How we picked these hotels
We selected hotels that have a strong star rating according to their own listing. We then ranked them by star rating, followed by guest rating. When guest ratings were based on very few reviews, we placed those hotels lower in the list. This method ensures that well-established, highly rated properties rise to the top while still including newer or smaller hotels that show promise. No other factors influenced the order.
Tips for hotels stays in Reykjavik
Book well in advance if you're traveling during summer or around major holidays, as Reykjavik hotels fill up quickly. Consider a downtown location if you want to walk to restaurants and bars, or choose a property slightly outside the center for more quiet and easier parking.
Iceland's weather can change rapidly, so pack layers and waterproof outerwear. Many hotels offer tour pick-up from their lobby, making it easy to join excursions to the Golden Circle or the Blue Lagoon without renting a car.
Check whether your hotel provides breakfast, as it can save time and money before a day of exploring. Also confirm if airport transfers are available, since Keflavík Airport is a fair distance from the city.
If you're sensitive to light, bring an eye mask in summer when the sun barely sets, and in winter, embrace the darkness for Northern Lights viewing. A reusable water bottle is handy, as Icelandic tap water is among the cleanest in the world.
