Super convenient location with stunning views, this little gem of a place is not to be missed. The beds were comfortable and made up with crisp linens. The kitchen was well appointed and even had coffee. But the very best part was the giant wall of windows that overlooked the expansive surrounds! Please go and stay at Asta and Filips place, you won't be disappointed!

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.

Loved the location and breakfast. They had a lot of pamphlets which was nice. I highly recommend this place.
Newly renovated during the spring of 2023, Hotel Local 101 is an independent hotel quietly tucked away in the heart of downtown Reykjavik, on a charming street made up of classical Icelandic homes.

Everything about this place is perfection. Clean and cozy. Stylish and comfortable. So much to intention in all of the choices from decor to local art and Iceland music. Breakfast and dinner/snacks were delicious and the staff were warm, welcoming and helpful. The location is ideal. I would like to have stayed so much longer, both because we loved Iceland, but also because of Hotel Local 101.

Beautiful close to everything with a excellent restaurant and spa
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.
The location is amazing and the surroundings are breathtaking. We loooved our beautiful cottage and it made our last night in Iceland very special. The bed was so comfy and the bathroom was clean. It was very warm inside with the heating. The tiny kitchen was just what we needed to prepare some quick meals. We would love to spend at least two nights in the area next time and explore Akranes.
Hosts has been extremely friendly and helpful. The place is spotless, and the kitchen was very well equipped. We could also use the washing machine and drier. The guesthouse has two rooms, a double and a tween bed and a very cosy living room. We enjoyed every minute and were very sad not staying longer. It was one of the best guesthouses we saw in Iceland.
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
The instruction was very kind with all information I needed including getting into my room in detail.
Me and my wife enjoyed the coffee the guesthouse provided. Might not be same for others, but it was best morning coffee we had in Iceland for me and my wife :)
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.
such a cute house, and very very friendly owners. No complaints about anything. Everything about the home was very accommodating, and easy. Very clean and laid out well, one of the best stays we have had in Iceland!

the location is very good is see aurola，and that night we stay we saw aurola luckly.
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.
Regarding the unnecessary stress, I was not able to enjoy my stay. When choosing this accommodation I thought the location was nice for exploring the northwest of Iceland.
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
