Laugardalslaug

This place is great! Friendly staff and patrons along with a very reasonable entrance fee - especially in comparison to tourist spas. The facilities are pretty extensive, with multiple pools, hot tubs at various temperatures and a steam room. This place was also walking distance from our hotel.

For 9 euros you have the Icelandic thermal pools, spa, sauna and wellness experience for as long as you want. It's not the blue lagoon or sky lagoon but it definitely is a relaxing open air great experience if you want the feel of the thermals without the mountains views. And its not a natural one

Laugardalslaug was one of the most impressive experiences we had in Iceland. For a very reasonable price of 1,380 ISK per person, you can enjoy a wonderful local geothermal swimming pool that even has water slides. Visiting a local swimming pool is an absolute must when traveling in Iceland, and we highly recommend this one!

old facilities elderly people with skin diseases usually swimming pools need a dermatologist's note enough chlorine! the water is not filtered!! it is not recycled at all!!! a lot of dirt! If the sea water filled the large swimming pool too, it would be something very good unique!!!!

Came here as a tourist and would just say - it kicks the pants off pretty much any public pool I have been to in North America. There is one surprising reason for this. Is there an attendant that makes sure you shower before you go in? Yes! They put these signs everywhere in North America but nobody obeys them. But there is a reason those signs exist. If everyone cleaned off properly, pools wouldn't need to use so much chlorine or bromine to kill off the microbes. Another reviewer said Laugardalslaug uses more chlorine than most pools in Iceland. I have no reason to doubt this, but even then I couldn't detect it in my nostrils afterward. Bonus (not the supermarket): having a changeroom where the floor is actually dry, because again - they MAKE you dry off before leaving the showers and entering the changeroom. I'm willing to bet athlete's foot is less of an issue here than in North America. Anyway, if you are in Reykjavik (especially if you are camped next door), do yourself a favour and go to Laugardalslaug. Do the second cheapest thermal cycle you'll likely ever experience (cheapest being the Reykjadalur thermal river). The pools are nice and clean and not crowded. We had a nice chat with some friendly locals in the hot tub. Get a hot dog afterward, the stand outside offers veggie dogs too. Be respectful and follow the rules at the pool. You will thank yourself, and become an evangelist for pre-pool showers. Unfortunately I fear most of my fellow North Americans are too prudish to take them seriously.
