On a BusTravel Iceland multi-day tour that includes accommodation, you’ll stay in carefully selected hotels conveniently located along the route. Every room has a private bathroom, free Wi-Fi, a made-up bed, and a breakfast buffet waiting each morning. Our partner hotels keep a consistent standard, so your last night feels like your first. Below, we take a closer look at the hotels, room standards and facilities you can expect when travelling on a multi-day tour operated by BusTravel Iceland.
Key Takeaways
- Multi-day tours with accommodation use mostly 3-star hotels with private bathrooms.
- A twin room is standard, and a double or triple costs nothing extra.
- Breakfast is included in the tour price, while travellers are responsible for paying for their own lunch and dinner during the trip.
Where Do You Stay on Iceland Multi-Day Tours?
On Ring Road trips, you move between country hotels close to the next day’s route, while shorter tours and packages base you in one hotel, often in the southern region of Iceland or central Reykjavik. Rooms lean toward simple Nordic design. Our guide to what to expect on a multi-day tour explains the pace of the days.
Country hotels pay off in winter, because dark skies far from town give you a real shot at the Northern Lights. Most hotels offer an aurora wake-up call on request.
What Does a Typical Hotel Room Include?
Every room has an ensuite bathroom, free Wi-Fi, and most come with towels, a hairdryer and a kettle. A twin is standard, but you can ask for a double or triple at no extra charge. Triples aren’t available everywhere, so a group of three may get a double plus a single.
Expect two single beds pushed together, each with its own duvet, even in a double room. That’s normal across Iceland. Each bed is 90 cm (35 in) wide, so the pair makes 180 cm (71 in).
Which Meals Come With Your Stay?
Breakfast is a continental buffet with bread, cereal, yogurt, fruit and coffee, enough to carry you to a late lunch. Your guide picks the lunch stop, and dinner is usually at the hotel.
Lunch and dinner are not part of the tour price, so budget for two paid meals a day. Hotel dinners tend to be the easy option, since many partner hotels sit well outside town.
Why Stay Overnight Instead of Taking a Long Day Trip?
A day trip from Reykjavik to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon runs about 14 hours, much of it on the road. Our 2-day South Coast tour covers the same coast with one hotel night in between and a chance to visit an ice cave.
You reach the lagoon rested, and the waterfalls on the way stop feeling rushed. It runs from October to April.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much luggage can I bring on a multi-day tour?
Each guest can bring one suitcase of up to 20 kg (44 lbs) and a small backpack. The suitcase stays on the bus during the day, so you only carry the backpack at each stop. Packing layers instead of bulky outfits keeps you under the limit.
Is there Wi-Fi at the hotels and on the bus?
All partner hotels offer free Wi-Fi, and our buses have onboard Wi-Fi too. The connection can be slower in remote parts of the country. Download maps or shows in Reykjavik if you plan to use them in the evening.
Should my tour start on the day I land in Iceland?
We recommend starting a multi-day tour at least one day after you arrive. Early morning arrivals can sometimes make it, but a delayed flight could mean missing the first day. Booking a Reykjavik hotel for your arrival night takes that risk off the table.
