Despite some initial room confusion, Hotel Fron in Reykjavik was in a lively central location perfect for exploring. The staff was helpful, though parking requests were mishandled by the manager. Remember to confirm all details and be prepared for noise from nearby bars. Overall, a convenient stay with a great breakfast option nearby.

Despite some initial confusion with the entrance location, my stay at Hotel Fron was fantastic. The central location near restaurants and shops was perfect, and the comfortable, spacious room in the studio annex made the stay enjoyable. The breakfast was basic but satisfying, and the discount at the restaurant was a pleasant surprise. I highly recommend this hotel for its convenient location and overall positive experience.

Loved how the hotel felt cozy and secure, tucked away from the street hustle; staff were super friendly, rooms were spacious with a little kitchenette, and primo spot for exploring the city. Chill rooftop terrace with city views, cute sauna to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Only bummer was the in-room TV only in Icelandic, no help on that, but overall, top-notch vibes and totally recommend-worthy! 🌟

A memorable highlight of our stay was the free breakfast buffet, which felt like stumbling upon a treasure trove of culinary delights every morning. The array of fresh and delicious options made waking up a joy, and we savored every bite as if embarking on a gastronomic adventure.
Street noise can be disruptive.

I chose this hotel for a business symposium due to its perfect location for business and leisure guests. The front desk staff was accommodating, the room was comfortable, and the breakfast was convenient.
The one service I missed for my work was a faster and more reliable Wi-Fi connection.

My stay at Hotel Fron was absolutely fantastic! I was in Reykjavik for a week-long vacation and the hotel was the perfect base for exploring the city. The location was superb, with easy access to bus stops, restaurants, grocery stores, and tourist attractions. The room itself was cozy and well-equipped, complete with comfortable beds, mini fridge, kettle, and a peaceful view away from the main street. The Scandinavian-style breakfast was a delightful start to each day, offering a wide range of delicious choices. The front desk staff were also quick to resolve any issues, like a problem with our key card. a superb experience.
Do recommend this hotel.

I recently stayed at a hotel in the heart of the city for a few days. The location was absolutely perfect, right in the walking and shopping area. I also loved how close it was to the Old Harbour area, with its many restaurants and shops along the way. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Plus, the breakfast each morning was fantastic, a great way to start the day.
I can recommend this hotel.

The location of this hotel is fantastic, right on the main shopping street of Reykjavik. You'll find plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops right on your doorstep. The rooms are very nice, not too small, and some even offer a nice view of the church. Plus, having a small kitchen in the room is a great addition. The staff at this hotel are friendly and helpful. They speak multiple languages, including English and Spanish, which is always a bonus for international travelers. The breakfast provided at this hotel is simple but good. You can enjoy a variety of tasty jams and there's even a lovely independent bakery just a few doors up the street where you can find more options.
All was great, no complaints whatsoever.

We loved the central location of the hotel, as it was down a little alleyway but still close to all the sights in the city, from the iconic church to the Harpa and the waterfront. The breakfast was fantastic, with a wide range of options to choose from. The staff were cute and offered us helpful tips for driving in the northern side. The cleanliness of the rooms and the hotel facilities were excellent.
Not obvious to find.

Located in the heart of the city, this hotel offers easy access to restaurants, bars, and public transportation. Guests can enjoy the convenience of being just a short walk away from popular landmarks and attractions. The rooms are clean, warm, and comfortable, providing a cozy retreat after a long day of exploring. Additionally, the staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant stay for guests.
One drawback of the hotel is the limited shelf space in the bathroom.

I really enjoyed my recent stay at a cozy apartment in a fantastic location. The apartment itself was comfortable and inviting, with a great bed for a good night's sleep. The staff, while not particularly friendly or helpful, didn't have much interaction with me. One small drawback was the lack of a kettle for making tea, but luckily I brought my own travel kettle. I was happy with my stay and would recommend this hotel.

During our stay, we were lucky to have found an amazing hotel in the heart of a lively shopping street. The buzzing atmosphere was amazing, yet we still were not disturbed by any noise. It was so close to everything, and the perfect centre for exploring the city. The rooms were spacious and very well decorated, complete with a small kitchenette to enhance our stay. Breakfast was included, which was great, and there was a supermarket nearby for anything extra we needed.
There was a lack of food provided to enhance the already well-equipped kitchenette.

I always stay here. First time, they helped me find parking. It suits me perfectly with Wi-Fi, 24-hour reception, bar, breakfast, and no smoking. I'm coming back for New Year.

During my Christmas stay, I loved the cozy and warm rooms at this hotel. They werenice and neat, providing the perfect retreat after a long day exploring the city. The location was also fantastic, situated in the heart of the shopping district and within walking distance to many restaurants and attractions. the staff were friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any questions or requests.
There were a few aspects of my stay that I didn't particularly enjoy. the rooms were quite dark during the daytime, as the windows were not large enough to let in much natural light.
