They keep the whole property very clean and tidy. , the washrooms are impeccably clean , The pods are comfortable enough for 2 . The staff is very helpful and answered our messages really quickly even when it was late at night. Prices are the one of the more affordable in the area. Highly recommended.

Fun pods, great layout and space. Loved the kitchen and especially the coffee machine. Was a great stay but a little out of town and the shuttle only runs till noon so then only more costly options available to get to the airport. Great stay overall and would book again. Staff were kind/friendly and helpful with questions.

Clean pod. Fun because we felt like we were in space or being cryogenically frozen! Pretty comfy and fine for 2 people (if you like to snuggle a little). Easy check in. Staff was kind and let us store our baggage in the lounge room for the day after we checked out. Nice shared kitchen area with fridge, microwave, coffee machine, air fryer

The pods are comfortable enough for one night , very convenient location, clean bathrooms, kitchen. The only thing which is disturbing is that the pods are squeaky every single time someone moves in them. Especially when you are in the lower one you hear every move the person above you makes.

You get to stay in a pod! How cool is that. The pods are comfy and the bathrooms and showers are clean. A 5 minute cab ride to the airport, and a 45 min bus ride or drive to Reykjavik. This place is perfect if you just need a place to sleep and to get ready for your adventures. Staying here and rent a car is the way to go. Also, Biryani is a short walk away and they have great food.

A simple place to get some rest. Clean and efficient. This is a small business and not a chain. It was very nice if you have a layover and need some sleep.

The pods are a clever way to have inexpensive rooms for short stays. Checking in is easy. You have a locker in which to store your belongings. Your key card is in there along with clean towels. To access the pod, you need to use the key card. Once inside, put the key card in the slot to enable the lights and other electronics. It is fairly large for what it is. There is a fan to help with those that might feel claustrophobic. Because of the size of the space, I never felt claustrophobic.

Much better than anticipated! Pods are unconventional. Like big Tupperware containers but surprisingly comfortable and very warm. The bathrooms were shared, but individual bathrooms with showers. They were kept very clean. All of the guests were quiet and respectful of others.

What you see in the ad is what you get. It is shared accommodations, but it is clean and the other guests were respectful. The bathrooms/showers were very clean. I will be back for short stays as it is a great low cost option while staying in near Keflavik. Don't expect any communication with staff or operators. It is an automated business without human contact.

Very easy to check in, clean and modern WC units, pods themselves were not claustrophobic because of fairly tall ceiling. The kitchen with fantastic coffee machine and even air fryer was very much appreciated.

We needed a place to catch a few hours of sleep between flights and are soooo grateful for Viking Pods!!! It allowed us to refresh (and freshen up) before our long flight during our layover.

We enjoyed our stay here on our layover from London to America. The staff was helpful and let us store our luggage while we explored the area. There were some toiletries to use and food to eat from other travelers. I would stay here again if I had a night layover in Iceland.

Positive: Best shower of our whole trip. Blue Viking is an economical and convenient place to stay for a short layover at KEF. Negative: It’s not as soundproof in the pods as you might like (but it’s OK). We recommend for others - we had a 17 hour layover, and this place saved us. So much nicer to have a real sleep, shower, and walk to a meal instead of staying the airport.

This stay was a wonderful experience. I’d never stayed in a pod before but everyone in the area was super considerate of being as quiet as possible and helpful. The space inside of the pod was more than expected and it was very comfortable.
