Very friendly staff. Optional (not included) breakfast on site. Great view from the hotel. Quaint hotel. Upper floor has slanted ceilings - my tall husband banged his head a time or two, but I was fine. Small, cozy rooms. Fine for a night. Not sure I’d want to stay here long-term.
This hotel offers relaxing outdoor hot tubs, an 18-hole golf course and activities such as whale watching and snowmobile safaris. Reykjavik and Snæfellsnes National Park are a 1-hour drive away.
This property is 4.3 mi from central Borgarnes and 30 minutes’ drive from Akranes. It provides accommodations with kitchen facilities and free WiFi in public areas.

Perfect house and rooms. Amazing glass room with cute candles.
I love the kitchen most! It provides all I need, such as a bottle of oil, spices, and special hand-made sauce. It's really nice with spaghetti.

The local pool was lovely - we went in the evening, so it was dark (I really like this).
There was a local cafe/bar that served some great value meals - the lamb chops were sublime.
There is a lovely friendly vibe in Borganes, and I would highly recommend putting it on your trip.

It is a bit run down but it is quiet and the beds are comfortable. Like most of Iceland in our experience, the pillows could be better. Hot pot, coffee, tea, cream and sugar are provided, which was nice. There is free parking, however I can imagine at times it may be hard to find a spot as the lot supports the restaurant as well. We had dinner at the restaurant, food was good and the portion was large.
In a nutshell, this is a decent budget accommodation, with a restaurant on site which makes it convenient. If you plan to eat at the restaurant, make a reservation before 5pm. They were able to squeezed us in without one but there were many who were not as lucky.

Borgarnes is underrated as it doesn't have any bucket-list...
Borgarnes is underrated as it doesn't have any bucket-list sights. It's a mid-size small town by Iceland standards, but it's got a lot to recommend it - it's a very typical Icelandic place, and one with a variety of landscapes and bay views.
The Settlement Museum is overpriced (as most Icelandic museums are), but even without a visit there, Borgarnes is a good place for walking. It also has some decent to excellent eateries (the Bara bar and restaurant in the heart of the town is outstanding, and even the N1 station cooks up some of Iceland's best meat soup.)

Beautiful views. Lots to do and see.
Beautiful views. Lots to do and see. An area with a lot of history. A good for both people who like to do independent activities and people who prefer guided tours. It is the place of viking settlements and the sagas. There is a Settlement museum to learn about it. Waterfalls and a la a tube cave you can take a tour of.

We had a few hours here on the way to the Basalt Hotel. Car parking was free. There was a pathed route to walk around the coast. We had coffee and lunch at a wonderful place called Blómasetríð - Kaffi Kyrrð. We sat outside in a beautiful courtyard/garden. The food was excellent and the staff were polite and kind.

Drove by car from Keflavik at 10 AM - visited Akranes lighthouse and nice museum - had great vegetarian buffet lunch in Borgarness - at a vikkingmuseum.
Drove to our hotel and then to the KRAUMA spa and we had dinner there.
Next day we drove to the waterfalls Barnafoss, then to visit the lavagrotto and took over the highland on the road 550 back towards Reykjavik. Great tour!
The property was off the beaten path with a charming room. The host welcomed us with champagne, shrimp and cavier. The bed was very comfortable and the facilities were modern and updated. There is also a hot tub to enjoy and breakfast in the morning with a wonderful view. The breakfast was better than any restaurant we’ve been to here. By FAR one of the nicest ladies we’ve met in Iceland; she was welcoming, informative and gracious. This place does not disappoint.
We can't love this hotel anymore than our initial expectations! The food is absolutely amazing, world-class food! The views of the fjords are breathtaking! The spa tubs and sauna are a really nice extra luxury that comes with your room fee. The location is great for exploring West Iceland. The best part was see saw the Northern Lights, not one night but both nights of our stay. It was pure magic, and we would definitely stay there again!
Beautiful Hotel / Hostel! The staff is so awesome and friendly and welcoming; I cannot express that enough! Especially as a solo traveler a lot of times you're not sure what to expect next. Breakfast was soooo good; I loved it! It wasn't really what I was expecting, definitely more of a luxury hotel type experience, but hey - it was awesome! AND it's one of THE cheapest hostels in Iceland. (I know bc I checked the entire island lol.)
Very good value - we had a 22h layover in Iceland, and we were able to rent a car and whole trailer cottage for cheaper than staying at a hotel closer to airport. It was an easy drive with nice views. Great place to sleep before next days flight - we also drove a little more to look at views in the evening. Cozy and functional, with a view to mountain tops.
The hotel is very nicely located. The rooms face either the hill or the ocean. There is free parking available.
The room was spacious, clean and warm. The bed and pillows were comfortable.
There is sauna available. Supermarket and restaurants are a few min drive away from the hotel.
Good value for the money!
we arrived about an hour before check in and there was only cleaning staff there, but they called the owner and he made a special trip in to let us in our room early.
even though the hotel is right off hiway 1 it was not very noisy from road noise
It’s a golf course hotel with fantastic views and lovely hot tubs and sauna. Restaurant has views, too. The rooms are very plain and small, but our patio had a phenomenal view of mountains! Beds were just ok, shower was good. Location is good.
Somehow I thought it is going to be cute boutique hotel, but this is just a hostel in an old building.
Couldn’t stay there, so we left. It was my fault I didn’t read description good enough, so I can’t rate them too bad
Everything!
The movie themed room was awesome. It was like a little home versus a small hotel room. Maja (owner) was very sweet and accommodating. We booked last minute after leave a different hotel down the street.
Spacious room and equipped kitchen with small fridge. Near Route 1. Nice bathroom and clean. Good communication with hotel. Arrived late no issues. Parking in front. Good value for money. Scenery area.
The room had a good size and was clean and had good blackout curtains. Bed confortable. Parking options right between the two hotel buildings and in general a very good location in Borgarnes.
Very helpfull staff. The hostelroom is located in a fancy hotel. Very beautiful interior. For that price... Best price-quality I booked in all Iceland. Good beds, nice food at the restaurant.
Hotel was in center of town and had easy access to the museum close by. Hotel had a great view of the fiord just to the south. Breakfast was very good with many different options.
Really friendly host in a beautiful location. Borgarnes is a great base to get out and discover this part of Iceland. The accommodation is a real home from home place to stay.
The view out behind the guest house was beautiful as was the town. The spirit of the town is one of the things we really liked about Iceland. Very childhood supportive.
The staff was very friendly. The hotel had a great view. It is a bit remote, but that adds to the rustic charm! The lamb served for dinner tasted great as well.
