We had a rental car and coincidently enough the Ace Rental Car agency is located just across the hotel. The cash rates at the hotel were quite expensive (even by Iceland standards) and we used 50,000 Marriott points for the 1 night stay. The hotel has 2 on-property restaurants and out of those we had dinner at the Langbest Restaurant. Thumbs up: Convenient location near the airport Complimentary hotel shuttle (although only from hotel to airport and only for Bonvoy members) Thumbs down: Cash rates seemed quite expensive even accounting for Iceland 50,000 Marriott points/night for stay seemed steep even though the hotel is nice. More reviews to come

“Conveniently located near airport”

Right on the outskirts of town, this hotel is a perfect if you have a flight out of the airport the next day. It is very conveniently located.
