Hotel Laugarbakki

The room is spacious and clean. The only issue is that the curtains are light and can’t block the midnight light.

Very modern bathrooms, big rooms and an amazing restaurant- had dinner.

Staff are friendly, area is clean, worked fine for our one-night stay. The 4-person room was very strangely shaped, sort-of L shaped with the long part of the L being rather narrow and cramped. One of the beds is in that area and is right next to the curtains. Curtains were not as good as other areas we stayed, we went in June so the midnight sun was in full force and the whole room was awash in blue, which didn't happen with the good blackout curtains in other locations. Beds were still comfortable and as said earlier, works fine for a one-night stay. However, we booked at the same time as ~4 groups or so we were told at check-in, and during breakfast they were clearly understaffed. Regardless breakfast is included and the breakfast area becomes an a-la-carte restaurant in the evenings. Laundry service is available for $40, which is steep but was the only laundry we could get on our weeklong trip. Takes about an hour or two and the clean clothes are folded and hand-delivered to the room. Overall a decent place to spend the night between Akureyri and Reykjavik, which is what we did.

INTERESTING! This hotel is renovated from an old school. Clean, tidy room, staffs are friendly and helpful. The bar is a must. It is one of a kind. Beautiful landscape. Only a small rooms for improvement would be a curtain. It does not shut out the sun completely, so make sure to pack your eye-mask if you come in summer and need darkness to sleep.
