Hotel Jazz

Nice location. Nice accommodations.

Staff was exceptionally helpful when our converter shorted the electricity in our room.
Place has a nice vibe.
Must be safe in the area since key was left on counter.
Couple of nice bars nearby.

We just stayed one night as we had a layover. We look for a hotel close to the airport to reduce the cost of transport. This was about 10min from the airport but still cost $47cdn. There was no front desk staff but our paperwork and key we at the front desk waiting for us. We had a nice breakfast before we left back to the airport.

This was an easy, no frills spot to stay a night ahead of our flight out of Keflavik. Check in and check out we're all self-serve and easy.

Hotel Jazz was an interesting one - it served the purpose of being an airport hotel the night before we left. It was clean, but very bare bones. Check in and checkout were self service so we literally didn’t see another human on the premises (staff or guest) the overnight we were there. It was weird feeling. Free parking, close to the airport.

cold breakfast was such a bummer.

The exterior of Hotel Jazz honestly had me wondering if I’d made a mistake in booking here to have proximity to KEF airport for my early flight. But the inside was clean and professional looking, with the things we needed (mini-fridge, desk, comfortable clean beds, an elevator). This hotel does not have microwaves in the rooms, fyi.

It was self serve from check in to the breakfast. All clean and well set up. Parking was limited when we got there since the town had a festival going on.

Comfortable enough but a small room and quite expensive for what it was. Not a huge amount of choice if you need to stay close to the airport for an early morning flight but Hotel Jazz is one of the viable options.

Reasonable budget hotel. Very limited breakfast.

Keys and instructions left on the counter. Grab and go, very easy.

The reason we chose the hotel bc it closed to the airport. But we did find the scenic pretty good.

unhelpful owners

Review:
We discovered visible mold in our hotel room, which posed a serious health risk to our family, including our toddler. The on-site staff did their best in the moment and moved us to another room, but they explained they couldn’t help further. The real issue is with the owners, who have ignored my request for a refund and shown no concern for guest health or safety.

It’s unacceptable that a property would knowingly place guests in unsafe conditions and then refuse to take responsibility afterwards. Sadly, while the front desk staff tried to assist, the lack of accountability from management and ownership means I cannot recommend this hotel.

While the room itself was small, but adequate, the exterior left something to be desired, and it didn’t even look like a hotel. The area itself was probably safe, but was tucked in between apartment buildings. With no one manning the front desk with a “self check-in” situation, it was unwelcoming from that perspective. We almost felt uncomfortable at first staying there. That being said, the room was fine for a 1-night stay before airport departure. Breakfast was self-serve, and was adequate, with items in the fridge that could be pulled out. A cappuccino machine was a nice touch.

Had a little bit of what look liked black mold in the corner of a wall and ceiling. Shower would just barely drain. We had standing water in the bathroom after a couple of showers. Was a handy location for the airport and was within walking distance to good food and an Irish pub.

The room was ridiculously small for the price charged (almost $400 / night). While the 3 twin beds and bathroom were adequate, there value / price relationship is not in line with other places we stayed at in the greater Reykjavik area.

Staff is at their best always. Very helpful and accommodating. Fantastic breakfast and very conveniently located property.

We stayed here for the night before our early flight home to the states. It was the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in! No frills, but we weren't looking for any. Breakfast was self-serve, so we were able to eat early before heading to airport. Would definitely recommend this to those doing a night in Keflavík on one end of their trip. I probably wouldn't want to stay more than a night as the rooms are just big enough for the beds.

It was located in a secluded area close to Main Street..close by all restaurants & shopping

Pros: 1) Easy check-in and check-out—completely contactless, 2) Room was clean and fine for a short stay: comfy beds, mini fridge, coffee maker, TV, and private bathroom, 3) Close to the airport and a gas station, which made returning the rental car convenient, 4) We parked on the street for free and didn’t get a ticket (the small hotel lot was full)

Cons: 1) Absolutely no staff presence during our stay, which could be an issue for some travelers, 2) Room wasn’t luxurious (functional but basic)...a bit pricey for what was offered.

Overall: Not a memorable stay, but it got the job done for one night near the airport. Would only recommend for travelers who are low-maintenance and want something purely practical.
