Hotel Laxnes

Nice, spacious room located close to a variety of restaurants, fast-food spots, and supermarkets. Conveniently near the highway exit, but surprisingly quiet. Parking is available right in front of the rooms—very practical. 📦 Accessibility notes If you're traveling with large suitcases, consider requesting a ground-floor room, as there's no lift. 🧳 Room amenities There’s no hairdryer provided, but the kettle and mini fridge make it quite handy for short stays.

I’d definitely recommend or come back here myself. The lady at reception (didn’t catch her name) was lovely, she even checked us in 2 hours early free of charge and gave us a complimentary 30 minutes hot tub (i used this on my birthday which was lovely!) the hotel is clean and rooms are spacious with a brilliant mountain view. We had supermarket 30 seconds down the road as well as some fast food places which was convenient as we had lots of things booked. The staff we were friendly and the tours that Hotel Laxnes have on their website are great. We did northern lights and golden circle through their website and it was brilliant.

Hotel Laxnes is an unique, quaint hotel with various artifacts on display on the second floor, illustrating farming life in Iceland in times past. The Icelandic poet and author, Halldór Kiljan Laxnes, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955, is also featured, including a large mural of him on the outside wall as you approach the building. He used to live on the Þingvellir road, just a few miles away. The hotel is surrounded by trees and is situated at Háholt, next to a KFC, a filling station, kiosks and a main bus stop, with frequent buses into Reykjavík and a once a day bus to Akureyri.

I liked self check-in possibility. Also I've got very quick answer from owner, about check-in instructions, by phone and via booking.com. Price was very good, especially comparing to other Iceland hotels, good breakfast was included as a present. Room spacious, beds comfortable, all clean. There was kettle in the room and some tea and coffee bags, nice. There are KFC and BONUS store nearby. Recommend this hotel!

We liked the room size of the twin room with ensuite bathroom. Mini fridge was a plus. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Location on our way back to Reykjavík was perfect for us. Free parking. Clean, quiet with a view from the bedroom. Good wifi signal. Bar on site.
