Cars 4 Rental Guide To Accomodation in  Iceland

HOTELS: The most deluxe hotels are in the capital Reykjavk and some of them also have hairdressers, shops and beauty parlours. Hotel or hostel accommodation is available in most areas. Grading: All accommodation is classified from 5 star (luxurious) to 1 star (basic) and is managed by the Icelandic Tourist Board. Visitors should look for the blue and red sign near the entrance to a hotel for the current grading. For a complete list of classified accommodation contact the Icelandic Tourist Board (see Contact Addresses section). Back to Top PENSIONS & GUEST HOUSES: These are available in the larger towns. Rooms are also available in private houses with breakfast included in the cost. Back to Top FARMHOUSE HOLIDAYS: Fairly widely available; contact the Icelandic Tourist Board for details.

Back to Top CAMPING/CARAVANNING: There are approximately 125 registered camping sites. Due to unpredictable weather conditions, camping grounds are normally open between June and late August or mid-September. The best-equipped camping grounds are to be found in Akureyri, Eglisstadir, Husafell, Isafjrdur, Jokulsargljufur, Laugarvatn, Myvatn, Reykjavk, Skaftafell, Thingvellire and Varmahlid. In some places camping is restricted to certain specially marked areas. Prices are approximately US$5-7 and it is also possible to camp in National Parks that are supervised by the Convention Council. Campers, however, must request permission from the local farmer to camp on any fenced and/or cultivated land. For further information contact the Icelandic Tourist Board (see Contact Addresses section). Back to Top YOUTH HOSTELS: A total of 24 youth and family hostels are open, including Fossholl, Hrauneyjar, Leirubakki, Njardvik, Reykholt, Reykjavk, Stafafell and Stykkisholmur. Many country hostels provide overnight accommodation for travellers bringing their own sleeping bags or bedrolls for a fee. In uninhabited areas there are a number of huts where travellers can stay overnight. They must observe regulations posted in the huts and bring their own sleeping bags and food.
