This was a very nice hotel but I must warn every one that the parking situation was horrible. No play to park unless you want to park in a City garage right next to it and get raped. Good luck trying to figure out how to pay.

Overall excellent - the one big minus...the fitness facility. Like many hotels: clearly an afterthought. Tucked away in a dark corner in the basement. The elliptical was rickety and clearly needed service. It was unfortunate as I will not stay there again because of this one deficiency.

The Good: Clean & Comfortable Room. Good location for walking. The Bad: The Guest Parking is Not Really Guest Parking -- it is paid on-street parking or paid city parking in a garage attached to the hotel (but not affiliated with the hotel). The front desk staff gave conflicting and incorrect info about how to use and pay for the parking garage. Frustrating. Check in and check out was slow. Hard to spot from street level. Drove around the block twice before spotting the door.

Stayed 5 nights would have left after one but had prepaid. Sound from room to room was ABSOLUTELY the worst. 4 nights of intermittent sleep.. last night one good one. Given the cost totally unacceptable. complained several times, hotel was full first three days so couldn’t change rooms then person above checked out..I thought maybe they were just noisy. NOPE next person just as noisy heavy foot fall, moving stuff etc. 12:45-1:30AM crazy noise. Would never stay here again. Also this is their “flagship” Fosshotel. Unbeliable. Everything else was actually great, staff, breakfast, housekeeping.

For a big hotel in Iceland, they should have better options for blackout curtains. I asked if the curtains could be replaced or even doubled as there was another track and was told it couldn’t be. The room was too bright making it difficult to get rest if you’re a person who is affected by the brightness. The phone all took 4 days to get fixed for a 5 day trip.

Stayed at the Foss Hotel Reyakjavik for three nights and had an excellent experience. It was comfortable, clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. We had an issue with no heat in the room when we first checked in and they immediately moved us to another room. The staff is very professional and friendly and answered all our questions including parking tips that told us where to park for the best possible rates. Loved Iceland and can't wait to return- would definitely come back to this hotel in a minute.

The whole team at Fosshotel were honestly a blessing to my trip in Iceland. They were on call to assist with all my requirements months in advance, even until my last checkout at the hotel. The staff members are so lovely and treat you very professionally but also like good friends. I am so grateful to the team for making this trip so so special and really going the extra mile for some of the requirements I had. The facilities are very good, the hotel is in the perfect location and easy to get to. The rooms are well kept, clean and spacious. I have been to some amazing hotels all around the world however nothing can compare to quality service and that is exactly what this hotel delivers. I will forever be grateful and most definitely be returning to Iceland, where I will be staying at this hotel again! Thank you all so much.

Modern, clean property. Rooms are spacious by European standards. Many heating features- can use the automatic window to vent the room. Only issues- depending on which side of the hotel you are on, you may hear tour buses unloading late (past 9pm). Early check in wasn’t offered/available for me- though it was offered to the guests ahead of me. I would have appreciated if- like other hotels- they texted when the room was ready. Some staff were abrasive to me. It’s adjacent to bus stop 12 if you are taking the flybus+.

Property is a few streets over from the main shopping/restaurant area. It took us10min walk to get to this area but was very easy safe and quiet. Pickup for tours was right outside hotel (bus stop 12), but required a change at the main bus terminal if you are coming/going to airport with one of the airport shuttles- this is likely the case with most hotels. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Loved the location of this property, it was not right in the centre but centrally located enough to be quiet. Very walkable to centre which shops, supermarkets and restaurants nearby. The best thing about the location is that it is right next to Bus Stop 12 which is the central meeting point for all Tour buses and also convenient for airport pick up/drop off. The Beer Garden hotel bar is a cool place to hang out. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms are Scandi style functional with minimum fuss. Coffee machine and pods in the room. They were very responsive to emails before my arrival as I wanted to arrange for a cake for my husband’s bday when we arrived. Room cleaning during stay needs to be arranged beforehand as it does not take place unless requested. Reception can help you book tours and bus transfers. Will recommend this hotel.
