Highlights

Rooms: 320 rooms with panoramic city and bay views

Business Facilities: Six event spaces accommodating up to 220 attendees

Dining: Haust Restaurant featuring fresh Icelandic produce

“The location places you perfectly to explore Reykjavik, with the main shopping street just steps away and tour buses conveniently stopping at the entrance. I particularly like the modern design, and those tower rooms, offering memorable views, and the beer garden is a welcome spot for a local draught. It's a solid choice whether you're here for business or a city break, as the meeting rooms are spacious and the fitness center is open 24/7.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Fosshotel Reykjavik from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Fosshotel Reykjavik is often praised for its convenient location, placing guests within easy walking distance of Reykjavik's main attractions. The spacious rooms, especially those on higher floors like the 10th and 15th, offer great inland or ocean views, some equipped with Nespresso coffee machines and UK TV channels. Many appreciate the bathrooms featuring both a bath and separate shower, enhanced by the comfort of heated floors; however, a few guests have noted the rooms can sometimes get warm as they may lack air conditioning. Guests can enjoy the varied breakfast buffet and some even received room upgrades with treats to celebrate special occasions.

Great Stay!

warm welcome clean room underfloor heating
Check-in was swift and I received a warm welcome. I secured a room on the seventh floor. This room had a nice size and cleanliness. The bathroom featured both a tub and a separate shower with complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel bottles. The underfloor heating was a luxurious treat.
I noticed that breakfast had a limited selection of bread. It also lacked variety in toppings to put on the bread.

Excellent Location and Clean Rooms

christmas decorations separate shower underfloor heating comfortable bed
i was quickly checked in upon arrival. the lobby had lovely christmas decorations.. i especially liked that. our room was on the seventh floor. it was a nice size and very clean. the bathroom included both a bath and a separate shower with complimentary shampoo and conditioner. the underfloor heating in the bathroom was a bonus. the bed was comfortable.
i did think the coffee and tea cup sizes during the buffet breakfast were far too small. getting refills was a bit of a pain since the area was very crowded in the mornings.
