Iceland accommodation tips?

We were in Reykjavik a week ago. The days were 15-16C with a lazy wind. Out of the wind it is comfortable and the sunlight is very bright. We usually used our puffer jackets and varied the inner layers. A very different and interesting land.
Prepare yourself for sulphur smelling showers as the hot water is geothermally heated.
We only stayed at one hotel and day tripped from there .

"Lazy wind" always makes me think of a gentle breeze that's too lazy to go fast but then I recall it means "too lazy to go around, so just goes straight through you". I lived in a country town with bore water for many years so very used to sulphurous showers. How far did you day trip? I was thinking of doing an island circuit. People try to do that in seven days but it's too much apparently if you want to see anything.

We did the golden circle on one day then down south to Vik another which covered a lot of ground and interesting spots. The edge of the American geological plate was the most interesting spot for me. I would not like to try to drive around in 7 days. The flow of the traffic and the standard of roads precludes this.
