Hotel Laki in Kirkjubaejarklaustur

🌍
Skaftarhreppur, Q2FQ+RCG
● Center: 5 km

Guests frequently mention the excellent breakfast buffet included with the stay, noting a variety of hot and cold items such as eggs, sausages, bread, cheese, and fruit. The hotel’s location allows many visitors to see the Northern Lights directly from the parking area due to the lack of nearby light pollution. Rooms are often described as clean, spacious, and comfortable, with some featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and mountain or lake views. The restaurant and bar receive praise for quality food and a relaxed atmosphere, with several guests appreciating the coffee and late bar hours. Free bike rentals and fishing opportunities in the adjacent lake add to the outdoor activities available on site. Some reviews note that bathrooms in certain rooms need updating or improvements, especially in economy rooms. A few guests found dinner at the hotel to be relatively expensive compared to breakfast. One reviewer pointed out that internet access is not available in the cottages, recommending booking a room in the main building instead. The hotel is located in a remote area with few supporting facilities nearby, which might be inconvenient for some travelers. The buffet breakfast can become crowded during peak times, leading to long lines and a limited buffet space.

Great experience!
Me and my girlfriend stayed two night at Laki Hotel and everything was nice.
Good breakfast, nice and tidy room, friendly and polite staff.
We also spotted Northern Lights from the hotel parking, due to its position.

What a great hotel! My husband and I stayed here for two nights on our recent trip. It was a perfect mid-way point between Jokulsarlon glacier area and Vik. They had fabulous rooms, dining, and bar experience. Would recommend!

A good option in the middle of nowhere! Great breakfast that was included in the hotel fee. But dinner was too pricey. Lovely views from a beautiful deck. Comfortable rooms. 3-person.
24.09.2025 Carmen
We've stayed here only for one night. The place is nice, the rooms were clean and spacious, they have a nice restaurant and bar - good service and good drinks. The view from the terrace was impressive. Beautiful atmosphere.
But they clearly need to make some improvements for the bathrooms.
20.09.2025 Tabitha
We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The bedrooms were comfortable and a good size and the breakfast was good. They allowed us to store some bits in their fridge which was great. The highlight for us was seeing the northern lights here.

The location is okay. On the way to Vatnajökull, the breakfast tastes good. Overall, the price/performance ratio is not high.

Great place as a rest stop near kirkjubaer. We used Hotel Laki is a base for 3D2N. Nice view from room, service staff spoke english very well. Breakfast was basic and sufficient, eggs, vegetables, cold cuts and cereal with various sauces. Bread toasting station. Id say the machine coffee (espresso based) was one of the best machine made ones we had in Iceland. Nice view from restaurant and bar as well. My room was missed for cleaning but its fine not much had to be done anyway. Plenty of room and bathroom space. Welcomed by a lovely border collie in the compound. Bar opens late till 11

There are relatively few hotels in the town, so this is a good choice.
