Reykjavik Lights Hotel by Keahotels is a three-star hotel at Suðurlandsbraut 12 in the 108 district of Reykjavik, Iceland, in the commercial area east of the city centre close to Laugardalur valley. The hotel sits near the Laugardalur park, the Reykjavik Botanic Garden, the Reykjavik Zoo and Family Park, the Laugardalslaug swimming pool and the Laugardalshöll arena, so it suits visitors who like green space and family activities. The old town and Laugavegur are a short bus ride away, with several city bus routes serving Suðurlandsbraut, and the walk to the centre takes around forty minutes. The location is often chosen by guests who prefer a quieter setting with easier parking than the old town.

The hotel is operated by the Icelandic Keahotels group. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms and Family Rooms, with the family category giving extra space for children. Listed amenities include a restaurant, a bar and Wi-Fi, so breakfast and evening meals can be taken on site without going into the centre. The hotel's name refers to the Northern Lights, and in winter the quieter surroundings and lower light levels away from the centre can help with aurora spotting on clear nights.

Service character is practical and family-friendly, and the property also suits business travellers visiting offices and venues in the surrounding district. Indicative rates range from about ISK 16,000 to 28,000 (roughly $128-224) per night for a double room, which is among the more affordable mid-range prices in Reykjavik. Guests with a hire car find the location convenient for starting road trips to the Golden Circle or the South Coast, since the main ring road is nearby. Those without a car can use the bus network to reach the centre, the airport coach stops and the tour pick-up points in the old town.
