Narfasel Farmhouse was the perfect size and location for our family of 4. It had all the amenities, comfortable beds, the kids loved sleeping in the loft. Asta and Filip were super responsive—one of our scheduled tours was canceled due to weather and they helped us find new plans which turned out to be amazing (hiked Glymur waterfall 10/10!). I highly recommend the farmhouse as a stop in Iceland!

It was in the center of town. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean.
Newly renovated during the spring of 2023, Hotel Local 101 is an independent hotel quietly tucked away in the heart of downtown Reykjavik, on a charming street made up of classical Icelandic homes.

The rooms are spacious and comfortable with full kitchens. We had a balcony that looked out on the small river. Friendly staff (family owned hotel). It was very relaxing being out in the countryside.

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.
The location is amazing and the surroundings are breathtaking. We loooved our beautiful cottage and it made our last night in Iceland very special. The bed was so comfy and the bathroom was clean. It was very warm inside with the heating. The tiny kitchen was just what we needed to prepare some quick meals. We would love to spend at least two nights in the area next time and explore Akranes.
This property has beautiful furnitures and is spacious, I was feeling at home in this place. It is located in front of Akranes theater and few minutes away from the old Akranes lighthouse. The owners are very friendly and will provide you with tips and advise to make your stay unforgettable.
Well equipped guesthouse with a small briefcase full of woolen mittens and hats from a local producer that you can purchase. It's located below the mountains where you can hike or visit the Akranesviti lighthouse. Easy self check-in with clear instructions.
Regarding the unnecessary stress, I was not able to enjoy my stay. When choosing this accommodation I thought the location was nice for exploring the northwest of Iceland.
