Fist of all- I’m so grateful for this place. Even though I flew in at midnight by myself, it was safe and a very expensive taxi took me straight to the Guesthouse. No one was at the reception desk but there were clear markings to phone someone and they told me exactly what to do and I was in bed within 10 minutes. My room was small but had everything I needed minus a toilet of course. I understood that and I had a great sleep and it was quiet. Breakfast the next morning was interesting. It was like I was showing up at my grandma‘s house and she was still sleeping so I had to fetch for myself which was fine. They had a wide range of food and things so anyone can find something satisfactory and I was most pleased. The bathrooms are very clean And Lukas was particularly kind. He personally helped me find a way to the RKV domestic airport. He was so patient and accommodating. The feel of the place was quite ugly because they also house parked cars for long term parking. This is a great place to crash for a night but the price is way too much for this hostile. If they fixed the rotted out doors from water damage, put up barriers to block the cars or parked them away from the hotel, if they organised the kitchen better and added a hallway rug runner (for noise), and provided free airport shuttle, it would be 5 stars all the way around. .
The room was small but had the essentials. Bathrooms are communal. Showers are nice. It's everything you would expect from a place that is not super expensive yet has most everything essential. Check in is super convenient. You are sent a room number and lock code. Walk in and find your room. Easy peezy

Close to the airport (5 min) was nice. But $350+ for a very soft twin bed and a shared bathroom was excessive. And $37 for a shuttle to the airport is also very pricey given it’s only a 5 min drive
The hotel had emailed me the check in code for my rooms the day before since there isn't a front desk attendant. Check in went smoothly. In that email sent they said there was a charge for breakfast. I almost paid that charge but good thing I waited because the breakfast was barely anything. The hot water for the tea was cold. There was only sliced bread that you can toast and some fruit. Definitely not worth paying for. My advise is being good with you because they do have a microwave. The cleaning lady doesn't speak any English but we were able to communicate enough for her to provide a European plug adapter. The one I had did not fit their plugs. But it was quiet. Only 2 other guests I saw but pretty much empty. Room did get warm enough and shower was hot.
The only pro about the Kef guesthouse is the location in proximity to the airport. The parking lot is also an airport car park, so it is hard to find parking. Our room was dirty - hairs all in the sheets and pillows, dirt/dust all over the floor and night stand. The other guests were very noisy through all hours of the night . The curtains are not blackout, so during the summer it was light in the room all night long. Would not recommend it.
Best part was that it was very close to the airport. Our beds were clean and convenient. We booked room with private bathroom and the bathroom did have an odour, also lacked soap and shampoo which the housekeeping provided on request.
The facilities were nice, and the staff were very helpful. It’s not the Guesthouse’s fault, but transportation from the airport and to anywhere around the area is limited and pricey. I guess that’s just the nature of things there. Otherwise, my needs were satisfied.
The location is very convenient to the KEF international airport. It is about 3 km from the airport. We had a room for four, with a queen bed and two bunk beds for the kids. The beds were comfortable. The room was clean and comfortable, but a little small. We were just there to sleep before our morning flight. The shared bathrooms were clean. It is a car park so there were lots of cars around the building. We did not opt for the breakfast.
