Gateway to Northwest Iceland, reachable by Reykjavik city buses! Not much happening there, but easy walking or a free bus makes the rounds. Enjoyed the pool and hot pots, of course. The lighthouses (old and new ones) are literally highlights! Nice people, too.

Perfect location.
Perfect location. Not far from charismatic towns of Reykjavik, Borgames, and Stykkisholmur. Gateway to picturesque West Iceland. Few tourists. A charming fishing town. Don't miss the thermal swimming pool and hot tubs.

Akranes does not have a lot of sights, there is a lighthouse and there is a beach. Otherwise the town appears a bit sad.
We ate at the thai restaurant which was ok - the fried shrimp where really good and the rest was ok.

This isn't much of a town.
This isn't much of a town. It's close enough to Reykjavik that you may as well stay there. Very few restaurants - we could only find three and they all closed at 9pm. So after 9pm you're having dinner at the gas station. Really.

Nothing really to do - we went and saw the light house/shipwreck.
weather was bad and that didn't help... but just not an attractive place. we didn't go on hikes though - just passed through.

Pretty fishing town.
Pretty fishing town. Great lighthouse which was unfortunately closed because we arrived too late. Would have offered wonderful view of the harbor. Perfect view of setting sun over the water. Nice restaurants and walking areas.
“Simply a super clean and nice place to rest and reenergize yourself after a long day. Don't forget to check out the Akranes light house close by which gives you awesome views especially at sunset. The place was super comfy and taking a hot shower that is supplied by the hot springs close by was pretty interesting! One of our favorite places to stay during our 1 week in Iceland. ”
“Excellent location. Beautiful historic building with ocean view. Warm, helpful staff. Perfect for our family of 6. We explored picturesque West Iceland coastline, charismatic towns. Enjoyed the thermal swimming pool nearby.”
“It was the most affordable place to stay in the area after doing research for the group of friends I would be traveling with for places near Glymurfoss. We wanted to hike there in the morning. We booked two rooms, 5 person and 2 person, both with own showers. They're in the basement of the building.”
