What guests think

At Hotel Hafnarfjall, travelers praise the scenic setting by the water near Borgarnes and the friendly staff, while feedback on the rooms and amenities varies between modern, comfortable cabins and older, smaller hotel rooms with occasional noise and maintenance issues.

Many enjoy the hot tub and sauna, though some report inconsistent shower temperatures and a noticeable sulfur smell in the hot water. Breakfast quality ranges from simple to very good, with variety sometimes limited. Expect a scenic, low-frills stay that shines most in the newer cabins.

Staffs are great, checkin was smooth, and it also included breakfast. The building is bit old so you can hear other rooms easily. In addition, the second floor has very low ceiling, so you can even bump to it when sit up on the bed. Hot water has a extremely strong sulphur smells. Considering the price, I would give it 3*.

We stayed for one night. Our room was renovated and the bed was comfy. The hotel has a sauna and a hot tub whose water is geothermal from the nearby mountain. The beach is in walking distance and the town is a few minutes drive across the bridge. Overall, a nice and relaxing stay!

Wir waren in einer der neueren Cabins und die war richtig neu und sauber. Tolle Aussicht aufs Wasser und die Stadt Borgarnes. Das Wetter war ziemlich windig und nass aber wir haben gemütlich im Hot Pot gesessen. Die Anlage liegt Nahe zur Ringstraße, was natürlich sehr verkehrsgünstig ist, dadurch hört man aber auch bei offenem Fenster ab morgens den Verkehr, was uns jetzt allerdings nicht sonderlich gestört hat. Mal gucken, ob die Cabins die nächsten Jahre so ordentlich und gepflegt bleiben. Es wäre zu wünschen.

First I would like to mention that we stayed in the cottage, so my review is about it. Easy check in. The property is 5 minutes from town on a beach area, so there nothing around. We loved it. The cottage was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable EXCEPT the pillows which were triable- flat and old- NEED NEW Pillows!! Also recommend to have a mat by the front door and kitchen towel. We enjoyed our stay for one night and definitely will recommend this glance. Breakfast was good as well. There a hot tub, dry sauna and small relaxation room. We used it and enjoyed it!

I stayed for two nights in a modern cabin close to the beach, which I think they refer to as a "luxury cottage". Friendly staff, clean & comfortable room with kitchenette including a microwave and mini fridge. A simple but filling breakfast each morning at the main building was included in the price. Brilliant! I would stay here again.

The hotel Hafnarfjall was just terrible. The condition of both rooms (Rooms 4 & 5) was not clean, the bedding was worn, and the bathroom needed a major cleaning and upgrade. This hotel was the worst hotel on our 17-day trip to Iceland. I woke up with many bite marks on my body staying in Room 4 near the twin bed by the window which I have documented, most likely from this hotel. In the morning, coffee was instant coffee and not made fresh.

La douche était pas très propre et l'eau chaude sentait énorme t le souffre car elle provient des sources d'eau chaude. Le petit déjeuner est également peu varier des gâteaux du supermarché, peu de choix. Encore une fois la photo ne represente pas le réel

Rooms

Newer cabins are modern, comfortable, and sometimes include kitchenettes and views. Several hotel rooms are small or attic-style with low, sloped ceilings, and noise between rooms can be an issue.

Eramos 3 parejas y 2 reservaron por booking y mi esposa y Yo con ustedes. A ellos le llego un comunicado sobre cual y como iba ser su ckeck in pero a mi no fue asi. Tuve que buscar cual cuarto tenia alguna llave pegada y utilizar ese cuarto sin tener la seguridad que fuese el que me tocaba. Por esa razon no pudimos descanzar por la inseguridad. Las fotos mostradas en la aplicación te hacen pesar que te vas a quedar en un buen lugar pero no fue la experiencia adquirida Perecia mas que estaba en un Motel que en un Hotel. El cuarto pobre y con toallas rotas. Entiendo que la publicidad en la aplicación es un engaño.
