    I recently stayed at Istay Cottages for my second trip and was once again delighted. The self-check-in process was seamless and the cabins were clean, safe, and well stocked. The location was perfect, just a short 10-minute drive from the airport. I loved the unique feel of the property, combining the comfort of a bed with the ambiance of camping. The group kitchen was a great place to mingle with fellow travelers. The cabins were well heated and had good windows for spotting the northern lights. My only suggestion would be to move the rectangle window above the TV for an even better view. a fantastic stay!

    100% recommend this hotel.

    Check-in was a breeze, and our cabin was clean, spacious, and quiet. The fully stocked kitchen, with two fridges and a free leftovers section, was a nice surprise. The property is well-maintained and the boardwalk adds to the charming atmosphere. The location is peaceful, and the hosts, Hjördís and Jonas, were helpful and responsive. We highly recommend this place and hope to return one day.

    Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Clean, well-equipped cottages with fridge, kettle, microwave, cooktop, and pantry items left by previous guests. Comfy beds in family cabin. Convenient location near Keflavik Airport and attractions. Quiet surroundings and potential for viewing northern lights.

    The cabins were cozy and clean, perfect for a Christmas getaway. the location was great, with easy access to key attractions and amenities nearby. We also enjoyed the beautiful setting of the property, surrounded by nature and tranquility.

    One of the main disappointments was the lack of proper customer service. the staff seemed unwilling to answer our questions and provide assistance.

    The cottage was a good size, spotlessly clean, and had beautiful picture windows with great views. the communal kitchen was well-equipped and had useful food items and tea and coffee. Close to the airport, easy to get around in a vehicle. the local swimming pool and jacuzzi were free to use and a nice place to relax after exploring.

    Felt like a true getaway, no complaints at all.

    As a traveler with an early morning flight, I found Istay Cottages to be conveniently located near KEF airport. The clean and modern cottage provided a cozy and comfortable stay, complete with a bathroom inside. The cottage had all the necessary linens and the shared washroom facilities were just steps away. The owners provided excellent service and promptly addressed any concerns. I also appreciated the big dining room and kitchen available for use. a wonderful stay for my first night in Iceland.

    Totally recommend this hotel.

    The cottages at Istay were ideal for our stay as a couple. the warm and comfortable rooms were perfect for a good night's sleep, and the kitchen space was well-equipped for preparing meals. the proximity to the airport was incredibly convenient, allowing us to easily catch our flight. We also enjoyed having access to the local swimming pool, which would be great for families. the nearby sports center was a nice bonus as well.

    Felt very well, nothing too much trouble.

    the stay at istay cottages in sandgerthi was even better than before! the cabins were immaculate and the communal facilities felt private. the sense of community was lovely, with everyone sharing tips and doing dishes together. the nearby thermal swimming pool was a highlight, despite the cold weather. we can't wait to go back!

    No cooking facilities, only microwave.

    The common areas were nice and the breakfast was good. the location was quiet and there was a great seafood restaurant nearby.

    The room was incredibly small, with no closets or drawers. the bathroom was also tiny and lacked basic amenities.

    We stayed at Istay Cottages for one night and it was perfect for our needs. The cabins were tasteful and contemporary, offering plenty of space. The scenery from the windows was other-worldly in June. The proximity to Keflavik airport and nearby attractions made it a great value. The free access to the local swimming pool, hot tub, water slide, and sauna was a wonderful perk. The hosts were friendly and prompt. It's a great spot for campers too, with beautiful surroundings and the ocean nearby.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.
