Breakfast was amazing with so many options to choose from. We stayed for 2 nights but today 07/09 ( Thursday) during breakfast we asked the attendant (Male) if we can pick up an breakfast box for my kid who was not accompanying us for breakfast as he was catching on his sleep. The attendant was flat out rude and asked us to pay. This happened today (07/09/2026) between 7:00 - 8:00 am at FossHotel Reykjavik. It basically just wiped out all impression we had about your hotel. Thank You.

Some of the front desk staff are unkind and unhelpful to us, and to others as we observed.
1). We arrived about 9am and told a front desk agent that we flew for more than 10 hours overnight from Canada and wish to check in if room was available. A front desk agent checked computer and told us room was available but advised us that we had to pay an early check-in fee if we wish to check in without any further explanation. This is so unkind . we never heard of this early check-in fee during travels all over the world. they are unkind and so unhelpful.this experience made us feel so bad !
2). Then we did not check in but asked to store our luggage. the agent even did not provide receipts (slips) for our 3 pieces of luggage.what if there are only two when we return and take back our luggage.this is very terrible and unacceptable procedure.
3).the hotel sell wine with no proper price tags. We nought a bottle of wine and got charged 43 Canadian dollars. We later went to front desk to clarify if there is any mistake made. the gentleman pointed to the price tag and said this tag is for 178ml but “the one you bought is 350ml!” but there is no price tag for 350ml. We paid our price for rushing and not checking the details. But this hotel store demonstrated very bad business practice.

It was nice hotel and well located but interested parties should be aware that the hotel is next to a major construction site with loud banging and plenty of noise lasting throughout the day. Also, there is no way to control the temperature in the rooms and despite the cool weather, the rooms were very warm. Daily housekeeping needs to be requested in advance and despite doing so, was not always completed. The breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Beds are small and basically consist of two large cushions that don’t remain together. I would probably consider other options until the construction site is complete.

The staff were very helpful and spoke excellent English. The hotel is 20 minutes walk from the Harpa concert hall and much closer to the main shops. The FossHotel is well located. (On a map it's close to the Hofdi)
It's a huge hotel and very busy at breakfast as several groups/tours will be getting ready to get out at the same time.
Bus stop 12 for tour pickup is right outside (a good thing) but several tour buses turn up around 9.15 and chaos ensues! This is not the fault of FossHotel and if you're relaxed about it it's quite entertaining. We would happily stay there again.

I stayed here twice on our Iceland trip. The first night and the last night. We were a family of six adults, so three rooms. The rooms are clean. The beds are very comfy. The tile floors are heated! I'm sure this would be quite a luxury in the winter. Still felt nice. My only negative about the rooms are they are quite hot despite setting the thermostat down. Had to leave the window open at night to sleep better. Booked through Expedia so I did receive a complimentary drink. Enjoyed the beer garden and any of the beers were included in the complimentary ticket. There are a lot of sitting places in the beer garden, although one night it was very busy and every table and seat was taken. Breakfast was great as are the breakfasts in most of the Icelandic hotels. You have to park on one of the streets near the hotel. Initially I parked in the underground garage but they charged by the hour and I think I would have paid around $50 US overnight. Whereas outside it was free from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m.

Stayed here twice. The first time was wonderful. The second time was good, but the staff member who checked us in was slow and unfriendly. We were told that we paid for breakfast when we booked the room, but she informed us that there was a mistake. I’m not sure what happened, but she made no attempt to make it better. She wasn’t rude, but she wasn’t very friendly either. Oh, well. Iceland was magical and she was the only slight inconvenience that we encountered. Can’t have it all.

The stay was fine actually.

Your email said “how was the check in”. It was not good. I chose foss hotel specifically because it advertised as having ‘parking’. That is no more true than me saying I have parking living in London. Sure you can park in London if you try hard enough. Just nothing to do with my house.

So arrive after 3 hour drive. No obvious place to drop off. Pulled up on pavement as the ONLY choice not being on the road and blocking coaches. Receptionist told me we might get fined there. When I asked where the parking was it’s just roll the dice. You might be able to park on street outside. We couldn’t. You could try the public underground parking next door. I worked out it would cost £90 for one overnight. About half the cost of the room.

Receptionist said we could try surrounding roads. Did that. And found a space in the second car park I tried. Parking meters were only in Icelandic. So had no idea how to use it. Followed by a long walk with luggage and young kids to find the hotel again.

Friendly staff. But don’t advertise parking if you don’t actually have….. parking!!!!

Did I mention there isn’t any parking

The great location in Reykjavik near to sightseeing hot spots, friendly hotel staff and a full range of amenities and a superb City view from the top floors of this hotel makes this a first-choice hotel for me. Bus stop 12 is just outside this hotel which is a collection point for key excursions and tours in Iceland and also transfers from the airport. The Foss chain of hotels are impressive and everything I needed was available at the hotel including late night snacks and sandwiches when returning from the Northern Lights excursions. The only thing I would change is for more conventional air conditioning to be fitted inside rooms and a wider choice for the room service menu including vegetarian options. Loved this hotel so much that I am already planning my next visit in summer 2026 to Reykjavik with a new planned stay at this hotel. Iceland is an amazing country. Excellent!!
