Teigur Guesthouse, hotel in Akranes

Providing inner courtyard views, Teigur Guesthouse in Akranes features accommodations, free bikes, and a shared lounge. This beachfront property offers access to free Wifi and free private parking.

Wow, what an exceptional place! This was one of our favorites during our trip along the Ring Road. The hosts welcomed us when we arrived in the night, and took time to explain everything for our stay and some things we could do in and around the area of Akranes. They stay upstairs so are easily reachable. There's only one other room, so I believe the bathroom is only shared with up to 2-3 other guests. All facilities, including the room, bathroom, living room, and kitchen, were spacious and very clean. The space is literally a house with the lower floor converted to a guesthouse, so with this and the warmth of the hosts, it really feels like you're staying in a home away from home. Checkout is easy and on the later side so you have time to take a quick walk over to the lighthouse in the morning (takes just 15 or so minutes)!

Guesthouse Sunna, hotel in Akranes

Located in Reykjavik’s old city center, this family-run property is across the street from Hallgrim’s Church. It offers a communal kitchen, as well as modern and fresh rooms with wooden furnishings.

The location, for us, couldn't have been better. You could see Hallgrimskirkja cathedral from our rooms. There are restaurants and even a little grocery store in less than a 5 min walk. The section of the Rainbow Road is less than 10 minutes away. The staff was kind and helpful. Good breakfast options. The entire guesthouse was very clean and well maintained. Having parking on the property was huge. We would definitely stay here again on future visits to Reykjavik.

Audur Guesthouse, hotel in Akranes

Audur Guesthouse offers accommodations in Reykjavík, 1.4 miles from Nauthólsvík Geothermal Beach and 29 miles from Blue Lagoon.

I was most nervous to have a shared bathroom but it was super clean! The rooms come with sinks to help ease the burden of the shared bathroom as well. My room was facing a main road so there was a bit of noise from passing traffic but I didn't mind it. Very cosy lighting and kept comfortably warm even in December. The location is really excellent, 10-15 minute walk to the main bus terminal, the Hallgrimskirkja church (bus stop #8), and bus stop #12 for tour pickups.

    The hosts were wonderful and so helpful and friendly. They encouraged me to do some of the activities in town (like the Oceanside hot baths). It was an experience I might have skipped and it was just wonderful. The house is quiet and super clean and comfy. But the friendliness and helpfulness of the hosts really made it a special stay. Thank you

    Fully equipped home away from home. Heaps of room. Warm and welcoming. Info on local attractions. Friendly hosts. We were only at the start of our trip so didn't need to use the excellently appointed laundry washers and dryers. Appliances generally all very modern. The location was very quiet, no traffic or neighbour noise.

    Small guesthouse - only 2 rooms, so even though the bathroom is shared, it's clean and cozy. The owners are wonderful, very nice, polite, introduced everything well, even prepared bed and toys for the baby. There was a cozy kitchen with a basket of food for breakfast to be shared with the other room. Very quiet. The area is lovely too to walk around to the lighthouse.

    Hosts has been extremely friendly and helpful. The place is spotless, and the kitchen was very well equipped. We could also use the washing machine and drier. The guesthouse has two rooms, a double and a tween bed and a very cosy living room. We enjoyed every minute and were very sad not staying longer. It was one of the best guesthouses we saw in Iceland.

    This was a great location for a short weekend- not a bad drive from Keflavik, close to Reykjavik with much more peacefulness, access the Snaefellnes Peninsula is ideal from here. Groceries and petrol in town. The property has plenty of parking for guests, the hosts were very accommodating and let us check in a bit early. Wonderful little kitchen set up and comfortable space for two for a weekend. We appreciated the blackout shades for the midnight sun.
