Wow! Wow! We arrived as a group of four, expecting a small but well located room for our last days in Reykjavik. The folks at the desk, without any debate, thoughtfully put us in one of the larger available apartments. They were responsive and super friendly. And it’s smack in the heart of Rekyavik!

It was excellent choice! Right in the heart of the city, walkable to everywhere! Enough space for 3 people (1 bedroom with big bed and another room with pull sofa) and price is per room, not additional charge for 3d person/per night like other hotels in this area. Also good breakfast.

Good location in the city centre, however it was easy to hear other people in the middle of the night so bring earplugs.

Check in was very efficient. We stayed for 4 nights in a 1 bedroom apartment on the 4th floor. The kitchinette provided a microwave, kettle, coffee maker and fridge but we didn’t have a stove top as shown in some images. The hotel is conveniently located in the city centre so very easy to get to all of the main attractions. The only downside to this was that on most nights you can hear loud music from the bars, on the first evening this went on till 3am and then at 6am the street cleaners start work. The breakfast was good and provided a good variety. Overall the hotel was a good choice, it was clean, convenient and provided a good service.

This location was perfect for our stay! We had a studio and it was nice to have a fridge and microwave. It is great to have no traffic noise! No cars allowed on this street and Rainbow Rd behind it. Plenty of shops and restaurants. Bus stop 700 ft from hotel. Uphill with your luggage on arrival. Breakfast is average but appreciated as food is very expensive in Iceland. Markets across the street open 24/7. Reviews said it is noisy from local bars and this is true. I use white noise app so it was ok. Overall great stay due to location.

We stayed in a lovely apartment at Hotel Fron. It was very specious and clean. The location was perfect. Our only complaint was street noise (so many cars blaring loud music until at least midnight) and a dumpster out one of our windows. When the trash was picked up, you could really smell the garbage which wasn’t pleasant. If you keep windows closed (we were hot so kept ours open at night) these probably wouldn’t be an issue.

Friendly and helpful staff. We ran into some trouble with our luggage and travel documents. The gentleman working the overnight shift on Nov 16-17 went over and beyond to help me make some calls to ensure we have the proper solution. Thank you, I really appreciate the help to reassure a stressed out traveller.

The apartment was big but the shower was tiny. The sink in bathroom was super tiny and you need the strength of a weight lifter to turn on the water. The breakfast was wonderful and the staff accommodating.

This was a nice little place for our first day in Iceland. It is centrally located to the heart of the city. The only thing to be aware of is that the hotel is on a street that is open only to walkers. Parking is scarce and the less expensive parking is quite a walk. The room was nice and so was the breakfast. I would stay here again.

Water smelled like sulfur in shower & faucets but aside from that - adorable accommodations, VERY friendly staff, amazing location right in the heart of downtown Reykjavik! Parking in the area comes at a premium and isn’t free with your stay (due to very limited spaces), but was worth paying the extra $13 or so for. Overall - definitely recommend and would stay there again!

Fantastic location. Not far from Bus Stop 6 so luggage not too much of problem. Very friendly & helpful staff in Reception. 101 was a quiet room in the annexe at the rear of the hotel entrance. The only noise I heard was from the room above when I assume they had an early morning departure. Definitely recommend this hotel- in fact, I’m happy to be returning in 10 days

Perfect stay!
Our room was small but had great views of the city! Our room was comfy and clean. The hotel was in the perfect location for us to explore the city! Breakfast included in the morning was a nice variety of types of food. Concierge were friendly and helpful and willing to hold our luggage after we checked out so we could explore the city more before we left.

Overall I had a great experience at this hotel. The only real issue (which wasn't really an issue) is that my queen bed was really two twins pushed together. Otherwise the location is amazing, the staff were amazing, and the overall property is very well maintained. Great place to spend a couple nights in!

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Fron. The only reason I could not give it five stars has nothing to do with the hotel itself. The area has a lot of wonderful restaurants and shops, which stay open late. The bars begin playing very loud music at 10 pm and continue until 4 am every night except Monday nights. I was okay because I had a box fan white noise on my phone to help with the noise but somebody unaware and unprepared would have difficulty sleeping. Everything else about this hotel is fantastic - the location, the staff, the breakfast, the accommodations.

The location is great and the service is very good. Room is small but comfortable. Cleanliness was ok. They did not have any parking, but description had said there was limited parking. Finding parking nearby is very difficult. Above a bar that is very loud all night long till late in am. It sounded like I was in the bar due to poor insulation. Need to be very sound sleeper.
