Keflavík is a town of around 10,200 inhabitants in the Reykjanes region in south-west Iceland. It has now merged with Njarđvík and Hafnir to form a municipality called Reykjanesbćr. Founded in the 16th century, Keflavík developed due to its fishing and fish processing industry. Later its growth continued from tourism and Keflavík International Airport which was built by the US during the 1940s. The airport also holds a significant NATO military base. During WWII and the Cold War, the base played an important role in monitoring marine and submarine traffic from the Norwegian and Greenland sea, into the Atlantic Ocean. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, however, the base's role has been cast into doubt, as there is now little threat from submarines carrying ICBMs.

"I had always wanted to visit Iceland, so in August 2004 I was able to convince the family to go. After doing a little research on where to stay, Hotel Borg, Odinseve, 101, and a few others came to mind. All are wonderful places to stay, but my wife called Hotel Keflavik and we stayed there for the duration of our trip and rented a car for about the same price that it was to stay at the other places. We stayed in a double deluxe room which was big enough for the three of us. So if you don't mind driving (which I think is the best way to see Iceland) then I highly recommend to stay at Hotel Keflavik. Thank you for taking your time to read this review and I hope it can help you in planning your trip to Iceland".
