Watch out for hidden fees

On check in I was told I had to pay a tourist tax, which I did assuming it was normal in the Reykjavik area. However afterwards I checked the booking receipt and it claimed that taxes were included in the price. Also some internet research suggests tourist tax applies throughout Iceland yet all the other hotels we stayed at included it in the price.

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.

Served its purpose. We only slept here for one night, and I can’t say that we would have stayed for more. For the Americans traveling through, this “hotel,” is what we would define as a motel. Also, something very important to note, there is a cutoff for check-in! You need to arrive before 2200ish.

Spacious room, comfortable bed, good shower pressure. European locking door had us a bit confused, but no problem once we got shown lol. Decent pizza place nearby, but mostly fast food otherwise. Has a small kitchen area with a microwave.

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.

This property is clean and good value for money BUT we stayed in Room 1 which is next to the outdoor bar seating. (The hotel and bar are combined) We had gone to bed early to have an early start the next day but it was SO LOUD as bar patrons were screaming and chanting and singing, also this outdoor area is the smoking area and we could smell the cigarettes. Room 1 really shouldn't be used for guests when the outdoor space is open. Maybe if you get a room farther away you wouldn't hear the bar noise.

A good location near the city but away from the noise and lights. The view from our windows were great. The best thing though is the people! Anna had lots of friendly advice and helpful suggestions and Birita was lovely. The owner also introduced himself.
