Lovely choice of common sitting areas. Great buffet breakfast - loads of variety and choice. Great location just a short stroll to city centre and shops. Next to the old working marina. Plenty of places to eat nearby but be aware if Icelandic prices - great quality food but not cheap - not the hotel’s fault in any way.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The room had all the equipment we needed for self catering a week's stay. Very easy access by road yet with little traffic noise.

I recently stayed at Edition Hotel and it was an excellent experience. The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the city. The breakfast is top-notch, offering a wide variety of delicious options that provide great value for money. My stay was very comfortable, and the room was clean and well-maintained. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with a smile. I highly recommend EDITION for anyone looking for a pleasant and convenient stay.

The Guðlaug hot tub on the beach is a 'must-visit'.
The Guðlaug hot tub on the beach is a 'must-visit'. If the outdoor location is a bit wild for you, it is also situated right next to the sports centre which has a heated pool.
Also; whilst I drove through the tunnel to get to Akranes, I recommend using the scenic route to get back. It does add a bit of time to your journey, but the landscape and scenery is fantastic.

Very nice small town, in 40 min from Reykjavik and near to many attractions in Snaefellsnes Peninsula in Iceland, so it's perfect location to visit many interesting places around.
The place to be in Akranes, for sure is a Lighthouse, since 1944, unique in Iceland which is possible to visit inside, climbing to the top. From the top you can see a beautiful panorama of 360° , this wonderful and romantic place offer some exhibitions and local music concerts.
Climbe the Lighthouse!
After climbing Lighthouse, may be you will be a little bit hungry, so have a nice lucnh or a dinner in Gamla Kaupfélagið can be very good idea. Very nice ambience, good local foog and local beer.
Enjoy Akranes in every season!

Akranes is some distance from Reykjavik, maybe an hours drive through a 6 km underground tunnel or 2 hours around the coast road. Don’t be put off though - the coast road leads through stunning views, there’s no delays or queues, its well maintained and passable in extreme weather- it’s a fantastic journey in itself. I wouldn’t say that public transport is particularly good though. There are no trains and buses are infrequent
Akranes itself is a quiet residential area with an interesting fishing history. There are a few grocery stores, at least one open till late and the local pool is decent, maybe not to the standard of some of the other local spas and pools nearer the capital, but certainly better than Council facilities where I live.

Quaint little seaside town with some interesting history.
Quaint little seaside town with some interesting history. There are limited dining opportunities but
Gamla Kaupfélagið is quite good with fresh local caught seafood dishes that will surely please. Drive the tunnel under the bay but don't miss the drive around bay on Hwy 47.

Lovely town and great base to explore the beautiful Western Region of Iceland. Also easy access to Reykjavík. Good cinema (Biohollin), lovely new restaurant (Gamla Kaupfélagiðand) and a documentary film festival (IceDocs) in mid-July. A trip to the hot pool by the football stadium and the lighthouse are highly recommended.
Really nice structure, for us it was a perfect one night stay on our way back to Reykjavik!
Kitchen and dining area were big clean and provided with all the tools you need (only colander was missing but we noticed that it is a common fact in Iceland's structures ahah).
Rooms were big and clean, the same for the bathrooms.
Quality/price ratio was super, couldn't ask for more.
Our stay was wonderful! The house was so clean and had everything we needed for our first night in Iceland. We climbed the lighthouse and explored town. There's a cool underwater tunnel that connects to the town from the south (turn your car vent to recirculation of air) 😉. The owners provided great information about the area and places we planned on going. Thanks!
Very comfortable, nice bed, great couch for lounging, kitchen had good set of basic supplies. Bought food from the grocery store in town. Very sweet and friendly dog. Easy check-in instructions provided. Absolutely beautiful view in all directions. Saw a double rainbow right before midnight—amazing! Great launching point for driving around west Iceland.
Everything about this Cabin and location was just perfect. I have been to Iceland many times and it can be hard to find a property like this. If you want to get away from it all to relax and explore Iceland's West and South West then this is the perfect location.
The hosts were amazing to deal with as well. I would definitely book this property again.
Coffee and tea all day in the kitchen. Big kitchen, too, and a large sitting room. Self checkin was super easy, and the location was great. Excellent value for Iceland, one of the best I found in the entire country. I would definitely recommend a stay here if you need a place to crash within a few hours of Reykjavik.
Very pleasant place！You did not only enjoy the short stay, but a different cultured home! The place can satisfy all your needs after ur day trip. It is the place for next time visiting!
Extremely clean! Extremely comfortable! Extremely nice stuff! Extremely good location! The best stay for us in Iceland!
We had a wonderful, relaxing stay. The house is cozy, very clean and nicely furnished. Everything you need for a vacation in the cottage and much more, was available. Even coffee!
Yes, the driveway is a bit challenging but so are the roads in Iceland!
We are very happy to come back
It is shared one, but we had the property to ourselves as there were no other guests. Nice owners who gave us short introduction to Akranes and what to do there. Very clean and also a good equipped kitchen were you can cook. All you need for one night.
Our favorite stay in iceland! The house is cute, cozy and very well-furnished. The kitchen is well-equipped.
Everything was true to the pictures. Overall, We had a wonderful night here and would definitely come back if we visited Iceland again!
A lovely place to stay on our last night in Iceland. Nice layout of the living spaces with interesting books about the local area. A great evening spent with my family. I would have loved to have spent more time there.
The cottage was our first night in Iceland and was so cute and really had everything needed in the small, well equipped kitchen one could want. The shower was wonderful and bed comfy.
There is a nice parking lot across the hotel. There are two kitchens en a few toilets. Near a gas station. It is only a short walk from a supermarket and a cute ice cream store.
This was the best property we stayed in Iceland. The hosts couldn’t of been nicer. They have free laundry, bicycles and a huge accommodation. If you’re in the area stay here!
basic guesthouse stay - no breakfast, but as I was leaving early for the aiport that didn't matter. Very confortable room in a nice location outside Akranes
