Icelandic Lake House, hotel in Akranes

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a patio, Icelandic Lake House is situated in Akranes. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi.

The location is beautiful, and the house has everything you need, cozy, but spacious. The kitchen has everything you need, even extra oil, spices, pasta, coffee, in case you miss something. We have not used the gas grill outside though. And the living room has breath taking views, and on top of that, the hut-tub outside.

Móar Cottage, hotel in Akranes

Boasting garden views, Móar Cottage provides accommodation with patio, around 43 km from Hallgrímskirkja Church. The property has mountain and lake views, and is 43 km from The Pearl.

The cottage is very lovely. All the check-in and out are contactless, which made things very easy. The room is well-equipped with radiators and everything you need. There's a very lovely and friendly dog as well as a chicken coop nearby, giving us a farm-stay feel experience. My favourite stay on this whole road trip.

Móar guesthouse, hotel in Akranes

Situated in Akranes and only 43 km from The Pearl, Móar guesthouse features accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. With mountain views, this accommodation offers a balcony.

I enjoyed this place twice, once on my own and again with my boyfriend; I specially appreciated the countryside (such a good spot for Northern Lights, beautiful both in winter and summer) and the services provided by the structure. The house was always clean and comfortable.

    The Guðlaug hot tub on the beach is a 'must-visit'.

    The Guðlaug hot tub on the beach is a 'must-visit'. If the outdoor location is a bit wild for you, it is also situated right next to the sports centre which has a heated pool. Also; whilst I drove through the tunnel to get to Akranes, I recommend using the scenic route to get back. It does add a bit of time to your journey, but the landscape and scenery is fantastic.

    Very nice small town, in 40 min from Reykjavik and near to many attractions in Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland, so it's perfect location to visit many interesting places around. The place to be in Akranes, for sure is a Lighthouse, since 1944, unique in Iceland which is possible to visit inside, climbing to the top. From the top you can see a beautiful panorama of 360° , this wonderful and romantic place offer some exhibitions and local music concerts. Climbe the Lighthouse! After climbing Lighthouse, may be you will be a little bit hungry, so have a nice lucnh or a dinner in Gamla Kaupfélagið can be very good idea. Very nice ambience, good local foog and local beer. Enjoy Akranes in every season!

    Akranes is some distance from Reykjavik, maybe an hours drive through a 6 km underground tunnel or 2 hours around the coast road. Don’t be put off though - the coast road leads through stunning views, there’s no delays or queues, its well maintained and passable in extreme weather- it’s a fantastic journey in itself. I wouldn’t say that public transport is particularly good though. There are no trains and buses are infrequent Akranes itself is a quiet residential area with an interesting fishing history. There are a few grocery stores, at least one open till late and the local pool is decent, maybe not to the standard of some of the other local spas and pools nearer the capital, but certainly better than Council facilities where I live.

    Quaint little seaside town with some interesting history.

    Quaint little seaside town with some interesting history. There are limited dining opportunities but Gamla Kaupfélagið is quite good with fresh local caught seafood dishes that will surely please. Drive the tunnel under the bay but don't miss the drive around bay on Hwy 47.

    Lovely town and great base to explore the beautiful Western Region of Iceland. Also easy access to Reykjavík. Good cinema (Biohollin), lovely new restaurant (Gamla Kaupfélagiðand) and a documentary film festival (IceDocs) in mid-July. A trip to the hot pool by the football stadium and the lighthouse are highly recommended.

    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.

    Our stay was wonderful! The house was so clean and had everything we needed for our first night in Iceland. We climbed the lighthouse and explored town. There's a cool underwater tunnel that connects to the town from the south (turn your car vent to recirculation of air) 😉. The owners provided great information about the area and places we planned on going. Thanks!

    Very comfortable, nice bed, great couch for lounging, kitchen had good set of basic supplies. Bought food from the grocery store in town. Very sweet and friendly dog. Easy check-in instructions provided. Absolutely beautiful view in all directions. Saw a double rainbow right before midnight—amazing! Great launching point for driving around west Iceland.

    Everything about this Cabin and location was just perfect. I have been to Iceland many times and it can be hard to find a property like this. If you want to get away from it all to relax and explore Iceland's West and South West then this is the perfect location. The hosts were amazing to deal with as well. I would definitely book this property again.

    Coffee and tea all day in the kitchen. Big kitchen, too, and a large sitting room. Self checkin was super easy, and the location was great. Excellent value for Iceland, one of the best I found in the entire country. I would definitely recommend a stay here if you need a place to crash within a few hours of Reykjavik.

    The property was more than we expected - we wished we could have spent more time there! The hosts are very kind and a accommodating and let us borrow their bikes to explore Akranes. Because of Covid we had the entire property to ourselves. This would be great for a family looking for a vase near Reykjavik.

    it central to Akranes and compared to most other accommodation, it had breakfast included but the one thing that added to the value of the property was the hospitality we received from the host. this was absolutely phenomenal and we highly recommend this to anyone visiting Iceland / Akranes

    The instruction was very kind with all information I needed including getting into my room in detail. Me and my wife enjoyed the coffee the guesthouse provided. Might not be same for others, but it was best morning coffee we had in Iceland for me and my wife :)

    Well equipped guesthouse with a small briefcase full of woolen mittens and hats from a local producer that you can purchase. It's located below the mountains where you can hike or visit the Akranesviti lighthouse. Easy self check-in with clear instructions.
