    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.

    We stayed here on our first night in Iceland and it was perfect. The couple who run the place could not be nicer, what a nice welcome. The shared living area and kitchen feel just like home, and the fridge was even stocked with a few things for breakfast. Before taking off in the morning we took a nice walk to the lighthouse and climbed it, what a treat.

    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.

    Near in everything of this wonderful city! The room was excellent. The hotel had everything you need for starting your day. You can eat breakfast, cooking, reading. The space was very clean and organized. We stayed very happy with reasonable money to spend. Easy to find parking and to find this hostel. Quiet at night!

    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.

    I loved the location, front-sea with wide green fields behind. Less than 10 mins by car from Akranes, not that far from Reykjavik. The guesthouse is elegant and clean, I appreciated the abundant disposable of towels for the guests. The kitchen's fully equipped. Mornings on the terrace are awesome!

    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

    Such a nice, cozy, homey place to finish our first ring road trip to Iceland. Our family had the whole floor to us with kitchen, dining and living rooms. The host waited to greet us at arrival and told us places of interest nearby. Wish we could stay longer to enjoy it. Next time.

    "The heartwarming Home" I can't find a better adjective to describe it. It's full of heartwarming/cleanliness and completeness. Unlike traditional hotels/B&Bs. The owner is friendly and cordial, and explanations/tours are complete. Parking spot just in front of the house.

    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 :)
