Hotel is in remote location, but doesn’t take advantage of that by giving nice views of the unique landscape. Most rooms just overlook the parking lot. The 4 hot tubs could be an amazing feature if they looked out at the landscape rather than a wooden fence.

This property is probably transitioned from a school, but that does not impact any of the service that you would expect from a hotel. We booked a family room, very spacious. There’s not much going on in the area and it might be the only location you can get a decent sit down meal. By all saying that, food in the restaurant is high quality. I ordered sheep fillet, 5 stars!

Wonderful hotel

Wonderful hotel in a perfect location. Plenty of parking and kind staff. There is a restaurant as well that serves complimentary breakfast. You have the option to have dinner there as well. Plenty of variety. Rooms are spacious including a tv, small table, shower, etc. Rooms were excellent. Very close drive to Hvammanstangi to see the seals! Thanks so much!

Unexpected Gem

We stayed at Hotel Laugerbakki May 19th while driving the Iceland ring road. Though initially somewhat forbidding and institutional looking due to its large size perched alone in the fields next to a river, it turned out to be a wonderful experience. It is airy and open inside, with multiple conference rooms and overflow dining areas, a gym, and an outside fenced-off deck with 3 large hot tubs. The rooms were of good size with large bathrooms and better ventilation than many places we stayed (during an Iceland heat wave!). The staff was marvelous, each employee in a crisp black uniform, smiling, attentive, and helpful. I can't say enough about the restaurant (Bakki). The staff was so well trained and courteous I asked our waitress how this could be? We were, after all, pretty much a captive audience. Everyone is trained by the chef and they have pre-dinner group meetings to make sure they all have their assignments and know the plan. It shows. The dinner was excellent and the breakfast was a lavish spread, everything one could wish for was laid out. I'd go out of my way to eat here again and my spouse mentioned that she'd wished we had a reason to stay another night.
