spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you need, the living room was very cozy and the hosts are really friendly people. It`s only walking distance to the lighthouse or even the beach. I had a great time.

The location was AMAZING, it really was! The cabin was warm and cozy, very comfortable, with a nice functioning, and well-equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. The interior design of the cabin was very welcoming. GREAT location to see the northern lights!

We only stayed one night, but we really liked how equipped our room was. The place is also quite away from other towns, so perfect to spot the aurora if you have clear sky. They also have hot tub and sauna but we didn't use it. You also have possibility to have dinner or breakfast since the kitchen in our room was well equipped we didn't eat in the restaurant.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Reykjavik Marina Berjaya Hotel! The location is perfect—right in the marina and close to the heart of the city, making it incredibly convenient to explore Reykjavik’s top attractions. The hotel itself is modern, comfortable, and offers fantastic value for money. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is their exceptional service. I had to checkout really early in the morning to catch a flight to Greenland and accidentally left my tablet in my room. To my positive surprise, the staff went above and beyond to assist me. They promptly located it and arranged to send it back to me, which was a huge relief! This wouldn’t have happened in many other places and I hope the staff knows that, when doing that, they’re actually giving guests a very premium service. Reykjavik Marina Berlanja Hotel combines comfort, convenience, and outstanding hospitality. I can’t recommend it enough—definitely 5 stars!

Akranes is a pleasant community within east driving distance...

Akranes is a pleasant community within east driving distance to Reykjavik. Accommodations there are less expensive compared to the surrounding are but also are not as updated. There was one good sit-down restaurant in the town. The public swimming pool was nice and there a public geothermal baths on the beach there. When the fish factory opens, whole portions of the town stink of fish. If you are looking for more affordable accommodation for a one night stop, this town is a good option, but there is not much to see and do in the town itself.

Akranes is one of our favorite day trips from Reykjavík.

Akranes is one of our favorite day trips from Reykjavík. We usually take the bus out and back, although I could see it being a great longer stop for non-locals too. It is much quieter with far less tourist traffic than other towns around Iceland. The lighthouse is a delight. It is open to the public most days and has amazing acoustics. The lighthouse keeper invites folks to sing or play instruments and will happily accommodate musicians who want to record there! There are also wonderful beaches and a public pool by the ocean. The museum is also lovely. We walk the town for the trip, but I could see a car being useful as well.

The description should be more accurate; I thought I was renting a chalet with a separate bedroom as shown in the photos, but I only rented a studio apartment, which was a bit small for three adults. So, we were disappointed.

The town of Akranes was nice, there are 2 larger supermarkets in the town, so it was ideal for us, who lived in the solitude of the Móar Cottage accommodation, we saw the northern lights 2 nights in a row, it was an incredible experience and I highly recommend this accommodation. Otherwise, in the town of Akranes, the lighthouse didn't appeal to me much, it simply didn't enchant me at all.

It's a town about 50 km from Reykjavik, ideal if you don't want to pay the exorbitant prices of the capital. The town is practically deserted, but it has a supermarket where you can buy what you need.

This is a small town with absolutely nothing to do and absolutely no atmosphere. There's one bar in a hotel, and that's it. Even the so-called Irish pub is gone. The town is known for its cement factory, which is also very centrally located. This is definitely not a place to stay in beautiful Iceland.

It basically feels like living in a local Icelandic house rather than "guesthouse". Super lovely couple running the place makes the stay extra pleasant! Sulfur smelling hot water is probably not a desired thing for locals, but made us feel like in a thermal facility :) Laundry room was very convenient.

A peaceful cabin in the middle of a "wood", the host decorated with detail and so passionate that I can feel it. You have everything that you need. Certainly if I comeback to Iceland I will book this cabin. Only one caveat, make sure when you come still have daylight to find the cabin.
