3 Star Hotels in Reykjavik

Reykjavik's 3-star hotels cluster along Laugavegur, the main shopping street, and spread for a few blocks in every direction — from the harbour to the quiet residential edges near Laugardalur. You rarely pay for a location at this level: several sit within a 10-minute walk of Hallgrimskirkja, and some put you steps from the airport shuttle stop. What separates them is the balance of breakfast, parking, and guest rating.

The entry price here is nearly a bargain by Icelandic standards — rates from around 4,797 ISK a night are mostly rooms with kitchenettes rather than full-service stays, while the upper end approaches the price of a 4-star without quite reaching it. The page also lists a handful of guest houses, aparthotels, and bed & breakfasts alongside the hotels, which is useful when you prefer self-catering.

The bottom line

3-star hotels in Reykjavik are an excellent fit for travellers who want a central location and good value without paying for luxury. They're ideal for couples and solo travellers who plan to spend most of their time exploring. If you need more space for a family, consider the 'Family Friendly hotels in Reykjavik' section. For a higher level of service and amenities, you might also look at the '4 star hotels in Reykjavik'. And if you're on an extremely tight budget, the 'Cheap and budget hotels in Reykjavik' page might offer more options, while those seeking self-catering independence can also see 'Guest houses in Reykjavik'.
