Icelandic Lake House, hotel in Akranes

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Icelandic Lake House is situated in Akranes. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi.

The location is beautiful, and the house has everything you need, cozy, but spacious. The kitchen has everything you need, even extra oil, spices, pasta, coffee, in case you miss something. We have not used the gas grill outside though. And the living room has breath taking views, and on top of that, the hut-tub outside.

Reykjavik Marina - Berjaya Iceland Hotels, hotel in Akranes

Set in the popular 101 harbour district of Berjaya Reykjavik Marina Hotel offers free Wi-Fi access. All rooms include a flat-screen TV and either city or harbor views.

The hotel is much more interesting on the inside than it looks from outside! We loved the quirky, original styling. Everything was well maintained and spotlessly clean. The beds were comfy and the bed linens and towels were of a high standard. The staff were attentive and the breakfast was very nice. There is free parking very close by.

Hotel Laxarbakki, hotel in Akranes

Situated next to Iceland’s Ring Road, Laxarbakki offers apartments with free WiFi access and a furnished terrace with views of River Laxá. Akranes town centre is 12 km away.

Really lovely hotel. The owner was super nice and served us food even though the kitchen had just closed for the evening. The views from the back "garden" are amazing, and the hot tub and sauna available are perfect to relax in after a long day of travelling. The room itself had everything we needed. I would definitely come back :)

    The Guðlaug hot tub on the beach is a 'must-visit'.

    The Guðlaug hot tub on the beach is a 'must-visit'. If the outdoor location is a bit wild for you, it is also situated right next to the sports centre which has a heated pool. Also; whilst I drove through the tunnel to get to Akranes, I recommend using the scenic route to get back. It does add a bit of time to your journey, but the landscape and scenery is fantastic.

    Very nice small town, in 40 min from Reykjavik and near to many attractions in Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland, so it's perfect location to visit many interesting places around. The place to be in Akranes, for sure is a Lighthouse, since 1944, unique in Iceland which is possible to visit inside, climbing to the top. From the top you can see a beautiful panorama of 360° , this wonderful and romantic place offer some exhibitions and local music concerts. Climbe the Lighthouse! After climbing Lighthouse, may be you will be a little bit hungry, so have a nice lucnh or a dinner in Gamla Kaupfélagið can be very good idea. Very nice ambience, good local foog and local beer. Enjoy Akranes in every season!

    Akranes is some distance from Reykjavik, maybe an hours drive through a 6 km underground tunnel or 2 hours around the coast road. Don’t be put off though - the coast road leads through stunning views, there’s no delays or queues, its well maintained and passable in extreme weather- it’s a fantastic journey in itself. I wouldn’t say that public transport is particularly good though. There are no trains and buses are infrequent Akranes itself is a quiet residential area with an interesting fishing history. There are a few grocery stores, at least one open till late and the local pool is decent, maybe not to the standard of some of the other local spas and pools nearer the capital, but certainly better than Council facilities where I live.

    Quaint little seaside town with some interesting history.

    Quaint little seaside town with some interesting history. There are limited dining opportunities but Gamla Kaupfélagið is quite good with fresh local caught seafood dishes that will surely please. Drive the tunnel under the bay but don't miss the drive around bay on Hwy 47.

    Lovely town and great base to explore the beautiful Western Region of Iceland. Also easy access to Reykjavík. Good cinema (Biohollin), lovely new restaurant (Gamla Kaupfélagiðand) and a documentary film festival (IceDocs) in mid-July. A trip to the hot pool by the football stadium and the lighthouse are highly recommended.

    Very clean, spacious and lovely furnished lower part of a house where the hosts live upstairs. Coffee, tea and condensed milk were as much available as recommendations for exciting tourist destinations, shampoo, different cleaners and towels which even were washed & renewed during our stay. Enough spark for parking more than one car. The hosts were really hospitable and easy to get in touch with. If possible we will come to Akranes and book this accommodation again one day. Thanks for everything.

    We had a nice stay. The rooms and radiators were a little bit cold, which was surprising giving all Iceland geothermal energy. The kitchen was fine. Nice public shared living area. Quick and good information from the owner via the booking app. About 5 km. away is a nice public hot swimming pool. Beds OK. Cleanness OK Very good and free parking facilities. All in all good value for money. We liked it.

    Really nice structure, for us it was a perfect one night stay on our way back to Reykjavik! Kitchen and dining area were big clean and provided with all the tools you need (only colander was missing but we noticed that it is a common fact in Iceland's structures ahah). Rooms were big and clean, the same for the bathrooms. Quality/price ratio was super, couldn't ask for more.

    Everything about this Cabin and location was just perfect. I have been to Iceland many times and it can be hard to find a property like this. If you want to get away from it all to relax and explore Iceland's West and South West then this is the perfect location. The hosts were amazing to deal with as well. I would definitely book this property again.

    Coffee and tea all day in the kitchen. Big kitchen, too, and a large sitting room. Self checkin was super easy, and the location was great. Excellent value for Iceland, one of the best I found in the entire country. I would definitely recommend a stay here if you need a place to crash within a few hours of Reykjavik.

    Stayed on our first night in Iceland. Good location, Mountain View one side and ocean the other. 5 minute drive to local supermarket. The room was very warm and bed comfortable, everything you would need in the kitchen. The cottage was very clean. No complaints at all and would recommend for couples or families.

    We deliberately stayed at the Icelandic Lake House for the second time because we feel very comfortable there. The house is in a quiet location and incredibly cosy. You feel right at home. There is simply nothing missing. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, a hot tub invites you to relax.

    The property was more than we expected - we wished we could have spent more time there! The hosts are very kind and a accommodating and let us borrow their bikes to explore Akranes. Because of Covid we had the entire property to ourselves. This would be great for a family looking for a vase near Reykjavik.
