This was our 2nd stay at this hotel. It is very conveniently located, within walking distance of the Old Harbor and the shops and restaurants on Laugavegur. Our room was very comfortable, and had 2 large windows to help adjust the temperature. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We opted for breakfast, which was delicious and had many options

Excellent stay at Fosshotel Baron! Perfectly located, with excursion buses picking up right outside and many attractions and restaurants within walking distance. The staff was friendly and provided outstanding customer service. We were so grateful that since our room was already available, they kindly let us check in earlier after a long flight, it made such a difference. Highly recommend this hotel for both comfort and convenience!

The reason I am giving this hotel 4 stars is the bathroom. The bathroom is small, the sink is a pedestal sink no room for 2 peoples toiletries and it has a small glass shelf over the sink. Also not enough hooks to hang clothes or towels. The shower is small with curtain so water comes out and floods the floor. The rest of the room is ok. The hotel is clean and provides breakfast. Breakfast selection is average. The people at the front desk are very nice. The hotel is located within walking distance of various bus stops for tour buses. Also walking distance to various restaurants and shopping. Everything was good with the exception of the bathroom.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The room and property could use some updating. Beds were not the most comfortable. Couch was rather old, floor was dirty/not mopped. Toilet was old and American style, hair dryer so old it could only run 20 seconds at a time before overheating and shutting off. Only instant coffee in the room. Would be nice if breakfast was included. Appreciated the 12:00 check out time.

WiFi did not work, and for the Fosshotel brand, this one is the most disappointing we have been at. Extremely costly paid parking, terrible Wi/Fi, and albeit some stay were so kind, no one wanted to be there… breakfast buffet was okay, but nothing to pay that much for.

Nice hotel close to the waterfront. Walkable to many sites and restaurants. Friendly staff. We stayed 3 days, went north and then stayed 3 more days. Rooms were a nice size. The first room was at the back. We couldn’t leave the window open as there was a really loud fan going. Second room was at front. Was quieter. We still slept well in both instances.
