Fosshotel Rauthara - A 3-star central Reykjavík hotel with free breakfast and historic brewery connections

Located in the heart of Norðurmýri district, this 85-room Reykjavík hotel stands three minutes from Laugavegur shopping street. Fosshotel Rauthara occupies a building that housed the city's first brewery, with rooms featuring historical memorabilia throughout. The property maintains 24-hour reception with multilingual staff, an internet corner, and a lobby sitting area. Guest rooms include satellite TV, electric kettles, and private bathrooms with shower facilities. A complimentary breakfast buffet serves hot and cold dishes in a modern dining room, while Raudara Restaurant offers traditional and contemporary Icelandic cuisine. The hotel sits 1640.4 ft from Reykjavik Art Museum Kjarvalsstadir and Sundhollin Public Baths. The Church of Hallgrimur stands less than 0.5 miles away, with downtown accessible via a 20-minute walk.

Pros

Historic brewery heritage preserved through memorabilia displays

Located in a quiet residential neighborhood while maintaining city access

Uncommon free parking availability for central location

Pet-friendly with designated dog areas

Cons

20-minute walk required to reach downtown attractions

40-minute drive to Blue Lagoon

“While slightly removed from the city's immediate bustle, the hotel provides a comfortable base for exploring Reykjavik, with its excellent breakfast standing out as a highlight. The rooms are practical, suited for short stays, and the staff is consistently helpful. In my opinion it's a solid choice for travelers who prioritize value and don't mind a bit of a walk to the main attractions.”
