Location was great, easy access to main roads for day trips. Grocery stores and restaurants very close by as well as gas station. Excellent breakfast and comfortable bed!
Clean and no frills hotel used during our road-trip through Iceland. Staff was very friendly and helpful, providing information on where to eat/stock up on provisions.
Nice little bar and really friendly helpful staff. 2 minutes walk from KFC, Dominos and a Supermarket. Rooms very pleasant and we had the bonus of a lovely cat visit us in the morning!
Location is great.
But they had bugs in the room, a lot. My kids didn’t sleep all night because of bugs. Also some spiders in the room. I don’t think they are cleaned well.
We stayed 10 nights in Iceland in different hotels but only this hotel had this bug issue.
Laxnes is at a great location with Kronan and lots of food options around. The morning breakfast was wholesome and delicious. Would recommend a 100%

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property is located in an area with food service and right off the ring road. Everything was clean, staff was very nice and breakfast was good.
Now the downside, our shower head did not work,Room 15, bath faucet worked fine but we dont take baths in hotel tubs.Also the door to the room never quite locked, there are instructions by the door to lift the handle to lock it but the lock mechanism never went into the latch far enough. So I put the bench in the room against the door especially after a bar patron asked my young niece what room she was staying in. I picked this place thinking it was right outside of town because of the pictures on Expedia showing how dark it was and the northern lights over head. My mistake for not looking at google maps. It was way too bright to see northern lights. Also too many people around the bar on site and on the street yelling and singing. Also maybe a club nearby, kept hearing techno music blasting from outside the window of our room.
