Top Gljufrasteinn-Laxness Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Reykjavík Grand

8/10 Good

"The property was nice but there was a trip hazard coming out of the rooms on the first floor just before the steps. Also the light switches were confusing"

ASKA Heiðmörk

8/10 Good

"I’d recommend this place for your last night or 2 in Reykjavík, before driving back to the airport. It’s a basic room, comfortable and clean. Some things to note: 1. There is usually no staff onsite. 2. You need to register online as a guest prior to arrival. I did that while on the international flight via wifi. Provide a copy of your identification. Only then will you receive a door access code, and only on the day of your arrival, not days before. Don’t wait until you arrive at the hotel to register. You’ll be stuck in the parking lot like others I saw there. 2. The outside door has an easy to use keypad. Once inside, the door to your room lacks a visible keypad. Tap on the black plastic panel on the room door a few times and a few different ways and the hidden keypad will light up. We and another couple struggled with that at first. 3. The coffee grinder machine was sufficient, but walk across the street to Lindabakari. Great pastry selection and delicious coffee. The weather was sunny (in September) so I walked. It’s in the parking lot with the Bonus grocery store. 4. They only provided 2 medium towels. We stayed 3 nights. I contacted the management via WhatsApp, and they quickly responded that towels were onsite and available. Trying all the doors in the lobby, I found a cart of wash cloths (small), so I took some. We used our beach towels to dry off after a shower (we brought them for the thermal pools). They need to provide several large bath towel per night!"

"So romantic and charming! Lovely way to conclude our Iceland visit."

Alva Hotel Brautarholt

10/10 Excellent

"After checking into a couple self check in places we realized that you must enter the code in slowly, it seems if you press the numbers quickly that it doesn't recognize it and fails. Once we figured it out the self check in went smoothly."

ODDSSON Midtown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Parking was always a mission every night but once we asked we found which parking lot we could park in for free until 8:30am. The breakfast was mid, waffles were the best part. Breakfast ends at 10 but every day the staff would start cleaning away the breakfast items early. Room was very comfortable and they provide ear plugs because at times during the night the wind would whistle against the building. Small fridge to share with other guests on each floor."

Hotel Laxnes

8/10 Good

"Very quiet area of town outside Reykjavik. Hotel was clean and had plenty of amenities. Only scary part was someone walking into our hotel room at 2am because the door wasn’t closed properly. Didn’t learn till after that you have to lift door for it to properly lock. Overall, was a nice stay"

Esjan

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our time in our static bus. The views of the mountain were superb, and it was nice to be able to walk some way up the side of it, to about 150 m. I could have gone higher if I was suitably equipped. The bus itself was well equipped, though the kettle took a long time to boil. We planned our hot drinks well in advance. Linda was very helpful and supplied a bowl to do the dishes as there was no stopper in the sink. The toilets and showers were close by and worked very well. Great location close to the highway with good views over the bay towards Reykjavik."
