Reviews
The hotel is conveniently located close to Keflavík Airport, about a 5,000 ISK taxi ride away. It’s a bit far from the town center, but there is a large supermarket within a 30-minute walk. The price felt reasonable for what was offered.
The room was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean. The shower room and toilet were separate, and the shower room had heated floors, which was especially nice.
As mentioned in other reviews, rooms on the first floor seem a bit older. We experienced some minor issues, such as the toilet door not having a lock and the toilet water running continuously. However, when we contacted the hotel via Booking.com chat, they responded quickly and resolved the issues.
We were hoping for an ocean view, but from the first-floor room we stayed in, that wasn’t really possible.
The room was clean & beds comfy. The long shower curtain helps to prevent the shower water from flying all over the room but it gets slimy.
Extremely disappointed in this "hotel".
Note: We booked with Expedia - Don't use them either. We had looked at reviews online prior to our trip, and Hotel Duus had pretty high ratings (8/10+). When we arrived at the hotel, our room had not been cleaned from the previous occupants. The sheets were filthy, and there was human hair all over the bedding. We requested the room be cleaned, and someone came and changed the bedding and light cleaning. We came back in and did a closer inspection, and the room was still filthy. Dental floss on the floor in the bathroom, the towels were dusty and covered in hair, the windowsills were covered in dirt, and the fan in the bathroom looked like it was covered in mold. In addition, this hotel DOES NOT have any internal locks, so if someone has the code to your room, they can enter. We chose not to stay here as we were disgusted. We reached out to the hotel and they will not refund us, and have been fighting with Expedia who says they are bound by the hotels policy and won't refund us either.
