What people say

Nally Preseault

"For a long time, the further you traveled from Reykjavík, the worse your hotel options would get. Thankfully, that's not true anymore--or you would have been in trouble way out in Klaustur. Hótel Klaustur is a modern, eco-friendly hotel in Southeast Iceland. The two-story hotel has 57 rooms with mountain or river views. Its light-filled restaurant serves a breakfast buffet (included) in the morning and a seasonal, locally inspired menu at night. The bar has cozy nooks, a gas fireplace, and happy hour from 4-6 pm each night. Charging stations outside are ready for your electric rental car. Everyone who works here seems happy to help with suggestions and tips. While, best of all, the hotel is just a few miles from Fjaðrárglúfur (a massive canyon) and an easy day trip from Jökulsárlón (the famous glacial lagoon). This hotel is a great home base."

The BEST ICELAND STAYS

The BEST accommodation options for your trip around ICELAND -for ALL BUDGETS. Iceland is an incredible country, its dramatic landscapes and tourist infrastructure make it a must visit destination with appeal for all ages. I coordinated and lead an adventure tour here recently and it is honestly one of the most beautiful and magical destinations I have ever been to. In this guide I share my top recommendations for Icelandic accommodation, divided into budget categories. If you only have a few days and aren't planning to move around much further than the golden circle, or if you won't have access to your own car, my advice would be to stay in Reykjavik for most of your nights and do day trip tours with a stay somewhere special out in the countryside for 1 or 2 nights as a treat. Iceland doesn't have good public transport links outside of the capital so you really have two options, book onto a tour or it's one of the best places to do a self drive adventure. (If you're planning for Winter, don't let the ice worry you- opt for an SUV and contact the rental place in advance to ask for studs on your tyres)

South Iceland

When you head east from Reykjavík, it doesn't take long to leave the Capital Region and enter South Iceland. The city immediately feels quite far away. This area is home to the Golden Circle and Vatnajökull National Park. It's filled with picturesque waterfalls, black-sand beaches, thermal hot springs, iceberg-filled lagoons, stunning hiking trails, and fascinating historic sites. There's a lot to see within relatively short driving distances. It's a good place to start your real Icelandic adventure. This detailed guide includes: Places: towns Stay: hotels Eat: bakeries, food halls, pizzerias, restaurants, soup Drink: breweries Shop: wool products Do: beaches, caves, churches, geysers, hikes, history museums, hot springs, lakes, national forests, national parks, nature reserves, roads, rock formations, rocks, swimming pools, valleys, viewpoints, volcanoes, waterfalls Transportation: parking lots
