What guests think

Across many reviews, Hotel Frón stands out for its unbeatable central location on Reykjavík’s main pedestrian street, generally clean, comfortable rooms (including some spacious apartments), and a complimentary continental breakfast that most guests find convenient and good value.

Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, though a number of reviewers report impersonal or unresponsive interactions. Common downsides include late‑night street noise, limited on‑site parking that often requires advance reservation, and recurring hot‑water sulphur odor alongside occasional shower pressure or temperature issues. Expect a straightforward base that suits travelers who value walkability over amenities.

Although the hotel does have a lift the room we were put in did not and it was difficult taking a heavier suitcase up the hill and stairs to the room just double check. It’s a very suitable hotel though not five star but certainly nice and the restaurant dinner was quite good

The hotel itself was fine, but was not too happy after incorrect information given by a hotel staff member resulted in a $400 morning trying to get back to the airport. When I arrived, they were out if guest parking (fine), I then asked the reception attendant where i could park overnight and he gave me the address of a parking ramp nearby. He did not mention that you can’t get the car out until 7am despite having a code with the ramp and I had a flight the next morning at 7:30am. This resulted in a $200 taxi ride to the airport (yes, Iceland is insanely expensive) and another $200 fee for the rental company to go pick up the car. All of this could gave been avoided with some communication as it was not clear that once your car was in the garage you could not access it with your code between certain hours.

Hotel Fron was a great pick for staying downtown, the room was comfortable and it is in the middle of many restaurants, bars and shops, the church is just a short walk away. It still was quiet in the room. The free breakfast is a real plus (especially considering prices in Iceland) and the staff was very helpful. If you have a rental car, there is a parking garage two blocks away with good prices (the staff can give you the address).

Room, staff, and breakfast are good but parking is difficult. You can park free on street for free from 21:00 to 9:00 at night only before that you have to pay for parking, have y your Easrpark app ready!

The positives: Great location, decent sized rooms (including some multiple bedrooms suites). Negatives: Almost no facilities (there is a little bar we discovered near the small lobby), mediocre breakfast, rooms are pretty basic for the price….but then, everything is very expensive in Iceland. There is no parking other than on the street, which is free overnight but not cheap or easy to find during the day.

Wow! What an incredible location around all the shops and Rsinbiw street, the church and the lake where we walked a couple blocks to watch the northern lights reflect on the water! Hotel also has a restaurant along the street with amazing lamb soup, and your breakfast in there is included as well. Wonderful spread for breakfast. They also have parking right there, it’s tricky to find so contact the hotel!

We really enjoyed our stays here. Perfect location in the heart of downtown Reykjavik. The rooms were exceptional. The breakfast had plenty of options. The only drawback is there isn't designated parking, so you have to hoof your luggage from a pay for parking garage a little ways away. Don't think you can unload at the door either, because the street in front is for foot traffic only, and special vehicles.

The staff were courteous and in particular the fellow on the day I left was very helpful. The breakfast bread was truly great as well. Very fresh and filling. MMy lone concern that led to that rating was the state of the room. I wasn’t 100% confident the room had been changed over. I found a few different long hairs in the bed and a towel in a curious placement in the bathroom. It gave me the creeps and I found a way to sleep without moving. Obviously I should’ve spoken up about it, but I didn’t. It actually took me five days to open my case because I was creeped out in case something got in there.

The smell from the water was unbearable. We suggest to keep the bathroom door closed. If you have a candle or incense, try that. There were stains on the couch, along with a burn mark. The water pressure was the worst that we have ever seen. Strange, because the water pressure in the kitchen seemed fine, but the shower was just a trickle!!!

My family of four stayed at Hotel Fron for one night before heading back to the States after our Icelandic adventure. The two bedroom apartment with sitting area and small kitchen worked very well for us. The only reason I cannot give the hotel five stars is because of the horribly strong sulfur smell that comes from the bathroom (and the water). The odor overtakes the entire apartment after one shower.

The room was clean and good size. It feels like walking into IKEA, basic and austere. It’s interesting that the hot water comes directly from the volcanic hot springs. Therefore the hot water has a strong liver of sulphurs odour. The cold water comes from the mountain and we were able to wash off the odour. The hotel is situated in the middle of downtown across from a bar. So Friday and Saturday nights are a little bit noisy with bar goers and the thumping of the music.

Awesome stay for our family of four. We had a 2-room suite that had two twins in each room. Although we prefer a king bed for ourselves, the twins were perfect for the kids. The beds were really comfortable as well. The location was incredible with all the bars and restaurants within a block or two of the place.

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.
