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.

    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!

    The hostess, Kristen and her husband, were very gracious and accommodating. I loved all the fine tuned details…real candles, hot rocks in the shower, sanitary napkins for the ladies, wine glasses, chocolate, fresh picked tea leaves!!!lots of towels!, bathing suits, flip flops, light weights, etc…breakfast was gorgeous. Welcome drink and appetizer in the main house, exquisite! This is a home and you can feel it. This was our last night in Iceland and we were beyond pleased ❤️

    Beautiful Hotel / Hostel! The staff is so awesome and friendly and welcoming; I cannot express that enough! Especially as a solo traveler a lot of times you're not sure what to expect next. Breakfast was soooo good; I loved it! It wasn't really what I was expecting, definitely more of a luxury hotel type experience, but hey - it was awesome! AND it's one of THE cheapest hostels in Iceland. (I know bc I checked the entire island lol.)

    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.

    This is a lovely place to stay for a few days: 3 if you choose the hotel rooms, more if you choose the cabin. The beds were very comfortable in both places, the owner extremely pleasant and helpful, the location great to visit the surrounding areas, the breakfast fair and full of local products, and the area very quiet. I really liked my stay there, and if I go to Iceland again I shall rent the cabin again.

    We stayed at quite a few hotels in Iceland. This was on top of the list of best hotel! It's brand new and I highly recommed this hotel for anyone. The owners made our stay very personal and enjoyable. The rooms are clean, very comfortable and spacious. It's a bit 'off road' to get in the valley but definitely worth it, the roads are fine! Amazing scenery and high changes of seeing the northern lights.

    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.

    Absolutely brilliant hotel and golf course. Beautiful receptionists welcoming me here. Pick up on request from Borganes was a plus. (No taxi). Room with a view over the golf course and mountains. Balcony to enjoy the views. Didn't use the sauna or hot pool. Meals in restaurant were delicious, particularly the beer battered fish and chips.

    Clean, new hotel with very good amenities in the spacious and comfortable room. Check-in / check-out took just a few seconds. Breakfast was good, although there could have been a wider selection (more types of cheese and bread, several warm options like bacon, etc.) for a hotel of this size and price range.

    New hotel conveniently located if you'd like to explore eastern Iceland (Snæfellsnes). The hotel has good breakfast and restaurant with good choices of pizza and burgers. The rooms are fairly large and clean. There is a convenient parking in front of the hotel.

    The location was perfect. The room and bathroom comfortable and clean. Breakfast was alright, could have been better. Parking outside the hotel was alright, and two very nice restaurants with a walking distance. We didn't try the restaurant at the hotel.

    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
