If you are planning a trip to Reykjavik, you may be wondering if you should stay in a hotel or a guest house. There are pros and cons to both options, but in general, guest houses are a better choice for most travellers.
Hotels can be expensive, especially in popular tourist destinations like Reykjavik. Guest houses are often much more affordable, and you can usually find good deals if you book in advance.
Guest houses are also a great option if you are travelling with a group. They often have more rooms than hotels, which can save you money. And, since they are smaller, guest houses feel more like home than a big hotel.
Another advantage of guest houses is that they are often located in great locations. You can usually find one that is close to the attractions you want to see and the restaurants and bars you want to visit.
Finally, guest houses often offer amenities that hotels do not, such as breakfast or parking. This can save you money and make your trip easier. So, if you are planning a trip to Reykjavik, choose a guest house and enjoy your stay!.
