Lovely, small hotel. Rooms modern, stylish, very warm and wonderfully clean. Staff were incredibly helpful and attentive - nothing was too big or small for their kind attention, efficient. Continental breakfast plentiful and fresh, tea and coffee available in small but stylish lounge 24/7.
I want to go back in the summer and will book this hotel again and have no hesitation in recommending it to all my friends.

A lot of reviews mentioned the hotel having a poor location. For us (appreciating that we are able to walk and others may not be able to), the location wasn't a problem at all. It took us 30 minutes to walk to the sun voyager/ to the centre of town and was no issue. We did go in late Feb and there was a little bit of snow/ice on the paths - I can see how it might be more difficult in December/ Jan. However, if it is icy, there is a bus stop right by the hotel will will get you into to town in...

Accommodation was first class, even down to the robes and good glassware. Had a minor problem with toilet, I emailed them and within hours they had it repaired and serviced the room. Top class service.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel during our visit to Iceland. We stayed in their cottage, and everything about the experience was perfect from start to finish. The cottage was cozy, comfortable, and a wonderful place to relax after a day of exploring.
The owners were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help with anything we needed, which made our stay even more special. The location is also ideal - peaceful and perfectly situated for spotting the incredible Northern Lights....

Comfortable and clean hotel in a good location, within easy walking distance of the harbour and town, and a few minutes away from the bus stop for excursion pick ups. Breakfast was plentiful with a wide variety of options, and the staff were friendly and very helpful.

Hotel Laxnes is located in Haholt which is about a 15 minute drive from Reyakvic. The views from the bedroom was stunning and there are plenty of facilities close by e.g. supermarket, pub and bakery. There is a bus stop just outside of the hotel and the number 15 and 6 go into Reyakvic, so it's easy to get into Reyakvic. The hotel was very clean and was cleaned everyday during our stay.

This hotel was great value for money - out of the busy city centre but easily connected by bus (about 10-15 mins). Most of the main tours did hotel pickups from here so if you are planning on using day trips, its very practical. Breakfast was excellent.

Staff in the hotel were all pleasant and helpful, and rooms were nice and comfortable. I opted not to eat in the restaurant as I thought I'd be pushed for time to have breakfast before some of the organised tours starting at 8am, and generally decided to eat elsewhere in Reykjavik for dinner.
Location wise, it's a quiet road just at the eastern edge of downtown, so just a few minutes walk away from various shops and restaurants. Also about 5 minutes walk from bus stop #12 which seems to be one...

Positives? Too many to mention. Negatives? Only one... the funny water smell, however this is something all residences suffer from in Iceland (due to the geothermal water supply)
The staff were especially helpful, having a garage was very helpful and despite the central location very easy to drive to. Wife and daughter loved it too.
Would stay here again 10/10

Fantastic hotel in a superb location. Service is excellent and the bagel shop and Le Kock are fab. Got to try the garlic and parmesan potatoes in Le Kock and the smoked salmon bagels are out of this world!
Location is fantastic for both the town and for the whale watching/Northern Lights.
Bedrooms comfortable and bathroom was great. Not sure about the decor - our room looked like it hadn't been finished but it was a design choice apparently. Not my taste but some might like it.

The best area to stay in Brautarholt is typically around the main road, Brautarholt, and its immediate surroundings.
This area is primarily rural, characterised by open fields and distant views of mountains. Accommodation options here often consist of guesthouses and farm stays. It's a quiet setting, superb for those looking to experience the Icelandic countryside and enjoy the natural landscape.
Couples seeking a tranquil retreat will find this area particularly appealing. The guesthouses often offer a cosy, private experience, and the lack of light pollution makes it an excellent spot for stargazing or potentially seeing the Northern Lights during the right season. It's also a good base for exploring nearby natural attractions without the bustle of larger towns.
For travellers who appreciate good value and a connection to nature, staying in one of the guesthouses along Brautarholt offers a comfortable and authentic Icelandic experience.
When is the best time to go to Brautarholt?
The best time to go to Brautarholt is during the summer months, from June to August, for the mildest weather and longest daylight hours.
During this period, you'll experience the famous Midnight Sun, where daylight extends well into the late evening, sometimes lasting almost 24 hours. This allows for extended exploration of the natural landscapes without the rush. Temperatures are typically around 10-15°C, which is comfortable for outdoor activities.
Couples looking for an active holiday will find this period ideal for hiking, horseback riding, and exploring the Golden Circle's attractions, many of which are easily accessible from Brautarholt. The longer days mean more time to visit waterfalls, geysers, and national parks.
For those interested in seeing the Northern Lights, the shoulder seasons of late August to September and March to April can also be good. While the weather becomes cooler and daylight hours shorten, the darker nights increase your chances of spotting the aurora borealis, particularly away from city lights.
