Iceland Hotels - Useful Sites

While planning my driving trip round Iceland, I found it most difficult to find hotels outside of Reykjavik and Akureyri where we spent most of our time!

There isn't one central site which lists these places.

Also, many of the hotels or guesthouses are expensive (and not very nice) though some offer shared bathrooms for a lower price. The whole shared bathroom concept is rather strange for me (college is over!) but at least the bathrooms are fairly clean.

Here are the sites that were most helpful.

Reykjavik and Akureyri:

Trip Advisor Iceland Hotels

Priceline UK

Hotels.is - Quite comprehensive

Outside of the big cities:

Edda Hotel Chain - Great if you are driving. Hotels throughout Iceland

Fosshotels - Hotels throughout Iceland but not as comprehensive as Edda

Icelandic Farm Holidays - B&B / Farm accomodation throughout Iceland. Site is hard to use but there is a wealth of accommodation options.

My Iceland Travel Diary details the hotels we stayed at each night with photos and approximate prices:
