Travellers looking to book last minute hotels in Reykjavík this coming weekend are facing better odds than those who found themselves in the same shoes back in February. According to a survey conducted by the local news site Túristi there is more availability this coming weekend than during the last weekend of February.
According to a survey of the booking site Booking.com hotels in Reykjavík are booked to 77% of capacity over the weekend, compared to 91% at the end of February. Túristi notes that Booking.com does not include all Reykjavík hotels, but adds that their survey should give a good indication of the conditions on the market.
