This affordable and well-run hotel is located in a town on the eastern outskirts of Reykjavik. It's well located if you have a car and need a nice place to stay near Reykjavik but outside of town. We found it quite by accident after a day of touring the Golden Circle. It's in a residential area not far from the... More

We have just returned from our 2nd stay at the Hotel Laxnes. Our first trip was in Jan last year and we had such a great time at this lovely little hotel, including a fabulous show of the northern lights , that we had to return to experience this wonderful country without all of the snow. The hotel itself is... More

We stayed for 5 nights in March at Hotel Laxnes and I'd definitely return! It's clean, comfortable and friendly. The staff are great at recommending trips and things to do and can arrange trips and car hire while you're there so you don't need to commit to anything before you get there by prebooking trips.

What an ace hotel, tonnes of the character of iceland very quirky we loved it.. Fantastic location, out in a small town so nice and rural, but only 15 mins from Reykyavik where we went for trips.. Rooms spacious, clean and has stunning veiws of the mountains from the windows. Definitely not a boring 'chain' hotel!.. As for the staff,... More

Though close enough to Reykjavik and other attractions, first room that was offered was decidedly not charming! the Hallway smelled horribly and the room smelled of disinfectant. Bathroom was tiny. Offered another room which was somewhat nicer but available for only the first day of the two. Only other room was a suite so paid the surcharge and upgraded. Room... More

For our first trip to Iceland we decided to stay a little away from the city center and get in touch with nature. Hotel Laxnes is amazing! It is surrounded by beautiful hiking trails and streams, extremely close to mountains. The morning view is absolutely amazing. It is also only a short city bus ride to Reykavik center and we... More

Hotel Laxnes was perfect for our needs on our recent photography trip - the ideal `launch pad` to hit the road early in the morning and get into the interior (north, South or East) with the minimum of hassle. Coming back at night (or the following day depending on Aurora activity) we knew we would have a warm room and... More

This basic B&B certainly makes up for its out-of-town location with friendly staff and great service. Rooms are simple - but you don't come to Iceland to hang out in your room. Breakfast is buffet style and hearty enough to set you up for a day's exploring. Lovely staff member (sorry, didn't catch your name Mr Helpful South African Accent... More

We chose the Hotel Laxnes because of the good reviews on Trip adviser. It is a Budget style motel with fantastic views of the mountains to the North. The room were fine although a bit hot for the first couple of days. Sean and the rest of the staff were great and helped in advice and tours. We chose the... More
