Fosshotel Reykjavík

Location, breakfast was good but it could have been better if they have different types for different days. We stayed 3 nights and it’s the same breakfast each day except they change one item. The coffee station was only one and usually a big line with so many people at the buffet breakfast. That would work with limited people but we are all in a rush to get going for the day. I would also recommend to have a water station to fill in our bottles rather than inconveniencing someone from the bar to fill it for us when we can get it ourselves or provide water inside the room would be great.

Breakfast was good, lots of choice. Bus stop 12 right outside so convenient for tours. Rooms get quite hot and window only opens a small amount. Tip, don't remove key card when leaving as the window automatically closes when you remove the card

The breakfast buffet was superb. A range of hot food, including deliciously light pancakes and the best bacon I've eaten. I loved the skyr, fruit and granola "bar". Two juice and coffee stations so even when it was very busy there was a maximum one person wait to get a drink. Staff cleaned away dirty plates quietly and efficiently - save your cutlery if you want to go for another round of food! The coffee was excellent. We filled out water bottles and thermos cups for the day before we left - which was considered completely acceptable. The bread, pastries and meats/cheese/salmon/sliced veggies selection were also very good. We were at Fosshotel for Christmas, Haust was decorated really tastefully for the festive season, with a mini "santa" playhouse for small children. Though most children there were incredibly well behaved and ate quietly. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. We have teen and adult children who appreciated the free Wifi! The rooms were very clean and comfy. Though a little too warm for our liking - we opened the windows at night to cool down. The cool -5 C air reduced the temp a bit but the rooms were still warm, we turned off the radiators. Bedding was clean and crisp. Nice, fluffy towels too! Lovely shampoo/bodywash and conditioner. We had intended on staying 3 nights and then travel to Vik but due to the road being closed we couldn't go. The reception staff were amazing. Our children were able to stay in their room and my husband and I moved (we had to move from a large suite to a standard double) but they found one opposite our children's room. The standard double was smaller but just as lovely. Underground parking (small fee) with lifts to all floors was ideal. No scraping snow off the car in the morning!

The location is central. Bathroom with big soaking tub. Heated floor and towel rack. Separate Shower. Gorgeous Harbor View. All tours and airport pick ups right outside the door. Great vibe and food in beer garden. Staff efficient and nice

Good staff , helpful - clean room, nice view - good mattresses/beds !! The staff was nice and generally I felt really good about staying here. Will be back anytime I’m in Iceland. Breakfast was good . Easy walk to dinner and waterfront. Street parking was easy after the hotel staff explained it and I never had to use the garage. You can pay for parking on the parking app and also I think some places nearby on weekends is free. But check the signs.
