Fosshotel Reykjavík

Great Fosshotel downtown Reykjavík.... Hotel was very crowded because of Cruise Ships Lines departing days to come, lobby was full of people, front desk personnel were very busy but quite efficient ! Our room upgrade was given on time, actually three hours before schedule. From our room in the Tower we could see Reykjavik coast line, during summer month the sun sets around 23.59 and Sun rises at 2.57. Beautiful views all day long ! Restaurant for breakfast and dinner were very good, specially breakfast more options to chose from. Concierge very efficient in Booking tours and ordering taxis. Everything was just perfect, elevators working fast, Lobby great entrance with big revolving door kept cold outside. Fosshotel well located to walk downtown or catch a Local Bus. Next time in Reykjavik we will stay here again.

Fosshotel Reykjavik is very centrally and conveniently located. We arrived very late, after midnight, to a friendly welcome. We had made some very specific requests about room location. When we discovered that the room was right near the walkway from the lifts, specifically not what we asked for, the staff swung into action to help resolve. Options were limited but a suitable room was found and it served us well being towards the end of a passageway, and being quieter. The room was small but comfortable. There was space enough to lay out our two hard suitcases. There was a useful safe in the room as well for valuables. Breakfast both mornings was in the restaurant downstairs. The food was plentiful and very tasty, and there was enough separation between tables in the busy space that you did not feel like guests were crowded. Even at 7.30am it was busy, given that tour groups operate from the hotel. Street parking was found easily when we needed it, which was very convenient. The bathroom is medium to large by Iceland standards and included both a bath and fully enclosed glass shower. The heated towel rail did some hard work! Room service, while pricey, was efficient and the fish and chips were very tasty.

We only stayed one night to facilitate what would have otherwise been a long and late layover at the airport with two small children. So 24 hours in Reykjavik it was. The hotel is nice, clean, and all staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a nice large family room. It is a ca. 15 minute walk to the old 'centre' of town. Was not a problem for us, with kids, but keep it in mind. The breakfast was very good, with a large and varied selection for all diets. You should really try a few different beers at the bar downstairs or its restaurant.

Although we had some concerns about the availability of parking in this area of the city, we found a parking spot on the street and as it was Sunday evening, we didn't have to pay until 0900 Monday morning. It was easy to run out in the morning and settle up on the parking app. Check in was quick and smooth. The hotel was modern and very nice, although I found our room a bit small. However, I understand there is a different culture in this country, and space is at a premium.

the room was amazingly clean. the furniture was cozy, practically located and with a pleasant design. the reception staff were helpful and nice. the cleaning people respected the "do not disturb" sign, even though it was displayed at the time when they usually cleaned up rooms. the location is quite convenient - close to Laugavegur, to supermarkets or bus stops. but with almost no traffic going around the hotel. no noise, less pollution. since the building is so tall, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the windows open. it was lovely to get inside the room proper clean icelandic air.
