The staff were so incredible! I landed really early in the morning way before check-in and they held my bag for me. I completely forgot that the charging outlets were different than north american chargers. The reception desk had a whole box of different adapters that savedddd me. Considering it was Easter weekend and everything was closed at that time, they made my trip so much easier. My flight was super late leaving and I still wanted to explore the city and they held my bag again! Incredible staff so wonderful!

Lovely stay, but the hotel is in need of modernisation. Staff were very friendly. The breakfast was delicious. Close to public transport and pick up bus stops. Shame the buses do not come up to the hotel anymore due to road restrictions. From the from of the hotel, you get a nice ocean view, sadly mine overlooked the carpark.

Room clean, but very basic with tea/coffee making facility only… no fridge. Shower rose terrible with minimal spray going in all directions. Basin only so nowhere to put anything in bathroom. Wasn’t disturbed by any noise coming from other rooms which was a plus. Public transport close, and easy walk into main part of Reykjavik.

The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. One suggestion is to take advantage of Hotels.com's breakfast offer if it's included as part of the stay. Prices in Iceland are very high, and breakfast on our own at the hotel was $30 a person. Breakfast was a typical hotel buffet.

Had a great stay at the Fosshotel Baron last week. The staff there are warm and welcoming and check in is quick and efficient. The facility is clean, with seating areas and a restroom on the main floor. Breakfast included a wide variety of foods, and their breakfast box was great! As an Expedia VIP, I got access to free welcome drinks which was a nice surprise. The room I was in was small but I knew that going into the trip. It made good use of the space though, and the location couldn't be beat. Would recommend a stay here for anyone looking to explore Reyjkavik!

Very Pleasant Stay

Lovely room, nice decor and furniture and a decent size. Wifi was very good. Kettle in the room but there was a sign saying no cooking so I presume that means you can't use the kettle for making noodles. There is a grocery shop just behind the hotel which was very convenient. In front of the hotel is the seafront which was very nice.

Fosshotel Baron was in a great location in Reykjavik. Only one road off the water, the semi-obstructed view reminded us that we were on an island every morning. From the hotel, we were within easy walking distance (5-10 minutes) of dozens of restaurants and as many shops. A twenty minute walk takes you to Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Center and five more minutes takes you to city center with even more restaurants and shops.So many sites within walking distance. The hotel has a good warm breakfast with plenty of options, the rooms are clean, and the beds are comfortable.

Tired hotel. Matress is sagging and needs replacement. Shower tray damaged and tiny, so difficult to shower normally without the shower curtain not sticking to you.... yes a shower curtain, no basic enclosure. Expensive for what it is.

This property is alright for a quick 1 or 2 night stay. It seems like an older building that has no special features. The bathroom is quite small and the shower is tiny (If you are any more than 5.5 you will be cramped!). However, the beds are comfortable and the room felt safe and secure. The staff are very friendly, helpful and professional. The breakfast buffet is very good, with lots of options (keep in mind, the breakfast is an extra charge). Also only a block or two from several restaurant options.

The hotel was clean with basic amenities. It was good value for the price in Iceland. Check in and check out was easy. They had onsite parking which we found a bit confusing to use as it is a third party operator. The buffet breakfast was amazing definitely worth adding onto your trip given the cost of food in Iceland.

The desk staff were fantastic, consistently friendly and helpful. The mattress was a little too firm for my tastes - I like them fairly firm, but not that much. There was a good number of pillows, of different thickness and firmness. There was hair clogged in the shower drain when I arrived, leading the tray to drain slowly and fill with water. There is a small kettle in the room, but the sink is very shallow and the kettle won't fit in it - the only way to get water into the kettle was to fill a glass with water and then pour that into the kettle several times over.
