When booking our hotels for our roadtrip around Iceland we wanted to find a spot for 2 nights located around the Borgarnes area. Naturally with anything outside of Reykjavik, options can be somewhat limited and we were looking for something that wasn't going to be crazy busy or in the centre of town. We then found Hotel Hafnarfjall! Located just off of the Highway 1 (ring road) just before you cross the bridge to Borgarnes heading north, this old school motel is placed right on the coastline looking out over the water to Borgarnes. On arrival we were met by the gentleman in reception who was very welcoming and keen to get us settled in quickly. On being given the key to the room we were shown where it was as it was recently renovated and didn't have a number. We were informed the 2nd key was to the office / breakfast area where tea and coffee was available 24hrs and the area for breakfast as well. **We were informed upfront that as the property is an older wooden property that it can be noisy and were offered complimentary earplugs should we need them. We were also informed about the hot water being geothermally heated, as such it has a slight sulpher smell - not a smell that stays on your skin but is noticeable when you are showering.** The room itself was very spacious, plenty of room for suitcases / bags and sorting. The bed was a large queen bed, very comfortable and easy to relax on after a long day exploring. We opted for a room with a private bathroom which was well kept and clean. Thankfully the room also had blackout curtains as due to the Icelandic summers the number of dark hours were not quite the same as at home and bright and early mornings are just that...EARLY! As this is an old school motel style hotel, a number of rooms you can park outside making bringing things in and out is easy. We had a room overlooking the free evening sauna and hot tub that looks out over the sea - a beautiful scene and one I would request again! Many thanks for a great stay...until next time!
