Very clean and comfortable room. Great little kitchen but we couldn’t get the fridge to work (didn’t really need it for 1 night stay). Staff was very nice and accommodating. Located right in the middle of a very busy area full of shops and restaurants. Parking was a little tricky but I would definitely stay here again!

Roads were closed making getting to the hotel an odyssey that took 30 extra minutes. Once we arrived we were greeted by a rude associate who informed us our room with parking had no parking so we again were on our own. Room was fine, but water reaked of sulphur smell. Sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable. Poor value for price but acceptable for a nights sleep.

Appreciate that this is a relatively cheap place in the middle of the city but it’s not great. The location is great if you don’t ba e a car but if you do, there is little parking close to the hotel. Breakfast is poor with poor quality cereal, tea/coffee, yogurt, fruit and bread.

The worst things was the room. We booked a double room were given a dungeon of a room on the ground floor, looking out to a fire escape.

Could not wait to leave. Best booked as a one night stay with no intention to stay in the room or the hotel for any extended period if time.

Constant thumping music. There was only a few hours in the morning when my room wasnt vibrating to the bass from the bar downstairs and club on the corner. The music was so loud on Thursday and Friday I could hear each song perfectly.
Its a shame as the hotel is lovely, the staff were wonderful and the room was smaller but clean. Just don't stay here if you want to sleep

The rooms were clean and adequate, but half of it is outside of the main building. Strange to have steps leading to the room, which means you have to lift your luggage up a few steps to reach the door.

If you are facing the street, you can hear the live music from the bars playing all night. We were unable to sleep. Fortunately, the staff accommodated our request to switch rooms, for which I am thankful. But the two front desk staff were cold and did not seem happy to answer questions or help us.

When storing our luggage, we had to go down to the bottom floor to store it ourselves, where all the other staff were with their cleaning supplies and linen. It’s unsafe to be giving guests the storage key with access to other guests’ bags. No clue why the staff doesn’t take the bag themselves.

No parking on site.

All in all, nice rooms, but bad building placement and design. Bad service too. I wouldn’t book again.

Hit issues with the queen bed being two uneven twins pushed together on frames too thick to really form a single bed.

Also sink in room had a problem where it was hard to get purely cold water, and the hot was mineral water with a hint of sulfur. Uncomfy to drink.

Its a collection of 3-4 floor buildings clustered together at the corner of 2 streets; along with its restaurant.
In the heart of downtown and very walkable- close to tour bus stop #6 & #11 and Hallgrimskirkja.
I had booked a studio with a kitchenette for a week There is no microwave, toaster or saucepan, which US tourists may expect.
Breakfast is healthy with varied protein options.
Rooms are cleaned daily unless you dont want to.
24 hr front desk and very helpful. Everyone could speak English.
They have a fixed rate taxi service they can arrange for you for airport drop off / pick up.

This hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and entertainments. The breakfast was good, but they didn't offer any hot food. You could make cold cut sandwiches, have pastry, cheese, boiled eggs, etc. We had a one-bedroom suite and there was plenty of room for our one week stay.

Here are the things we didn't like. Our suite had a balcony that was at street level next to a parking lot on the back of the building. We had no privacy and somewhat felt unsafe when the window was open. The only window in the suite was the one by the balcony and we needed to keep the curtains open to get some daylight. We asked for a queen bed, and they moved two single beds next to each other, and the edges of the beds were hard, and we had to stay in the middle. We had two blankets designed for single beds and not one big one for a queen bed. The furniture was old and ran down and the couch did not look clean.

There were virtually no amenities. The shower had shampoo, but it was the same soap used for hand wash in the sink. There were no conditioners or lotions. This was our first time to visit Iceland and perhaps that's the standard in this country.

However, the location and staff made the stay acceptable. Next time I will try to find another hotel on the same street, hoping they have better accommodations.

