Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were clean and very cozy with an amazing view of the mountains, making my experience exceptional despite the unlucky weather that hid the northern lights. The service was top-notch, with staff being very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The location was perfect, close to both Keflavik International and Reykjavik, offering a wonderful blend of convenience and natural beauty. The dining experience offered a good variety at a great value, reflecting the overall welcoming atmosphere of the hotel.
The hotel is a cozy spot between Reykjavik and the golden circle attractions, offering good-sized, quiet, and clean rooms. The friendly and helpful service adds to the positive experience, though the location behind a pub might not suit everyone's taste. The dining options are good, especially the waffle maker, but being co-used with a pub can be a drawback.
The hotel offers nice and cosy rooms with good cooking opportunities but breakfast selections are minimal. The location is convenient, surrounded by beautiful scenery, but patrons from the pub behind might affect the quietness. The service is very helpful, especially Tanya at the reception, and they provide tasty dinner alternatives. The dining experience is good with a cold buffet selection, but desserts are quite limited.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean with stunning mountain views, but the furnishings looked a bit tired. The service was impeccable, with the staff always ready to assist and very friendly. The location was exceptional, surrounded by lush trees and close to must-see areas like the Golden Circle. The dining experience offered a wide variety of food, though more options would have been appreciated. Overall, a great value for the money.
I had two separate stays at the hotel and experienced two different rooms. The rooms were basic and hostel-like with dire bedding, but the seating area with a table and balcony were nice additions. The wardrobe was broken, which posed a safety risk, especially for young children.
My stay at Laxnes was pleasant overall. The rooms were dated but clean and functional, with a very large king size bed. The staff was friendly and had good knowledge of the local area. The location was convenient, just a short bus ride away from Reykjavik's center, although the hotel itself was a gem. The dining experience was average, but the waffles were excellent.
