Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was very spacious, albeit a bit dated and there was a stain on the carpet by the door. The hotel is very conveniently located near the main street with a lot of shops, bars and restaurants, but far enough from the street that there wasn't any excessive noise on Friday or Saturday night.

The room was both stylish and cozy, the location was convenient to restaurants, a small supermarket, buses, and the harbor front walking path. The breakfast buffet was phenomenal, better than anything I’ve seen in US hotels, and the staff went out of their way to be helpful.

Not a fan of this hotel or the staff. Parking was absolutely horrible. The site said they have parking. It is extremely limited. There were 4 parking spots in P3 and the rest was unavailable due to construction. I would say the only thing I enjoyed was the location.

Location is excellent. Near shopping, restaurants, transportation, and waterfront. Breakfast is a highlight with broad spectrum of offerings…meats, cheeses, juices, coffees, pastries, fruits, cereals, etc. The skyr was particularly good. The room is clean, efficient and very comfortable. Cleaning is at the occupants option when needed. Pleasant staff.

Fosshotel Baron - A Reykjavik Bargain
Fosshotel Baron is fine for a reasonably priced stay in Reykjavik. It was clean, the staff was pleasant and helpful. They do not have a restaurant but do serve (self service) a good hot and cold breakfast. They are not far from restaurants - within less than 15 minute walk. The fancier restaurants are farther downtown. My room was very simple. There is a flat-screen tv, coffee maker and a hair dryer. The bathroom was interesting - supplied with a squeegee which I wondered about at first. The shower is not separated and the floor wasn't slanted toward the drain so nearly half the bathroom floor gets wet. Really wet.They need to put some kind of short barrier in. For a traveler like myself who doesn't require a great deal of amenities, the hotel was fine. I do wish they had a restaurant.

This hotel is definitely no frills. The breakfast was perfect for a hotel breakfast buffet. There were plenty of choices to satisfy all tastes. The location is currently surrounded by construction which may deter some visitors. It was walkable to the main shopping district and tourist attractions. The bed was comfortable. Lots of space to store clothing and suitcases. There were several outlets in the room to charge and use my devices. The facilities are old and dated but sufficient for our 4 night stay. The shower was quite the experience! It was tiny and hard to get our of the shower stream to lather up. It literally flooded the whole bathroom floor until I figured out to only pull the shower current over one side and leave the side closest to the floor drain open.
