Hótel Lækur, Golden Circle Hotels
Family-run countryside hotel in a secluded location with modern rooms, a restaurant, and a spa
Overview
Nestled in the middle of peaceful fields, this family-run hotel was once a farm, so it has country-style buildings, and there are even animals on the premises—including friendly llamas. Rooms are modern and simple, allowing you to focus on the natural surroundings outside. Families can comfortably spread out in triple or quadruple rooms with multiple beds. For extra space, book the split-level suite with a river view, which can sleep up to six in two bedrooms and a living room. Bathrooms include rainfall shower heads.
The on-site restaurant is located in the former sheep house, which gives it some cozy character. It offers a small but tasty menu that includes options for vegetarians and children, a major plus in this remote location. Cozy up with a drink at the bar or relax in the sauna and hot tub, free for hotel guests. If you’re hoping to catch the northern lights, ask the staff to call you when they appear, and head out to find a spot away from the lights of the hotel; there’s plenty of space on the property to watch them.

Wifi – Check On RequestIceland
Choosing the right time to visit Iceland depends on what you would like to see and do. To see the Northern Lights, visit in winter—and thus brave ultra-short days and brisk weather. If your goal is to hike, road trip, and otherwise explore outdoors, the best times are late spring and early fall. Summer months bring great weather and long days, but also attract big tourist crowds.
Where should I go in Iceland?
Iceland has much more to offer than the popular (and crowded) Golden Circle and South Coast areas. We highly recommend exploring Iceland’s remote regions such as Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the Westfjords, Lake Myvatn, and the East Fjords. See our recommended tours & itineraries to get ideas on how to plan your trip to Iceland.
How many days do I need?
You can have an epic Iceland experience when you spend at least 5 days. Shorter trips are possible but won’t give you enough time to explore beyond the Reykjavik area and the western section of the South Coast. With 8 days or more, you can complete the famous Ring Road and see sights that most tourists miss, like Godafoss Waterfall, the unique volcanic hotspots surrounding Lake Myvatn, and the Westfjords.
Getting around in Iceland
Most travelers drive themselves in Iceland during the summer season (Mid-April to November), and some opt for small group or guided tours during the winter season when weather, wind, and limited daylight can make driving more difficult. The Ring Road is Iceland's iconic multi-day road trip (typically 7-10 days), with many opportunities to extend further to more remote areas such as the highlands, the Westfjords, and northern coast.
