Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
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.
