Vaktahouse, hotel in Akranes

Featuring a free car rental during your stay, this self-catering holiday home is located in central Reykjavik and just a few minutes' walk from Reykjavik City Hall and Tjörnin Lake.

If you’re thinking of visiting Reykjavík and looking for a place to stay, look no further: Vakta was amazing and the host, Margrét, was even better! We took our family of 4 on a quick 4.5 day trip to Iceland, because our boys wanted to see the northern lights. Originally, I tried booking a hotel for my wife and I, and our 2 boys(7 and 5). Every hotel we looked at was too small and could accommodate the 4 of us in one room so we decided on an air bnb. That’s when I came across Vakta and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. First of all, the house is so cozy, and wonderfully decorated with unique 1 of a kind items that made the historic house feel even more special. Margrét made sure we had everything we needed. We were walking distance to everything(food, shopping, museums, drinks, sightseeing, bus stops) and Margrét had a car for us to use to explore and hunt for the lights. Our boys loved the sleeping arrangements in the lofts and couldn’t wait to lay down every night. Margrét was easy to get in touch with and also helped us with any questions we had. If we ever visit Reykjavik again we will be sure to try and stay here again.

The Oceanfront Private northern lights villa., hotel in Akranes

26 miles from The Pearl in Reynivellir, The Oceanfront Private northern lights villa. Features accommodations with access to a sauna and hot tub.

We stayed here our last night of an 11 day trip and it was excellent. Incredible location. Beautiful, big house that was great for cooking for a large group. There were 4 beds in the main house (2 in the same room upstairs, 1 just at the top of the stairs not in a room, 1 in a room downstairs) and 1 bed in the guest house. Hot tub and sauna were delightful, we spent a couple hours watching the Northern Lights from the hot tub which is something we will never forget. Hosts were very responsive to questions and came out to look at the hot tub when it wasn’t getting hot. Beds were comfy.

Cosy lakeview cabin 45 minutes from Reykjavik, hotel in Akranes

Offering a garden, Cosy lakeview cabin 45 minutes from Reykjavik offers accommodations in Mosfellsbær. Both free Wifi and parking on-site are available at the vacation home free of charge.

It was one of the most relaxing and beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. It was also really well stocked and thought out, so we didn’t have to think of buying absolutely everything we needed.

    Very clean, spacious and lovely furnished lower part of a house where the hosts live upstairs. Coffee, tea and condensed milk were as much available as recommendations for exciting tourist destinations, shampoo, different cleaners and towels which even were washed & renewed during our stay. Enough spark for parking more than one car. The hosts were really hospitable and easy to get in touch with. If possible we will come to Akranes and book this accommodation again one day. Thanks for everything.
