I started out by booking the room for an extra night ahead of our actual scheduled arrival. We were scheduled to land at Reykjavik at 6:00 am of Saturday, so I booked as if we were staying Friday night as well to allow us immediate access to the room. The extra night was confirmed and ready for us when we did get there. We were given a room in a separate building in the back. The room was small, but very clean and nice and warm. This was all we needed, as except for sleeping we were never in the room. There is a complimentary breakfast every morning from 6:30 to 10:00 which is a huge perk as we were leaving very early every morning for our excursions. The hotel is located directly on the main shopping street and is a perfect location for exploring with many of the main attractions within walking distance. If you are booking tours, specify bus stop 6 as it is much closer to Hotel Fron than the tour company default of #14. Overall I highly recommend Hotel Fron and would stay there again if I return to Iceland.

Excellent location. Spacious room. Elevator. My only complaint is that parking is not guaranteed. They need to modify their expedia listing to explain that it's first come, first serve. After a long journey, it is frustrating to receive surprises like that. We searched for street parking and paid for it.

Great hotel in the center of Reykjavik! It was right on one of the main entertainment strips, but sat back in so it was nice and quiet. We were steps away from restaurants and dining and just a few doors down from our favorite night time entertainment at the Bookstore Bar!

Stayed here for one night in early December. It is an ideal location for a tourist. Right in the heart of Reykjavik. Walk to everything "touristy." They included a breakfast in a nice attached restaurant/bar. Very convenient and good quality. There are multiple buildings comprising this hotel. Ours was attached at the back, so you go outside and walk to a separate entrance nearby. You can access this building without going thru the lobby. The room was nice - we had a one bedroom and an attached living space, a sleeper sofa with a small kitchen. Thats worked well for us. All in all, a lot to like about this property. I'd give it 4.5 stars. The staff and lobby was not as polished as the Hotel Alda, down the street, but on nearly equal footing overall.

Hotel was in the perfect location, could walk to everything! Good location for catching tour buses too! Clean, friendly and lovely hotel. Very laid back approach and even loaned me a travel plug as I brought the wrong one!! Free of charge too! Breakfast was continental style and plenty of choice, perfect to set you up for the day. Will definitely stay here again!
