Iceland, Anyone ?
Does anyone have any ideas for hotels in Reykjavik, and then elsewhere on
the island? I'm planning to fly into the capital and then do a week-long tour, clockwise. Around US$80 per night, or so? Thanks. -- Travel Poster |

I think that you may get breakfast for $80. But a room for the night, typically, would cost considerably more. -- JohnT |

Hum, I think these are the people I used: http://www.icelandholidays.com/ (I don't have my credit card statements to hand to check), but there is an exhaustive list of hotels available for you to check But even the most basic of hotels are expensive In particular I remember staying he http://www.icelandholidays.com/accom...uesthouse.html clean and tidy, but nothing else to merit a mention I paid around 1500 pounds for the week, about 100 pounds a night for hotels, 500 pounds for the car and 300 pounds for the flights tim |

In any case, GBP would better specify the currency; "pound" might mean the Egyptian pound (EGP; 11.2 for one GBP).

It's about as likely as him wanting to visit a supermarket chain in UK called Iceland or to think that it was pounds of sausages. How do I know he's not Egyptian? :-) -- Jim Silverton (Potomac, MD) Extraneous "not." in Reply To. |
