Hotel Laxnes

No frill hotel at luxury price

Location.

Very basic rooms. Breakfast selections are very minimum.

Comfortable family room and very pleasant and helpful staff. Well located for road travel into Reykjavik and also good road access to open countryside and tourist destinations. Close to local fast food outlets, restaurant and shops.

The staff were friendly and the hotel was situated well to permit trips to the capital and the country.

I had requested that the hotel shuttle pick us up at the airport however it did not arrive and so we rented a car at the airport rather than through Procar. The breakfast was adequate but could be better by including a toaster and more fruit. The toilet smelled bad - I suspect the venting is not working properly.

Only stayed there one night, perfectly adequate as a stopover.

Pictures on website make it look rather more picturesque and better sited than it is, i.e. in an idustrial/shopping estate

Well located for the Golden Circle and close to Reykjavik. Rooms were clean and spacious.

Breakfast was a bit basic.

Easy to find just off Road 1, with ample parking, and a bar. Good sized quiet room with view to the hills. Close enough to Reykjavik but a lot cheaper, and no parking problems.

No restaurant and nearly all eateries in Mosfellbaer are only fast food. Did find a small Italian restaurant though, a short stroll away, which was quite good.

New furniture in rooms

Room service was bad (bed was not made, towels were not changed), breakfast service is improvable (dishes were not cleared away ...., unmotivated staff)
