4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Akureyri

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Akureyri is during January, November, and December, when hotel prices are generally lower. For an enriching experience, it's recommended to stay for at least 1 to 2 days to discover the city's key landmarks, cultural sites, and natural wonders. You can enjoy activities such as whale watching, visiting cafes and museums, hiking, and sightseeing, as well as experiencing the northern lights. This timeframe provides great value for money, allowing you to explore beautiful gardens, swimming spots, and shopping opportunities while sticking to your budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals for hotels in Akureyri, you may discover the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where discounted rates could be available as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and exclusive promotions, helping you save on your stay. The Smart Shopping feature within the app allows travellers to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're the first to know if prices drop or new rooms become available for your Akureyri getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay in an Akureyri hotel. If you're after something a bit different, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we'll suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to secure a better deal.
