Our stay in Iceland
The only reason I wouldn’t stay here again Parking. They have no parking for guest until after 9 pm and it cost you more than trying to park on the street. We had to constant run and feed a meter until we learned how to do it from our phone. Our last night there we had to park 1.7 miles away it was the only thing available .So at 3am we were dragging our luggage through the city so we could drive to the airport. The room was comfortable and clean, the staff were direct, business like not super friendly I don’t recall seeing any of the desk staff ever smile.The always seemed preoccupied and unavailable so we in turn ask others we ask others in shops for recommendations for dining etc.

Great stay in central Reykjavik
We booked a 2 bedroom apartment but actually had 3 bedrooms plus a living space with dining table, kitchen area & lounge space. Beds were quite soft but comfortable. Being central and on a Friday evening there was some noise from the bar across the street. We booked a parking space to the rear of the hotel (there are only 5!) But worth it for the convenience. Breakfast was included which was a good mix of cold continental items. Overall a pleasant stay and would happily return.

Welcome and check-in at the reception was a bit lose… but the worse part was to find very dirty sheets in the couch foldable bed!! Had to go back to the reception to get a clean sheet and make the bed myself. Also the evening/night was very noise on our floor with doors slamming and people talking very loud in the commons. Not a good experience overall.

The stay was decent, the pictures are a tiny bit misleading. And the shower water and cover water smelled so bad that we decided not to shower. We literally could not take the smell as it filled the room

Great great great hotel. A true gem with a wonderful location 2 blocks to the sun voyager on the water and 3 blocks to the cathedral, and right on the main shopping street, Laugavegur. Good breakfast too and if you can get room facing the back courtyard, its very quiet! Our 3rd floor unit was spacious and clean, and contained good storage. Bed, linens, and pillows were excellent. Will definitely use Fron as a base for future Iceland trips.

The good - excellent location, good breakfast, very good price. The not so good - very soft mattress, almost like a water bed, no good if you suffer with back problems. Overall a good VFM hotel.
