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.

We didn't see a single person (including staff) during our stay but the keycard was left out for us so no issue. The room was lovely and clean with a kettle (v. important) and wet room. There is free parking there and it's a very short drive to the airport.

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.

This cozy hotel is located in the centre of town within walking distance to sights and restaurants. Our room, although not overly large, was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. A continental style breakfast was included that provided a number of options. The main point of excellence for us was the staff. Even though self check-in begins at 4pm we were allowed early access to our room. This was really appreciated as we arrived from a cruise around 10am. We were helped with booking a taxi for the following afternoon, given guidance on local sights and restaurants and allowed to make a coffee even though the breakfast time was over. The following morning as it was overcast with showers we were lent umbrellas and were invited to sit in the breakfast room until we left for the airport. Our luggage was stored.
Thanks to the assistance from a lovely and very accommodating woman our stay was special.

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 on our last night in Iceland to make it to airport for early morning flight. It is a very simple hotel, no frills - not even front desk staff.

But it was hands down the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in! It is self check-in, easy to find and conveniently within walking distance of food and the boardwalk. The rooms are small, but if you are looking for a simple place to sleep, this is it.

Breakfast is self-serve and again simple, but perfect for a quick start to day.

All in all, it was exactly what we were looking for, and again I have to stress it was so clean! Room was spotless, carpets in hall seem very new or well-maintained. Would definitely recommend!
