The property is in a great location and was easy to get to. There is no on site parking which can be difficult and the layout is odd - we had to go up to floor 3 from floor 1 to go down to floor 2. It wasn't really far, but more of a hassle with luggage to get to and from the room.

Hotel Kea

Room was excellent. Staff courteous and very attentive to needs. Not sure the hotel can do anything about it due to it being Iceland but when using the water the sulfur smell was strong and the water had a sulfur taste to it. Just used bottle water. Good location
