We stayed for four nights in this hotel. We were made to feel very welcome. The staff were attentive and helpful at all times, the breakfasts great and the rooms had a wonderful view over the sea. The Fosshotel Baron is at a central location, with easy access to the shops, the main restaurants and cafes in the capital. The... more

We have just returned from 5 nights at this hotel. We would definitely recommend it due to its great location, helpful and efficient service, delicious breakfast and comfortable rooms. We were in one of the classic style rooms. Our room was small but adequately sized and very warm. The bed was probably the most comfortable that I have ever slept... more

Booked this as part of a discount package deal. Excellent location, just a block down from Laugavegur, and nice sea views (if you're on the right side). But fairly basic; very spartan bedlinen (thin quilt, slightly-too-small undersheet, pillow; that's it); no mini-bar or hot drink facilities in the room or indeed anywhere in the hotel (except when the bar /... more

Just returned from our first trip to Iceland, booked through Icelandair. Chose this hotel as it included breakfast. One of the best aspects of the hotel is its location: the sea/harbour front is about 100m in front of the hotel and the main shopping street is about 150m behind the hotel. Many of the main attractions of the city centre... more

Some previous reviewers criticised the service but we had no complaints and found staff to be very friendly and helpful. The room was clean, warm and beds very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. OK no hot food but plenty of cereals, fruit, breads,... more

Like many others we stayed here as part of an Iceland Air package. We did not experience any of the problems others have identified. The room was clean adequately furnished and the bed comfortable. The lack of a view was of no concern as we were out all the time! Breakfast was plentiful and sufficient choice to meet most demands.... more

We stayed at the Fosshotel Baron for five days in October. Our room was clean and well-equipped, the bathroom was old but functional-- we didn't have the problem some reviewers mentioned with the shower water leaking out onto the floor, as long as we kept the shower curtain well tucked in! Breakfast was plentiful and fairly nice, the ladies working... more
