Laugardalslaug

Great place. Very clean. Lovely pools. Even managed a dip in the cold pot! 🥶

Having been to tourist lagoons it was great to have a swim and a hot pot with local people not just other tourist.

Fantastic experience! Our baby loved the pools. The accessibility for a young family was fantastic and the facilities were well cared for. It was easy to understand the procedure for getting to the pool and for showering beforehand.

Excellent experience. Range of hot tubs, swimming outside in wintery ❄ conditions in lovely warm water. Such a long swimming pool too. Slippers (sliders) recommended if there’s snow and ice on the ground to get you around the outside pool and to the hot tubs. Lots of hot tub choice (up to 44°C! 🔥). The outside slide is amazing - and open for adults too! Friendly staff. Well done Laugardalslaug! 👏🏼💯

My favourite pool in Reykjavík hands down. Big area with lots of hot tubs to choose from. Locker room is spacious. Seems to get quite busy in the evenings

Great price value ratio, Icelandic standards.

You need to be open about nudity however, also advised not to take white towel with you (someone took mine to be specific lol) however staff was really helpful after all!

A great alternative to the hot spring spas for those on a budget. Less than 10£ for an adult, 1£ for our youngest member. It is free if your a primary aged child or OAP. Lovely place and is a quick bus ride from the centre. You can’t buy tickets in advance.

Excellent
shoes out when you arrive
shower naked before you enter the pool
many hot tubs, spaces for small kids, for adults, for the more sporty swimmer, and for the ones who just want to enjoy the myriad of hot tubs on offer.

Laugardalslaug is the biggest pool complex on Iceland.
It's located in the capital's eastern part. Big free parking lot in front.
The complex consists of indoor and outdoor pools.
Indoor are two big pools for swimming and water polo - very few people in both.
Outside, there's a big swimming pool (almost Olympic size) with lanes and temp around 28-29'C. For me this was very important as I could properly swim in hot water. Remember, in Lagoons you cannot swim, and it gets boring when you only sit and stare in hot water.
Beside it, there's another shallow pool for kids with slides and with 2 adjoining sitting parts.
Along the main big pool are several big hot tubs (jacuzzi's) with temp ranging from 38 to 44'C and a cold dip of 11'C (highly recommended).
Besides all these, there's a very fair size steam room and sauna.

I cannot attach any photos as it is forbidden to take your cell phone or camera into the pool area (you must leave them in the lockers), contrary to the Lagoons where everybody's taking pics

Fantastic for a couple of hours with the family. Very clean, I was impressed. Clear instructions to follow. Remember to bring your towel with you into the shower area else the grumpy old man will shout at you for bringing water into the locker room area!

44 degree Celsius hot tub was TOASTY! Fun for adults (swim lanes, and relaxing pools) & kids (slides and play area). Reminder this is all outside so probably don't want to come on a rainy day. There is an indoor pool but it is used as swim lanes.

I came to know about this while staying at Reykjavik campsite. It was a Friday evening, went there directly without any prior reservations. Thankfully, there was no waiting and directly walked straight into locker room. Locker area and shower rooms are clean and clear instructions written everywhere. Pool was good, thermal water area was relatively smaller but was manageable.

Last went here around 1998, it’s changed a lot but brought back all the amazing memories from when I was previously there, it also now has an indoor pool and various other things, highly recommend

O M G this place is epic!!! Def worth a visit. Just a swimming pool maybe but seriously heated and lots and lots of heated mini pools around it. There was an indoor and outdoor laned pool, then a generic large kids pool with basketball ball net for mucking about and a couple of slides (including a really high but slow one). Around the pools were series of hot tubs ranging from 38°|40°|42°|44° (not for the faint hearted) |40-42° specially pumped in from a well (sulfur+other salts)|5-8° (epic cold dunk!!) + Sauna room
This place was seriously clean with naked showers mandated pre and post swimming. (With private areas for those more modest about showing all and sundry to strangers!)
Adequate locker space with funky NFC bands. Also shop here to buy swimming stuff in case u forgot and they can lend u towels. Defo worth a visit

The most overlooked experience and best value. This is where locals go. It was the equivalent of approximately $13 Canadian dollars, includes towel and locker. Steam bath, Olympic swimming pool, geonthermal pools and even a salt water geo thermal. Highly recommended. .

Big outside (and inside) pool for swimming anf fun with hot baths and slides. Swimming suit dryer is a really nice treat, and the whole premises are very nice and clean. No possibility to buy refreshment but you can take your water etc to the pools. And no phones by the pools.

This swimming pool needs a little bit of refurbish as facilities are older than others in town but everything is super clean and pools are very fun for children. My only complain, if any, would be the floors are very slippery. Is the only swimming pool I have visited in Iceland where every time I go, someone falls because of it. Also, hot pots are a bit small and with high walls which make looking out for children a bit more difficult than other places.

Great place to spend time, good for kids, families and adults.
Loved the jacuzzis and sauna.

Really loved the sea water hot pot at the far corner of the pool. It's the more crowded one but worth the detour!

Visited New Year’s Day 2023. Really great to have such a good facility in the city and very close to our hotel. We read previous reviews and knew what to expect…..showers (naked) before swim but the changing and showering facilities were fine (separate men and women). Good locker system, no cash required. And, bonus for us oldies, all free for over 67’s! Admittedly could do with a coat of paint in places, but we thoroughly enjoyed our winter outdoor swim. Various temperature pools plus swimming pool with lanes and also a circular pool, fine for just enjoying a leisurely swim. Thoroughly recommend!

Omg, I wish we had one of these places in South Jersey. Thank you for sharing your Beautiful Island Icelandic people. So nice & friendly!

10 minutes bus from Reykjavik downtown, but highly recommended for the special experience here.
