This was my 3rd time staying at Laxnes and it is always a joy. Great staff, clean rooms, breakfast spread is very solid. It is easy to get on Bus #15 to get into the center of Reykjavik. Would highly recommend this hotel!

Good stay at the hotel - we had an outside hut. Children found it fun and we all slept well! Only con was that the shower would overflow so showering had to be quick! Breakfast was fair, only a few options but sufficient. I'd recommend a stay to others.

Best holiday ever!!!! The hotel was perfectly placed outside of the City, this meant it was quieter, less busy and the views were incredible. The Northern Lights appeared right outside our balcony so we had our own private showing! There were shops nearby for supplies and seemingly some good transport links (we rented a car) there was lots of parking at the hotel and around jt. The staff were very friendly, the owner was brilliant too! He took his time to show us around and give us history of the area etc. The room was big (family room) and the beds were very comfortable, the bathroom was good for what we needed with good water pressure. The room was warm and cozy for the cold. There was also a fridge and microwave close by outside the room although we didnt use these. We are planning our next trip to Iceland and we will definitely be booking here jf we can

Owners were so nice, both the woman and man. The location is great, especially with a car. There is a bar in the reception that is lively on weekends and quiet on weekdays, not a problem either way, as it is removed from the rooms. 10/10 would recommend and would love to come back

We had a nice large room and bathroom. A refrigerator and kitchen sink and counter was nice to have in the room. Staff was very attentive. We met the owner and he showed us around. Some of the furnishings are from his grandparents. Large portrait of him on one of the exterior walls. A delightful stay!

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.

Overall very convenient location. Everything you need nearby such as groceries, restaurants and gas with some main attractions within an hour or two driving distance. It is very quiet here which is awesome. My critique is to give guests more than one towel, give a bit more shampoo and soap. Also the person who cleans the rooms needs to do a better job. There were multiple bugs as well as hairballs throughout.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your balanced approach to highlighting the positive aspects of the hotels location. We are always more than happy to offer more towels and soaps when requested by guests, we would have welcomed your request if you would have asked our staff. In terms of the cleaning, we have discussed this with the cleaning team after reading your review, and we will certainly improve this. We have usually an excellent cleaning record, we apologize we slipped up in this case.

Property was clean, not a luxury hotel but a great place to sleep and shower. The hotel bar is fantastic for drinks and to play pool or darts. My only complaint is that I was sure i had booked a room upstairs with a window however I was told they were full upon arrival. Could have a been a mix up with Expedia so I hate to blame the hotel. Staff are great and will stay again, only next time I am calling ahead to make sure I have a room with a window.cause the view to the mountains is great!

too much like a old run down motel. Our room was hot while the temperature outside was 5 degrees celsius. there was no thermostat and no way of adjusting the temperature in our room ourselves. The pillows you sleep on were the covered matching bedspread pillows on top of the bedspread. There were no other pillows. So the pillows were dirty and unconfortable.
