Exceptional stay in Iceland.
Arrived early in AM and it was cold. They gave me a room early and was very welcoming. Ilise was very accommodating. The room was really nice, warm and the breakfast was amazing Great location right in the heart of town, easy walking to all sights.

Our stay in Iceland
The only reason I wouldn’t stay here again Parking. They have no parking for guest until after 9 pm and it cost you more than trying to park on the street. We had to constant run and feed a meter until we learned how to do it from our phone. Our last night there we had to park 1.7 miles away it was the only thing available .So at 3am we were dragging our luggage through the city so we could drive to the airport.
The room was comfortable and clean, the staff were direct, business like not super friendly I don’t recall seeing any of the desk staff ever smile.The always seemed preoccupied and unavailable so we in turn ask others we ask others in shops for recommendations for dining etc.

Great stay in central Reykjavik
We booked a 2 bedroom apartment but actually had 3 bedrooms plus a living space with dining table, kitchen area & lounge space. Beds were quite soft but comfortable. Being central and on a Friday evening there was some noise from the bar across the street. We booked a parking space to the rear of the hotel (there are only 5!) But worth it for the convenience. Breakfast was included which was a good mix of cold continental items. Overall a pleasant stay and would happily return.

The good - excellent location, good breakfast, very good price.
The not so good - very soft mattress, almost like a water bed, no good if you suffer with back problems.
Overall a good VFM hotel.

Great end to our trip.
Great location. We had an apartment that was spacious and well equipped. Plenty warm being on the third floor, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was good. Didn’t use their parking but wound up in a P3 zone that was close walking and inexpensive. No issues leaving the car on the street for a couple days.

Great location
The hotel is located in a prime location. Hotel has parking but we were not allowed to use it. The two bedroom apartment we had was spacious with high end finishes and nicely decorated. The dishes were dirty so we had to clean them before using. The balcony was huge expanding the entire length of our apartment. The breakfast was very good. Overall, we were very happy and would stay here again.

Perfect Location + Friendly
Hotel Fron was quick and accomodating. Location is perfect and their breakfast is very impressive. Our only complaint was every noice from the courtyard permeated our window and woke us up.

Very nice and clean. Staff was great. Breakfast had good variety. Just the lack of parking. Apparently I had to reserve parking but wasn’t notified of such upon reserving room.

Great location in city center. Very comfortable room with small kitchen. We could hear some noise from other rooms but didn’t bother us. We were allowed to check in early which was super helpful after red eye flight. Super nice staff.

The location is great if you want to be close to shops and bars / restaurants! However, there was zero parking near the hotel which would have been nice to know before we arrived. The desk clerk gave us a QR code to try to find a parking spot which was very confusing and he really was no help.
The shower didn’t drain and we had 4 people needing a shower so we were frustrated.

The hotel is wonderfully located. Information on parking is poor and we need to drive around the centre to find a space to leave the car overnight. Unfortunately our studio apartment had an entrance from the outside common area with windows on that space which made it impossible to keep the curtains open. None of this is mentioned on the website and if it was I would have made different choice. It was our last night in Iceland and unfortunately not the best one. We will definitely come back again but not to this hotel.

Right near the rainbow road this property has excellent access to everything you might need. The only complaint I have is that there are no laundry facilities on site, there is a laundromat nearby though so this is a minor inconvenience. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was good and the location was excellent.
