This hotel is not cheap but has quality. The rooms are spacious and very confortable. We chose twin rooms and the beds were wide and very confortable too. The only negative points were: bathroom towels too small and rough; the restaurant's menu had a short variety of dishes. A big plus in favour of this hotel is its proximity to the airport (around 100 m) which enables travellers to walk there.

Let's start with the price : 235€ per night. The owners of that hotel have found the perfect business model : charge as much as they can and provide the simplest level of quality acceptable. That's how you turn an airport into a cash machine.

What you can expect for that price is just a bedriol, a rustic bathroom and one towel per person. If you are lucky you'll get soap too. I must have done something wrong in my life because I didn't get any.

The breakfast was a nightmare (see picture). Undrinkable coffee and old croissants. Iceland is certainly not renown for its food and the Aurora Star hotel contributes to making this true.
The worst part of the experience was actually the night. Walls are thin and you hear everything (espcially important when flights leave at 1, 2 and even 3 am).
As a final note, let me mention that the Aurora hotel bears its name very well. Maybe you won't experience the northern lights but you will experience the airport lights. Don't count on the thin and transparent curtains to block light. They are as thin as you can imagine and will ensure you weak up early so that you won't miss your flight.

We had a nice, large room, which was clean and comfortable. Although we were close to the airport, there was very little noise. The staff was friendly and helpful. They allowed us to switch rooms to get a bigger room with a couch to accommodate our family. Breakfast was a combined hot and cold buffet, which allowed us to fuel up before a long day of sightseeing. The hotel is about 40 minutes from Reykjavik and 20 minutes from the Blue Lagoon.
