Basalt Hotel, hotel in Borgarnes

Located in Borgarnes, 43 km from Thingvellir National Park, Basalt Hotel provides accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking and a bar.

It's a hotel in the middle of nowhere, there is gravel road to it. The view from the hot tub is lovely and we really enjoyed our time there. The person at the reception was very helpful and they provided us with bath robes for the hot tub. Maybe these could be already in the room to make it a bit easier, we had to ask. There was a hairdryer in the bathroom and a small bottle of shampoo/body wash. The floor was heated. The room was quite spacious, TV with a few channels and also Amazon Prime, which was a nice touch and we spent out evening watching a film.

I thought I was booking at a place that served breakfast. There was not breakfast. Nothing. I had to get in the rented car and drive to a neighbouring town to eat.

Hotel Hamar, hotel in Borgarnes

This hotel offers relaxing outdoor hot tubs, an 18-hole golf course and activities such as whale watching and snowmobile safaris. Reykjavik and Snæfellsnes National Park are a 1-hour drive away.

The bed was comfortable and the room seemed clean. There was a young lad at reception at 1am who was lovely and managed to resolve a noise issue that we were previously told wasn't fixable.

A recently renovated homestay set in Borgarnes, Apartment Fernsicht features a garden. The property features sea and mountain views.

Quite a treat. Clean, comfy, quiet, superb location with a stunning view of the snowcapped mountains across the fjord. Kitchen is small but well equipped with everything in perfect condition and again, what a view. Lina, the owner, is a sweetheart, gave me what I needed to wrap,a parcel for mailing and let me leave my bag and my food in the fridge after checkout as I had a later bus.

    The local pool was lovely - we went in the evening, so it was dark (I really like this). There was a local cafe/bar that served some great value meals - the lamb chops were sublime. There is a lovely friendly vibe in Borganes, and I would highly recommend putting it on your trip.

    It is a bit run down but it is quiet and the beds are comfortable. Like most of Iceland in our experience, the pillows could be better. Hot pot, coffee, tea, cream and sugar are provided, which was nice. There is free parking, however I can imagine at times it may be hard to find a spot as the lot supports the restaurant as well. We had dinner at the restaurant, food was good and the portion was large. In a nutshell, this is a decent budget accommodation, with a restaurant on site which makes it convenient. If you plan to eat at the restaurant, make a reservation before 5pm. They were able to squeezed us in without one but there were many who were not as lucky.

    Borgarnes is underrated as it doesn't have any bucket-list...

    Borgarnes is underrated as it doesn't have any bucket-list sights. It's a mid-size small town by Iceland standards, but it's got a lot to recommend it - it's a very typical Icelandic place, and one with a variety of landscapes and bay views. The Settlement Museum is overpriced (as most Icelandic museums are), but even without a visit there, Borgarnes is a good place for walking. It also has some decent to excellent eateries (the Bara bar and restaurant in the heart of the town is outstanding, and even the N1 station cooks up some of Iceland's best meat soup.)

    Beautiful views. Lots to do and see.

    Beautiful views. Lots to do and see. An area with a lot of history. A good for both people who like to do independent activities and people who prefer guided tours. It is the place of viking settlements and the sagas. There is a Settlement museum to learn about it. Waterfalls and a la a tube cave you can take a tour of.

    We had a few hours here on the way to the Basalt Hotel. Car parking was free. There was a pathed route to walk around the coast. We had coffee and lunch at a wonderful place called Blómasetríð - Kaffi Kyrrð. We sat outside in a beautiful courtyard/garden. The food was excellent and the staff were polite and kind.

    Drove by car from Keflavik at 10 AM - visited Akranes lighthouse and nice museum - had great vegetarian buffet lunch in Borgarness - at a vikkingmuseum. Drove to our hotel and then to the KRAUMA spa and we had dinner there. Next day we drove to the waterfalls Barnafoss, then to visit the lavagrotto and took over the highland on the road 550 back towards Reykjavik. Great tour!

    Hotel had wonderful location next to the city Borgarnes, between ocean and mountains, very close to the main road. Place was small but had lovely atmospere. Outside there was jaccuzi available for everyone. In the eating space there was complementray tea and coffee to take through whole day. The room was very nicely decorated and pleasant to stay with big comfortable double bed. Breakfast was rather modest but absolutely enough to start the day. WiFi worked well.

    Fjola and Jon were outstanding hosts. Our apartment on their farm was a haven for our stay near Borgarnes. Views of the surrounding fields were great, and such a nice change from city hotels. The apartment had everything we needed, including a filter coffee maker. The weather turned overnight, and roads were closed the next morning. Fjola kindly informed us of this and offered that we could stay longer, which was very generous.

    The property, while remote, is nearly brand new absolutely stunning. The hotel owner has thought of everything. It is beautiful positioned up on a hill with spectacular views of sunsets. WE were provided with beautiful rooms, hot tub robes, and a lovely breakfast buffet. Staff were very friendly and helpful in terms of choosing the best routes to drive nearby.

    Very good value - we had a 22h layover in Iceland, and we were able to rent a car and whole trailer cottage for cheaper than staying at a hotel closer to airport. It was an easy drive with nice views. Great place to sleep before next days flight - we also drove a little more to look at views in the evening. Cozy and functional, with a view to mountain tops.

    This was a cute motel off the main road near Borgarnes. Nothing fancy, but the room we had (triple) was spacious and had a deck/balcony. You could walk from the hotel down to the nearby beach which we enjoyed. The breakfast was simple/traditional but we enjoyed it very much. We loved that we could walk down to the beach from the hotel!

    Our stay in Borgarnes was excellent. The hotel is modern and clean. The room was very spacious and the beds were so comfy! The breakfast the next morning was very good. There is a bar and a few eating options downstairs during the evenings. We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would stay here again.

    our hosts were friendly and warm, welcoming us to their home. Our accommodations were impeccable, they even prepared the hot tub for us when we arrived back late from a day trip. Breakfast delicious…authentically Icelandic, down to the home-caught smoked trout and homemade blueberry jam!

    Comfortable hotel, conveniently placed by the ring road just outside Borganes. Nice room, friendly staff, excellent breakfast, and good views from the rooms. We had dinner in the hotel which was very good and similar price to other hotels we stayed at during our ring road trip.

    Somehow I thought it is going to be cute boutique hotel, but this is just a hostel in an old building. Couldn’t stay there, so we left. It was my fault I didn’t read description good enough, so I can’t rate them too bad

    Everything! The movie themed room was awesome. It was like a little home versus a small hotel room. Maja (owner) was very sweet and accommodating. We booked last minute after leave a different hotel down the street.

    Very easy and flexible check-in and check-out. The cabin was clean and well equipped. The biggest advantage of this place is an opportunity to walk outside the farm and pet sheep or Icelandic horses.
