"We had a total of 12 people in our group and this property setup was perfect. People ages 8 months to 65 years. Location was great for exploring Snaefellness but not too far away from Reykjavik to discourage golden circle activities. Road is pretty easy to find, don’t need 4x4 but take it slow. Need cell phone access for getting to the property. We got to see northern lights while there so that was nice. Absolutely recommend staying here"

Top Akranes Hotel Reviews

Hotel Reykjavík Grand

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was beautiful and clean"

Center Hotels Plaza

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel on a perfect location to the harbour and restaurants. Great service as well. Rooms get quite hot in the summer (no a/c) but a fan is available in the room to cool it off."

Fosshotel Reykjavik

10/10 Excellent

"The location is great—you can walk to city center. The view from the high-floor room was amazing. On the day I stayed, the parking lot was closed due to construction, so I had to park at a nearby parking facility. Parking in Zone P4 was free from 4:00 PM to 8:00 AM. The front desk staff kindly explained everything to me."

Reykjavik Residence Apartment Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Checking in was a puzzle. You have to go to the main office downtown to access any of the hotels"

Center Hotels Arnarhvoll

10/10 Excellent

"Desk staff were very helpful in dealing with our very early arrival, also with suggestions for shopping for replacement for lost raincoat. Great suggestion for restaurant for dinner. Loved the location. DO NOT USE MY NAME"

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

8/10 Good

"Clean comfortable room Easy to check in Nice bathroom Walking distance to downtown My only complaint was the black out curtains only covered half the windows, so minimal privacy as the building across could see inside our room and it didn't get completely dark."
