There were some things I really liked about this hotel: nice breakfast, clean and simple rooms, nice walking path nearby. My primary complaint is that we went in late May, and it doesn’t actually get dark that time of year, and the black out curtains didn’t reach the edges of the very large windows, so it was incredibly bright in our room. Our young children were up till 1 am and up for the day at 6. It was awful. I think I would have enjoyed the stay much more during a different time of year.

Cozy and comfortable room. Location is within walking distance (10 minutes) of various places to eat and a grocery store. Does not have hairdryer and conditioner. The horse farm is about 10 minutes drive; highly recommend. The breakfast is ok but convenient (no bacon, no scrambled eggs; grill 66 has that and is 10-12 minutes walk). I would stay here again.

Everything is perfect, except we couldn’t get the mountain view and couldn’t see the northern light due to the weather! Apart from that, it was perfect, only 30 mins from the city by car, I will definitely recommend this hotel.

Neighborhood stay

We stayed here so we could get a feel for other areas other than Reykjavík. It was more of a neighborhood rather than a tourist destination. It was a great chance to interact with everyday Icelanders for lack of a better term. We met some local farmers in the bar celebrating the gathering of their livestock for the winter. We learned that the day was a very big deal for them and felt privileged to have been included in celebrating their good fortune.

This place felt like a motel. Very basic room with no amenities except for a kettle for hot water and few tea bags. Poor housekeeping as no towels were placed in the room.

Kevin

Liked: Cleanliness
My husband and I had a decent experience. Staff members were pleasant. We enjoyed playing billiards, and we liked our hotel room, though we wished there were curtains that blacked out the light. The hot tub was extremely hot - way too hot for our liking, and we were disappointed to not be able to enjoy, as a result. Hotel does not have a consistent feel, and it was too quirky for our liking. Hotel had arranged for a cab to pick us up from the hotel at 3:45am to bring us to the airport for an early morning flight, though the cab never came, and we were left scrambling.

We loved our stay at Hotel Laxnes. The staff were friendly and welcoming! There was space in the fridge for groceries, which was a plus since we stocked up for our trip to the South the next day. The room was clean and comfortable, and we had a good rest—ready for our Iceland adventure. I truly recommend this hotel.
