"Loved this place. Very remote in Hella - which makes it perfect for viewing the Northern Lights (if there are no clouds)."

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hotel Laekur is delightful, with guests frequently praising the delicious breakfast, including local specialties like Happy Marriage cake. The newer orangy-yellow cottages, opened in summer 2024, are spacious and offer calming river and field views, where Icelandic horses might inquisitively greet you. Some guests have noted the absence of mini-refrigerators in the cottages, but overall, the hotel provides a warm welcome and a local vibe, representing a taste of "real Iceland" with easy access to the Golden Circle.

nice viewbasic roomoutside noise

the location was good, offering a nice view from the restaurant.

The room i had was disappointing, it was very basic and overpriced. It felt more like a motel room. outside i could hear a lot of noise. people were talking loudly and cars kept coming and going, so i didn't sleep well.
