Accommodation
Special deals for RE:22 participants
Finding Accommodation in Reykjavik
Reykjavik is a popular tourist destination so booking accommodation in advance is recommended. It is not a large city and the conference venue is at the outskirts of the city center, less than 1km from the top of the main street for shops, cafés, bars and restaurants, Laugavegur. That's about 12 minutes on foot. The main street itself is about 1 km long and its side streets and parallel streets are also hopping.
The address of the main conference venue is: Stakkahlíð, 105 Reykjavík (the University of Iceland School of Education).
Hotels offering a special price for RE22 participants
A number of hotels in Reykjavik that are in easy reach of the conference venue either by foot or public transport offer a special price to RE22 conference participants on the dates: 10/06/2022 - 19/06/2022. Each hotel has its own cut off date for the discount that is listed in the write up for each one. After these deadlines you can only book for the usual rates. Booking instructions are provided with each entry as are other basic terms. Please also note that if you need to arrive earlier, or stay longer, you should contact the hotel directly.
