We were greeted upon arrival by friendly patrons enjoying some libations and our check in was quick and pleasant. We really enjoyed our one night stay.There were three of us and the room was spacious and had 4 twin beds. These were the best beds ever. So comfortable we slept through breakfast. It also had a nice sitting area for watching tv and was convenient located by several take out restaurants. Our room even had a balcony. We would definitely recommend this lovely Hotel Laxnes.

Its a motel, not hotel..
Location is very good. Hotel is old and I can compare it to Motel 6 for room quality. Nowhere compared to the price we paid. In fact, we booked it for almost $500.. one day before the visit it was down to $168 but we couldnt do anything. Room is appropriate for $168 price point. No separate shower. Use shower in bathtub which was very slippery. Uncomfortable beds. Mist check in by 11. If you are late then no backup. Breakfast is mediocre. I do not recommend paying extra for "breakfast package".

This place felt like a motel. Very basic room with no amenities except for a kettle for hot water and few tea bags. Poor housekeeping as no towels were placed in the room.

This place was so cute and had so many different/strange decorations. But it was so nice to stay at and the staff was so nice and funny. The breakfast was just your typical hotel breakfast but still good.

Very friendly and accommodating. Low key and quiet. Walkable to everything you need. Only real complaint is that the beds were very stiff.

This was my 3rd time staying at Laxnes and it is always a joy. Great staff, clean rooms, breakfast spread is very solid. It is easy to get on Bus #15 to get into the center of Reykjavik. Would highly recommend this hotel!

The lobby/bar area was comfortable and full of locals, which made staying at the Hotel Laxnes a true Icelandic experience. We had great north-facing windows for observing the Northern Lights, which added to our visit.

Good stay at the hotel - we had an outside hut. Children found it fun and we all slept well! Only con was that the shower would overflow so showering had to be quick! Breakfast was fair, only a few options but sufficient. I'd recommend a stay to others.
