This article is brought to you in partnership with Hotel Konvin. Once landed at Iceland’s Keflavík Airport amidst the dark fields of ancient lava, a visitor might feel a little bit intimidated by this striking Moon-like landscape. In fact, the island with its tempestuous ocean on one side and unpredictable volcanoes on the other stimulates a craving for safety and comfort. Located in the vicinity of the country’s main international airport, Hotel Konvin offers travellers exactly what they need: excellent amenities just ten minutes from the terminal.

These four elements are designed to remove friction at key moments of a trip. Guests can arrive, eat, rest, pick up a car, and continue their journey without unnecessary planning, transfers, or waiting. Everything is in one place and aligns with the rhythm of a traveller. Ásbrú Photo: Hotel Konvin. Facebook Ásbrú, where Hotel Konvin is located, has undergone a notable transformation over the past two decades. Once part of the former NATO defence base at Keflavík, the area consisted largely of military housing, operational buildings, and infrastructure tied to the base’s activities. After the base closed in 2006, the site gradually shifted toward civilian use. Today Ásbrú has developed into a mixed community with residential neighbourhoods, educational institutions, businesses, and technology companies. The area is also home to research centres and aviation-related services connected to nearby Keflavík International Airport. While traces of its military past remain visible in the layout and architecture, Ásbrú has steadily evolved into a growing district on the Reykjanes peninsula, combining its history with new economic and community activity. Quality Sleep Hotel Konvin. Photo: konvin.is. Sleep is an essential (if not the most important) part of our lives, guaranteeing productivity, physical, and mental well-being. This is something each traveller needs after a long journey, especially when combined with severe jet lag. At Hotel Konvin, visitors can choose between different options depending on the number of guests. There are twin, double, triple, quadruple and family rooms on the premises. All of them are spacious and equipped with a flat-screen TV, and coffee and tea-making facilities.

The hotel’s location means you can easily reach some of the most spectacular sights on the Reykjanes Peninsula: from a rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates to Gunnuhver Geothermal Area and the Blue Lagoon spa resort. Even if your stay in Iceland is meant to be short, you can still enjoy some local sights such as the Icelandic Museum of Rock ‘n’ Roll and Viking World, housing a full-scale replica of a 9th-century Viking ship. Both are just a five-minute drive from the hotel. What Visitors Say A family room at Hotel Konvin. Photo konvin.is. In their reviews, the majority of the hotel’s guests mention the convenient location and size of rooms, which are often described as “cosy” and “spotlessly clean.” “Perfect for an airport stop off. The rooms are big, cosy and spotlessly clean. Groceries and snacks available at reception” Ellie Woods “Clean hotel, love the rooms, they are very big and spacious, also the bed and blankets are super soft. Breakfast is small but good” Melly “Rooms and service were very good, the rooms were clean, and the showers were great. We went to the bistro and got the bearnaise burger - it was the best burger i have gotten in iceland! A total surprise, but it was awesome!!” Maja Skou Jensen Final Thoughts Hotel Konvin guarantees guests a warm welcome in a country where the cold climate often contrasts with the heartfelt nature of the locals.
