Top Tips
- Book 3-6 months ahead for summer stays (June-August), as hotel rates in Reykjavik often rise 30-50% due to peak travel and festivals like Iceland Airwaves. Rates increase sharply during major events, so compare flexible and nonrefundable options for value.
- Select Icelandic Króna (ISK) as your payment currency at hotel terminals to avoid Dynamic Currency Conversion fees that add 2-8% to your total. Confirm the currency choice before authorizing your card.
- Hotels in quieter areas like Grafarvogur typically cost 15-25% less than central 101 Reykjavik properties. If you have a rental car, consider these neighborhoods for savings.
- Verify Wi-Fi speed during check-in if remote work is planned. Most Reykjavik hotels offer 50-150 Mbps, but winter storms can cause short outages. Consider downloading offline files as a backup.
- Request step-free access or an accessible room in advance. Only 40-60% of hotels in Reykjavik have elevators, especially in older buildings, so confirm elevator availability at time of booking.
- Choose hotels with Nordic Swan or Green Key eco-certifications, which often use geothermal energy and support local conservation. Look for certification logos on the hotel's website or lobby signage.
- Expect a municipal tourist tax charged nightly, usually 280-700 ISK (approx. $2-$5) per room, on top of your rate. Review your booking details for this fee.
- Confirm if breakfast is included, as Icelandic buffets at hotels typically cost 2,200-3,600 ISK (approx. $15-$25) per person when paid separately. Ask about local specialties such as skyr and smoked fish.
- Rooms facing courtyards or on higher floors can be quieter in the 101 and Laugavegur districts, where nightlife creates street noise until 2-3 AM on weekends. Request your preference when reserving.
- Use platforms like HotelTonight for same-day bookings in January-March. Luxury hotels such as Canopy by Hilton often list rooms for 30-50% less by late afternoon. Verify cancellation terms before booking these deals.
- Bring a Type F (Schuko) adapter for Icelandic power outlets; electricity is 230V/50Hz. Check that all chargers and devices are compatible with this voltage.
- Ask if your hotel offers complimentary or low-fee luggage hold. Many properties accommodate early arrivals or late flights, but always confirm availability at check-in.
- Carry a reusable water bottle; Reykjavik tap water is clean and free, saving you 600-900 ISK (approx. $4-$6) daily versus bottled water. Most hotels have refill stations or accessible taps.
- Some hotels partner with local geothermal pools. For example, Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina may include Sky Lagoon passes (a 9,000 ISK/$65 value). Check for these inclusions when comparing rates.
- Request blackout curtains for May-July stays to block the midnight sun. Only about 40% of budget hotels provide them, so confirm availability for restful sleep, especially if sensitive to light.
