3-star hotels in Kopavogur
A shortlist of 3-star stays in Kopavogur, from guesthouses with bars and fishing to self-contained apartments with free parking. It is for couples, families and short-break visitors who want a quieter Icelandic base with the capital within easy reach.
Staying in Kopavogur
Kopavogur is Iceland's second-largest town and sits just south of Reykjavík, so it works as a calm base with the city's museums, shops and nightlife a short trip away. Its own draw is quieter: long views over the bay towards the mountains, the church at Kopavogur, and everyday Icelandic streets rather than a tourist strip.
These 3-star addresses are spread across the town's residential districts, from Ögurhvarf and Hlíðasmári to Urdarhvarf, Breidahvarf and Hlíðarhjalli, with Aurora Lodge Hotel further out at Veioihus Eystri Ranga. Several place you among local homes, while the apartments suit families and small groups who want their own kitchen space. Couples get bars and balconies at Hótel Heiðmörk, business and short-break travellers get 24-hour reception at Hótel Ísland Comfort, and drivers get free car parking almost everywhere on the list.
