Before going to the capital of Iceland, it is worth considering the available accommodation options. Hotels here are not so much, but those that are, differ in very high prices. And it is not even not about representatives of famous European chains of hotels. Small private mini hotels in Reykjavik will seem very expensive to you. However, I recommend that you consider several of our compatriots of accommodation options in Reykjavik, combining good quality at a reasonable price.
1. Metropolitan Hotel (Ranargata 4a). This is a small three-star hotel, a 10-minute walk from Reykjavik's main shopping street, where the most famous shops, souvenir shops and restaurants of national cuisine are located. Please note that this is a budget hotel. The rooms here are made in a very modest design. Some of them require repair. Before checking, I recommend to inspect the number for the absence of slots in the windows, which can deliver discomfort in the Icelandic climate. Make sure that the small TV in your room has a good TV channel reception signal. Choosing them, though small, but the TV can not show anything at all. Teapot, refrigerator or minibar in the room no. The bathroom has a small shower. No toiletries are also provided. At the same time, rooms have free Wi-Fi. In the evening the speed is reduced. Breakfast, which is not included in the room rate and is served at the local restaurant (more precisely, to say in the dining area of the first floor, calculated only in several tables) for 400 rubles there is no point. It is continental here, which means it is a small selection of buns, jam and coffee / tea. Lost or dinner at this hotel will not be possible. To search for an appropriate place for meals, refer to the reception where you will be helped to navigate in the city map and prompt which restaurant to choose, based on your requests. There are no parking on the territory adjacent to the hotel. In this area, narrow and ornate streets. Even a transfer bus from the airport will not be able to approach here and several quarters will have to go with the suitcases on foot. Also landing on excursion buses that collect tourists in the mornings from their hotels will be made on a small distance from your hotel. The room rate at this hotel begins from 4000 rubles, which by the standards of Reykjavik, quite fiscal. In addition to standard double rooms, the hotel offers accommodation in single and triple rooms (with an area of 10 and 18 square meters, respectively). The cost will be within 4000-5000 rubles. Children under two years stayed at the hotel for free. Check in - from 14 o'clock. Began to approach before. The hotel rooms have little, and if you arrive before this hour, you will simply offer to leave your belongings from the reception and go to walk around the city before lunch. Departure from the hotel - at 12 o'clock. Please note that at night the reception does not work. Leave the key on the rack and leave the hotel at this time yourself. By the way, the entrance door is always closed. Upon arrival, knock and you will open a duty officer from the reception.
2. Hotel "Orkin" (Brautarholti, 29). This hotel is located almost on the central shopping street Reykjavik. The district is always noisy, crowded. The hotel has a lot of holidaymakers, but mostly European youth. Consider this if you count on a secluded family vacation. The hotel has only 22 rooms. There are two, three-, four, five-bed rooms, as well as a family room, designed for six living rooms. The area of the standard double room is only 13 square meters. Rooms, ranging from a triple, have an area of 20 square meters. Thus, laying down a large campaign in a two-level family room with an attic that can be safely saved, but the living conditions will be crammed enough. From the equipment in the room only TV. The private bathroom has a hairdryer. Wi-Fi is free and there are all rooms. Extra entertainment in this hotel has a small specialized table tennis facilities. And in the lobby of the hotel there is a computer with internet access to which guests can also enjoy free. If you are rented by arriving in Iceland, you have free public parking for you on the territory adjacent to the hotel selection. The cost of rooms in the hotel starts from 4000 rubles. Accommodation in the family room will cost 7000 rubles a day. At the same time, children under the age of 6 will live for free. Check in the hotel - from 14 o'clock. Estimated hour - 12 hours.
3. "CENTRIC Guesthouse" (LæKJARGATA, 6B). This option is suitable for lovers so popular in Iceland Guesthouses, or simply apartments. This guest house is located in one of the historic buildings of the Central Reykjavik near the central shopping street. The rooms are very modest, small prace and, as a rule, need to be repaired. There is no private bathroom in all rooms. If your number does not provide for individual amenities, you will have to use a shared toilet on the floor. But all rooms have a sink and a small seating area. Wi-Fi is also available in all rooms and is available on a special code for free. It can be taken at the reception. I recommend to try traditional Icelandic dishes at the local cozy Veidikofinn restaurant, which is located on the first floor of this guest house. It is stylized under the traditional hunting hut for indigenous people. And in the local bar you can order anything from drinks. If you need a transfer to the airport, then you will be able to organize it at an extra fee on the reception desk. The cost of accommodation in a single room with a shared bathroom will cost only 3,500 rubles. In a double room with individual amenities - from 5000 rubles per day. Children under 4 live for free, and for kids under the age of 2 years there are free baby cots. Check in the hotel - from 14 o'clock. Departure - up to 11 hours.
