Heading to Iceland in Aug 2026 for the eclipse, and 4-5 days of sightseeing. Plan to stay 2-3 nights in Reykjavik and need one more accommodation. Travel agent is suggesting Reykjavik as home base for day trips to the South, and 2 nights in the North at Hotel Budir on Snaefellsnes Peninsula.
I was under the impression the Southern coast is the place to be - should we be pushing to stay on that coast instead of Snaefellsnes Peninsula? If so, any favorite hotels / lodges ?

We went to Iceland in Aug 2024 we spent the first and last nights in Reykjavík. Then 2 nights at the Greenhouse in Hveragerdi and then 2 nights at Hotel Skogafoss. We covered the south cost and had a great trip. Both those hotels were fine. I think we could have replaced one night at Hveragerdi with another night in Reykjavík but our itinerary worked well.
