Very cozy and warm little guest house near the air

Have an early flight to catch so I had to book something near the airport. The room is well above expectations, greet by the owner, the room is clean warm and cozy, there is a fully equipped kitchen next door. Sadly I had to get up at 4am leave at 5, definitely look forward to stay there again.

This hotel is about a 20-minute drive from the airport, on the way to Reykjavík, in a quiet coastal town with one store and restaurant. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, which made our stay enjoyable. There were a few mix-ups with transportation and the hot tub, but the hotel was clean and comfortable. The shared kitchen was well stocked, and we really appreciated the host’s kindness, he even offered us medicine when he heard we had a cold.

Richard, the host and owner was extremely kind, friendly and accommodating. We were lucky enough to go during a not so busy time and we were able to also use his services for pick up and drop off to the airport and couple other attractions. The place is located about 15-20 minutes from The Blue Lagoon and about 30 to 40 minutes from Reykjavík, so depending on what your plans are it could be a convenient location (about 15-20 minutes) to Keflavik International Airport.

It is a basic but complete facility. Very convenient if you need a place to stay close to the airport. Staff is very friendly. Location seems a bit weird. In the middle of a subdivision? or an industrial area?

Great spot, thank you to the guesthouse host!

Arctic Wind is a great place to stay, especially if you want to be outside of Reykjavik or closer to the airport or Blue Lagoon. The rooms are well appointed with every element considered to make for a comfy, easy stay. The beds are top notch and we slept well, even in the long daylight period of year (thanks to the blackout curtains as well). Ryszard is fantastic and made our stay even easier, giving us the tour of the room and all amenities, helping with airport transportation, and pointing us to the nearby restaurant before it closed for the night. Vogar is a very small town but the people are all friendly and welcoming and made this one-night stay the highlight of our two-part visit to Iceland.

Good little place to stay if you have an early flight or a late arrival. Basic room but had everything we needed. To be honest the amenities where the same as the hotel we paid £500 a night for it just didn’t have the view. Very helpful host who showed us around. Great little grocery store just a few metres walk and the sea is just a few steps further. The bonus - this property has a great kitchen attached for guests use with a washing machine!!!
