I've been to beautiful Iceland a few times over the years. The first time (in 2001) I could only afford the Salvation Army, that's how expensive Reykjavik was back then. Thankfully prices for hotels have fallen dramatically recently due to the Icelandic currency devaluation. Even taking this into account, the Fron Hotel represents very good value for money. It could... More

This a very nice hotel right on the main shopping street in Reykjavik. It is seconds/minutes away from shops, restaurants and cafes. I originally had a room in the ground floor, I prefer to sleep upstairs and asked to be moved and Hotel Fron kindly obliged. Both rooms were very clean and very spacious with a kitchenette and good sized... More

Stayed here in mid April 2013. The price was excellent, and the room was large, clean and very well equipped, with everything needed if we wanted to go self catering. The hotel was centrally located, with most of the city centre sights within 10 minutes walk, and the main Greyline coach station only 5 minutes downhill. The only downside is... More

Loved this hotel - helpful and friendly staff; perfect location for sightseeing and nightlife; really nice room. We had a double room at the front with extremely comfortable bed, separate sitting area/ tv / coffee table and a kitchenette with fridge and hob and ensuite shower /wc. There was plenty of space for us to spread out in our room/... More

The hotel is in a excellent location to see the sights. We stayed in the studio apartment with the queen bed which is a lovely large room. The only thing it was lacking was a kettle so we used a saucepan to boil water. Sadly the weekend street noise kept me awake as I am a light sleeper. The hotel... More

Staying with. a group of Guys for an adventure trip. The Hotel is on the main shopping street, but the rooms are well insulated and quiet. The heavy curtains meant a solid sleep in a land of very little night time . Beds are great and the shower is excellent, better than some of the weak water types you can... More

I highly recommend this hotel. It is in a great location for sight-seeing and nightlife. Our room was comfortable and equipped with a desk and small kitchenette area that included a fridge. Private bathroom was small but adequate. Breakfast was included and was good. We arrived at 7am on our first day in Reykjavik, and even though that is usually... More

We chose this hotel for its central location and it was perfectly situated within comfortable walking distance of the main sights. We had a studio apartment which had a kitchenette with a fridge, a sofa, small dining table and chairs, TV, shower room and bedroom. We didn't cook anything but the fridge was useful for chilling cans of beer and... More

It's our first time to visit Reykjavik and we stayed in Hotel Fron where it's in good location, walking distance to many sites, shops and restaurant. We arrived on 18 April. the lady and the man looked so serious didn't find them welcoming. We were given Room 409 initially but we found it small, especially the toilet looks dark, so... More

Recently enjoyed a truly delightful first time visit to Reykjavik where we stayed for 8 nights at the Hotel Fron which is centrally located on Laugavegur and convenient, in walking distance, to many of the city's attractions. Our room - facing the back - was comfortable, clean and very "good" value. The front desk staff, especially an enthusiastic night time... More
