“This hotel's central location, near the main shopping street and bus stops, makes it a practical base for exploring the city and surrounding areas; rooms are modern and well-equipped, though some may find the lighting and storage a minor inconvenience. I see it as a solid choice for travelers who prioritize location and functionality.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Fosshotel Reykjavik from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Fosshotel Reykjavik enjoys a convenient location, being close to bus stop 12 for easy tour access and airport transfers; some found the location a comfortable walk to the waterfront, Viking ship sculpture, and the Harpa Music Hall. Guests often compliment the breakfast buffet with its plentiful choices. The modern bathrooms, with underfloor heating in some rooms, receive particular praise, though a few guests have noted street noise when windows are open due to the lack of air conditioning.

breakfast buffet heated floors no view distant location
The breakfast buffet had a lot of choices. i liked the heated floors in the bathroom. That was very nice. the bus stop outside the hotel was convenient for tours. i could easily get around without any trouble.
My room had no view. i only saw other rooms from my window. the location was a bit further from the main attractions than i would have preferred. I had a 15-20 minute walk to the city center.

central location vegan items polite staff
The hotel's central location was a big advantage for exploring. the breakfast included vegan items, which suited my diet. i was able to leave my luggage early. This made my arrival much easier. the front desk staff members were polite and helpful.
I was disappointed by the absence of on-site laundry facilities. This was inconvenient. i expected this service from a hotel with this rating.

I found the location convenient. It was near bus stops and within walking distance to attractions. The breakfast had many choices, including pastries and hot items. The staff helped me book bus transfers to the Blue Lagoon and offered advice on local transportation.
The gym only had one treadmill. I wish it had more equipment for a hotel of this size.
