Hostel
If you have a backpacker’s soul, a small budget, or are travelling to Iceland alone, this may be a good option for you.
Guesthouse
Whether they are someone’s actual home or an establishment more like a cosy and simple inn, Reykjavik guesthouses most often offer the best access to downtown.
3 Star Hotel
Three star hotels are often in the middle of downtown areas. When they are not, they are about ten minutes away by taxi or bus. The accommodations are simple but many offer possible upgrades and triple rooms if travelling as a family.
4 Star Hotel

Appartment
If you chose to do this Iceland travel with your family or in a group of friends, you can rent apartments in Reykjavik by the day or by the week.
