About Reykjavik University

Reykjavik University is a modern university in Reykjavik, known in Icelandic as Háskólinn í Reykjavík. It sits in the city's university and business district, a compact area of glass-fronted offices, lecture halls and student housing, within easy reach of the waterfront and the centre. Visitors come for lectures, conferences, research visits, exams and graduations, and many combine the trip with a few days in the city. Because the campus sits a short way from the historic centre, guests often stay in the surrounding streets and walk to meetings rather than commute across town. The area around the university is calm in the evenings and well placed for reaching both the old harbour and the main shopping streets on foot or by a short ride. For anyone attending an event here, hotels near Reykjavik University make the daily trip to campus simple and quick, whether the visit lasts a single morning or a full week.

Tips for staying near Reykjavik University

  • Graduations, exams and conferences fill the campus and the surrounding streets on set dates, so if you are travelling for a specific event, reserve your room as soon as those dates are known rather than leaving it late.
  • For early lectures or morning meetings, the closest hotels, at 720 m and 940 m, let you leave on foot a few minutes before you are due, while the 1.3 km and 1.4 km addresses are better suited to a short taxi in bad weather.
  • Reykjavik weather changes quickly and rain arrives with little warning, so a waterproof layer is worth carrying even for the 11 to 20 minute walks between the listed hotels and campus.
