Top Norðurmýri Hotel Reviews

Exeter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, cleanness and friendly staff!"

Hotel Viking

8/10 Good

"Was only here for maybe 8 hours to sleep before heading out. I can't really say too much about the place. The walls were paper thin. I can tell you that. Staff were helpful. You can take Bus 55 from Cafe Airport and it takes you pretty much right there. If you're going to Blue Lagoon the bus stop for Destination Blue Lagoon is right across the road"

Igdlo Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"The building and the rooms are a little old and shabby. But everythig reasonably clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the organization (booking, access) etc. worked very well and reliably. The fellow guests were civilized, quiet, clean, and friendly. I hadn't shared a toilet and bathroom in a very long time; the sky-high hotel prices in Reykjavik made me resort to this guesthouse. I didn't regret the decision; I felt comfortable overall."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Norðurmýri?

The best time to visit Norðurmýri is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.

During this period, you'll experience the "midnight sun," meaning nearly 24 hours of daylight, which is superb for exploring and making the most of your trip. Temperatures typically range from 10°C to 15°C, making it comfortable for outdoor activities like walking around the city or venturing out for excursions. This time of year also sees all attractions and services operating at their fullest capacity.

For those hoping to see the Northern Lights, the best time to visit is between September and April. While the weather is colder and daylight hours are significantly shorter, the darker skies offer the best chance to witness this natural phenomenon. You'll need to be prepared for temperatures often below freezing and potentially snowy conditions.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Norðurmýri hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Norðurmýri hotel?

Hotel prices in Norðurmýri often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
