Best location for a snowy layover! Very flexible checkin (our flight arrived about 2am) and noon check out. Great breakfast. Spotless room with great shower. The front desk staff were so helpful and kind!
Clean, warm, and close to the airport. Flight was canceled due to snowstorm and just wanted a hit meal and a shower. I have to give a HUGE shoutout to the restaurant workers!! They were awesome and it was insanely busy for this small hotel. They were fast, friendly and efficient!! The best!!
Breakfast should be included. Noon checkout a huge benefit

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Had no sleep due to discomfort and back pain from the very narrow sagging beds which were more like camping cots than beds. These beds are not fit to support the body of a normal size male or female. The hotel didn’t acknowledge the problem- apparently it’s all in my head. In order to get compensation, an Expedia agent asked me for a doctor’s report of my discomfort because the hotel denied a problem with the cots. I paid for normal beds not for cots with sagging mattresses. Shockingly low standards that I have never encountered anywhere in Europe. Wifi was very weak and unpredictable, couldn’t check into my flight. Had to call twice the front desk and wasted a lot of time before they gave me a staff password that worked. Stay away.

If you need to stay overnight at the airport, this place is perfect. Just realize that there is NOTHING else nearby.
Iceland has very little travel options so, your only food options are at the hotel. The room has nice hardwood floors and is decently large. The beds are two singles pushed together, which isn't great, but it's fine. No AC, and while Iceland is often cold, if you do open the window then you'll hear the noisy airport.
Convenient location and nice room. They stored our bags all day, too.

the place is ok - the only good thing about it is it’s walking distance to the airport- that’s why they can get those sky high prices- otherwise it’s just a way over priced holiday inn- I will never take a plane that lands in Iceland anymore
Bad airport - town is hour away - nowhere around there to buy anything- just my opinion.
Convenient location 5 min walk to airport. Large, clean room with great amenities like complimentary coffee & tea. Front desk staff were helpful, friendly & efficient.
This hotel is within walking distance to the airport. Great place to spend the night if you have a very early morning flight the next day. It offers a good breakfast variety. The room itself was spacious. I travelled with an infant and it was comfortable. The room was quiet. Overall good experience!
Chose the Aurora for its convenient location. If arriving and going direct, be sure to exit the airport on the 'departures' side for the shortest walk. Bedrooms were pretty lackluster but fine for overnight. No mini fridge and the hotel would benefit in providing them for food/drink storage. Otherwise was pleasantly surprised with the breakfast and latte machine. Lots of hot and cold options.
