Perfect stay, perfect location
Really nice hotel, with amazing location, very central. I came at 11.30 and wanted to drop my luggage but they said my room was ready and allowed me to check-in, very nice and appreciated. Room is clean, with all necessary amenities. All perfect for my stay. Also good value for Iceland's standard.

Very pleased with this hotel in Reykjavik.
We stayed in the studio and it was spacious with a beautiful bathroom. The kitchen area was also large and homey. Friendly staff, we wished we had booked it for several days! Great central location.

Good Stay !
Hotel Fron had everything we needed for our last night in Reykjavik. We parked our rental car in a parking structure which was about three blocks away . The hotel is in a fun and exciting area , so when we went out to get dinner , there were good choices within two blocks . We ate at a gastropub which was expensive but good , had gelato , and visited the Big Lebowski bar. Breakfast at Fron was okay - nothing amazing … but still it was a very good hotel for what we needed .

The room was very spacious and perfect setup for a family. The kitchenette was helpful to have. The shower was tiny, but typical for Iceland. Excellent location and the staff was very helpful and kind.

good location but...
Good location, quiet, luggage storage got full and I needed to find mine bag through many, many others. The staff was busy at the front desk.
The elevator was not working in the morning which left me to lug bags down tight flight of stairs.

Perfect location downtown Reykjavik. Really close to museums, restaurants and nightlife. A bit of a walk from the air shuttle bus main station (hotel service is available).
Breakfast was included. No eggs, but basic ham and cheese on toast, cereals/yoghurt and some fruit and one choice of pastry. Good coffee.
