Rustic Farmhouse - Narfasel, hotel in Akranes

Providing a garden, Rustic Farmhouse - Narfasel features accommodations in Akranes. Housed in a building dating from 2020, this vacation home provides free Wifi and free private parking.

Super convenient location with stunning views, this little gem of a place is not to be missed. The beds were comfortable and made up with crisp linens. The kitchen was well appointed and even had coffee. But the very best part was the giant wall of windows that overlooked the expansive surrounds! Please go and stay at Asta and Filips place, you won't be disappointed!

The Reykjavik EDITION, hotel in Akranes

Located in Reykjavík, a 7-minute walk from Solfar Sun Voyager, The Reykjavik EDITION provides accommodations with a fitness center, private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Breakfast was delicious! The Lobby bar was our favorite. Staff there were very friendly and taught us about Icelandic gin and vodka! That was fun! Valet parking was a breeze and the front desk 100% there for all our needs! The Easter egg delivered to our room was a class act and very yummy too! Thank you for that!

Exeter Hotel, hotel in Akranes

This contemporary design hotel is set in Reykjavík's Old Harbor area, 1640 feet from Harpa Concert Hall & Conference Center.

The hotel is incredible, very modern with great facilities in the room and a very comfortable bed. The location is perfect on the Harbour everything you'll need on your trip is so close, from restaurants to tours and museums. Downstairs in basically the lobby is the best bakery you'll ever have the pleasure of eating in, it's called DEIG even if you're not staying at the Exeter make sure you go to the bakery, in the same complex is TAIL which is a bar with live music during the week, and next to that is LE COCK a fantastic restaurant with incredible burgers and wings, all in all the Exeter is by far the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Hotel Laxarbakki, hotel in Akranes

Located next to Iceland’s Ring Road, Laxarbakki offers apartments with free WiFi access and a furnished terrace with views of River Laxá. Akranes town center is 7.5 mi away.

Nice room, in the middle of nowhere, meaning no light pollution if you want to watch northern light. And large windows, meaning you can monitor and take Northern light pictures from inside the room. I took this picture right from the porch

    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.

    Our stay was wonderful! The house was so clean and had everything we needed for our first night in Iceland. We climbed the lighthouse and explored town. There's a cool underwater tunnel that connects to the town from the south (turn your car vent to recirculation of air) 😉. The owners provided great information about the area and places we planned on going. Thanks!

    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.

    Near in everything of this wonderful city! The room was excellent. The hotel had everything you need for starting your day. You can eat breakfast, cooking, reading. The space was very clean and organized. We stayed very happy with reasonable money to spend. Easy to find parking and to find this hostel. Quiet at night!

    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.

    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.

    it central to Akranes and compared to most other accommodation, it had breakfast included but the one thing that added to the value of the property was the hospitality we received from the host. this was absolutely phenomenal and we highly recommend this to anyone visiting Iceland / Akranes

    Such a nice, cozy, homey place to finish our first ring road trip to Iceland. Our family had the whole floor to us with kitchen, dining and living rooms. The host waited to greet us at arrival and told us places of interest nearby. Wish we could stay longer to enjoy it. Next time.

    The instruction was very kind with all information I needed including getting into my room in detail. Me and my wife enjoyed the coffee the guesthouse provided. Might not be same for others, but it was best morning coffee we had in Iceland for me and my wife :)

    This is a great location outside of RVK. With a car you could base yourself here and do day trips to most of Western Iceland. Save the time getting out of RVK. Cute little village.