The hotel was easy to find and they upgraded me to an apartment rather than a single room. The breakfast was lovely and a great advantage for this location because visiting Iceland can be expensive, so having breakfast included was a fabulous perk. I rented a car so I needed to park, but they did not have any availability on site so they gave me good advice for street parking as well as a nearby garage that I could easily pay with an app. It was the perfect place to stay downtown because it was close to everything and very walkable. If I get back to Reykjavik, I would absolutely stay again.

This hotel was in an amazing location. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and the breakfast spread was good, great for fuelling up in the morning with a nice selection of items from pastries to cereal & yogurts.

The room was a bit frustrating as we booked a double bed and ended up with a twin room, and although they were pushed together, the gap between them meant my partner and I couldn’t sleep, cuddle etc. i would’ve preferred just a double bed as anticipated getting on our booking. The room also didn’t have enough outlets, or were in very inconvenient positions, and the safe in the room had no batteries so we couldn’t leave any belongings locked away.

The room also had a bit of a smell, but can only anticipate that it was due to the sulphur caused by the hot water etc.

Overall, great stay. Comfy beds, amazing location, and liked the setup of the place. Would stay here again.

We arrived earlier than check in time and our room was ready which was brilliant. Not only that we got upgraded to an apartment for no extra fee! The apartment had a spacious and clean bathroom with hair and body wash provided. The kitchen had all the utensils you could think of. The room was clean and the beds were ridiculously comfortable.
Breakfast in the morning was our of this world!
Juice, tea and coffee, pastries, cheese & ham with some salad too. Plus a yoghurt and cereal bar with nuts and honey etc. Absolutely brilliant.
The breakfast sitting area was quite small for all the guests (maybe a suggestion for the staff to sit guests at tables instead? It looked like 1 person was taking a table for 4 at times).

All that said, 100% recommend to stay as a stop in Reykjavik. If I could give 10 start I would. Staff were very helpful and welcoming at all times.
Brilliant all round!

Certainly I have stayed in some pretty seedy Hotels around the world during my lifetime. On a scale of 1-10 Hotel Fron rates as a 6 in my opinion.

The Hotel has sadly become a little “Old and Tired” and whilst clean and fairly comfortable, overall the only great thing is it’s convenient location and it’s budget rates.

The continental cold style Breakfast provided by the independent restaurant next door to the hotels guests, was fine enough with cold sliced commercial style meats and cheese slices etc

The coffee however was dispensed from press down vacuum style coffee jugs and I think just a quality instant coffee.

There was a small selection of fresh fruit, muesli a toaster etc.

Again on a scale of 1-10 a 7 at best.

Sadly. the charisma of one of the receptionists was like that of an Icelandic codfish. He clearly did not like interaction with any member of the general public. He is in the wrong job I think.

Returning to the rooms. “Very Basic” and the tiny bathroom only had Body gel dispensers,towels and a hair dryer. Nothing else what so ever.

Our room looked out to a back street. Our room had no net curtains so all of the neighboring properties could see into our room when our curtains were open.

The said was true of our being able to look into some of the neighboring buildings windows too.

Whilst sleeping in our bed, a wooden framed canvas picture crashed down onto our beds headboard and jammed itself between the headboard and the wall.

I started out by booking the room for an extra night ahead of our actual scheduled arrival. We were scheduled to land at Reykjavik at 6:00 am of Saturday, so I booked as if we were staying Friday night as well to allow us immediate access to the room. The extra night was confirmed and ready for us when we did get there. We were given a room in a separate building in the back. The room was small, but very clean and nice and warm. This was all we needed, as except for sleeping we were never in the room. There is a complimentary breakfast every morning from 6:30 to 10:00 which is a huge perk as we were leaving very early every morning for our excursions. The hotel is located directly on the main shopping street and is a perfect location for exploring with many of the main attractions within walking distance. If you are booking tours, specify bus stop 6 as it is much closer to Hotel Fron than the tour company default of #14. Overall I highly recommend Hotel Fron and would stay there again if I return to Iceland.
