Liked: Staff & service
On first impressions, the reception looked lovely and the staff were great but it was let down by the small minimal bedroom, basic bathroom and drafty velux windows which made the bedroom cold. The bed sheet was from the 80s (Terry towelling) which was uncomfortable. On the plus side, the pillows were lovely. Was disappointed and not worth the money 😞

The staff was very kind and allowed us to check in early for a fee. Instead of paying for their parking we parked down the street in a garage and on the street which ended up being very very cheap. The room was big and I would stay again.

Super noisy during the night and morning. It was hard to get good sleep. Would not be staying here again. The rooms had no microwaves and no access to a public one. The kettle for tea and coffee was dirty. There are definitely better option than this.

This was a pleasant but ordinary place. The staff and the breakfasts were fine. The room was adequate but I could have done without the picture on the wall of some obscure old fashioned guy staring down at me. But my main complaint is the I requested an early morning alarm call. It never happened. Luckily I was awake but I could have missed my flight. Not good.

The carpet in the hotel room was very dirty. The shower facility was the worst I have experienced in a hotel. Specifically, the area for shower was extremely small with the shower curtain kept sticking on the skin while taking a shower.

FossHotel Baron is a Good Choice!!!
I made a good choice considering it was my first trip to Iceland and I picked it from online choices based on reviews. I was not disappointed. Before I arrived, staff from the hotel assisted me in arranging my transfer from the airport to the hotel and my tours during my visit. Then the hotel staff on site helped me complete my currency exchange and book my transfer back to the airport.

The room was very spacious, albeit a bit dated and there was a stain on the carpet by the door. The hotel is very conveniently located near the main street with a lot of shops, bars and restaurants, but far enough from the street that there wasn't any excessive noise on Friday or Saturday night.

Not a fan of this hotel or the staff. Parking was absolutely horrible. The site said they have parking. It is extremely limited. There were 4 parking spots in P3 and the rest was unavailable due to construction. I would say the only thing I enjoyed was the location.
