The local pool was lovely - we went in the evening, so it was dark (I really like this).
There was a local cafe/bar that served some great value meals - the lamb chops were sublime.
There is a lovely friendly vibe in Borganes, and I would highly recommend putting it on your trip.

It is a bit run down but it is quiet and the beds are comfortable. Like most of Iceland in our experience, the pillows could be better. Hot pot, coffee, tea, cream and sugar are provided, which was nice. There is free parking, however I can imagine at times it may be hard to find a spot as the lot supports the restaurant as well. We had dinner at the restaurant, food was good and the portion was large.
In a nutshell, this is a decent budget accommodation, with a restaurant on site which makes it convenient. If you plan to eat at the restaurant, make a reservation before 5pm. They were able to squeezed us in without one but there were many who were not as lucky.

Borgarnes is underrated as it doesn't have any bucket-list...
Borgarnes is underrated as it doesn't have any bucket-list sights. It's a mid-size small town by Iceland standards, but it's got a lot to recommend it - it's a very typical Icelandic place, and one with a variety of landscapes and bay views.
The Settlement Museum is overpriced (as most Icelandic museums are), but even without a visit there, Borgarnes is a good place for walking. It also has some decent to excellent eateries (the Bara bar and restaurant in the heart of the town is outstanding, and even the N1 station cooks up some of Iceland's best meat soup.)

Beautiful views. Lots to do and see.
Beautiful views. Lots to do and see. An area with a lot of history. A good for both people who like to do independent activities and people who prefer guided tours. It is the place of viking settlements and the sagas. There is a Settlement museum to learn about it. Waterfalls and a la a tube cave you can take a tour of.

We had a few hours here on the way to the Basalt Hotel. Car parking was free. There was a pathed route to walk around the coast. We had coffee and lunch at a wonderful place called Blómasetríð - Kaffi Kyrrð. We sat outside in a beautiful courtyard/garden. The food was excellent and the staff were polite and kind.

Drove by car from Keflavik at 10 AM - visited Akranes lighthouse and nice museum - had great vegetarian buffet lunch in Borgarness - at a vikkingmuseum.
Drove to our hotel and then to the KRAUMA spa and we had dinner there.
Next day we drove to the waterfalls Barnafoss, then to visit the lavagrotto and took over the highland on the road 550 back towards Reykjavik. Great tour!
The property was off the beaten path with a charming room. The host welcomed us with champagne, shrimp and cavier. The bed was very comfortable and the facilities were modern and updated. There is also a hot tub to enjoy and breakfast in the morning with a wonderful view. The breakfast was better than any restaurant we’ve been to here. By FAR one of the nicest ladies we’ve met in Iceland; she was welcoming, informative and gracious. This place does not disappoint.
The Staff at Hafnarfjall went above and beyond during our stay! Not only did they upgrade our room but they had made a special note and congratulated us on arrival as we had just got engaged. Our room upgrade meant that we stayed in the largest room in the hotel, with a balcony and a beautiful view of the mountain and the room was massive with a TV (which had netflix!) and both of the gentlemen we spoke to at reception were so lovely and welcoming and helpful!
The Basalt Hotel staff crew has been exceptional in communication. We had a last minute flight cancellation which would result in a 3am hotel check-in. The Basalt crew handled our situation really well.
Our room was exceptionally huge for its size. We loved the view of our room and we even had daily housekeeping.
The outdoor hot tub was something we enjoyed using, especially after a long day out.
Hotel breakfast was ok, good to have.
Fjola and Jon were outstanding hosts. Our apartment on their farm was a haven for our stay near Borgarnes. Views of the surrounding fields were great, and such a nice change from city hotels. The apartment had everything we needed, including a filter coffee maker. The weather turned overnight, and roads were closed the next morning. Fjola kindly informed us of this and offered that we could stay longer, which was very generous.
Nice and cozy hotel. Check-in is fast. Location is convenient and near to restaurants, with lots of parking available. There is also a restaurant within the hotel where pre-reservation is needed. Good choice especially during low period where some restaurants are not opened. Room is decently big and comfortable.
Food served at breakfast are slightly different from others. Love the herring. :)
We stayed in Borgarnes so that we could easily access the Snaefellsnes Peninsula the next morning. The B59 Hotel more than met our needs. As others have written, the spa on the lower level is great to enjoy after a long day of hiking and exploring and we took full advantage of it. We ate dinner in the hotel’s restaurant and it was very good. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Very good value - we had a 22h layover in Iceland, and we were able to rent a car and whole trailer cottage for cheaper than staying at a hotel closer to airport. It was an easy drive with nice views. Great place to sleep before next days flight - we also drove a little more to look at views in the evening. Cozy and functional, with a view to mountain tops.
The location of the hotel was amazing. Perched in a valley with amazing views of the mountain range! The restaurant on site had a wonderful menu and everything was cooked and served perfectly (dinner and breakfast). We enjoyed our stay and will return no doubt!
we arrived about an hour before check in and there was only cleaning staff there, but they called the owner and he made a special trip in to let us in our room early.
even though the hotel is right off hiway 1 it was not very noisy from road noise
It’s a golf course hotel with fantastic views and lovely hot tubs and sauna. Restaurant has views, too. The rooms are very plain and small, but our patio had a phenomenal view of mountains! Beds were just ok, shower was good. Location is good.
Everything!
The movie themed room was awesome. It was like a little home versus a small hotel room. Maja (owner) was very sweet and accommodating. We booked last minute after leave a different hotel down the street.
Spacious room and equipped kitchen with small fridge. Near Route 1. Nice bathroom and clean. Good communication with hotel. Arrived late no issues. Parking in front. Good value for money. Scenery area.
Very helpfull staff. The hostelroom is located in a fancy hotel. Very beautiful interior. For that price... Best price-quality I booked in all Iceland. Good beds, nice food at the restaurant.
Really friendly host in a beautiful location. Borgarnes is a great base to get out and discover this part of Iceland. The accommodation is a real home from home place to stay.
