Wonderful! The bed was extremely comfortable, we both slept very well and our backs appreciated the bed. Very interesting antiques throughout which we enjoyed. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. We would gladly stay there again.
Cool place. Very close to Hwy 1. Lots of places to eat in town and good groceries/ bakery

Was not given what we booked
maybe i was given the wrong room.
i booked a room with a mountain view and kitchenette.
we chose this hotel for the kitchenette- but there was none.
and we had a kfc view, not a mountain view.
i wish they'd ban smoking outside doors - cigarettes smoke prevented us from having the balcony door open.
I was tired and did not see much of the property but had a free gull with a local guy and good conversation and got a load of laundry done only bad thing breakfast was served later than i wanted to stay so I missed it and that was my choice perfect launching point for the golden circle
The parking was a bit confusing. We were 2 people but only 1 glass, not enough cutlery for 2 people. I would also suggest that extra towels would be a nice option...otherwise small but perfect for 2 people
Accueil chaleureux fort sympathique! Personnel attentif à nos besoins. Belle chambre confortable avec petite cuisinette très pratique. Excellent endroit pour y séjourner.
Best hotel I stayed at in Iceland. I am not sure if they have laundry as an accommodation, like listed on hotels.com.

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.

All staff are very kind especially Jeffrey. He is very accomodating and easy to talk.
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.
Clean, comfortable room with good complimentary breakfast. Enjoyed the bar- probably the cheapest draft beer I found in Iceland! Activity room stocked with chess, other games. Would stay again!
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.
