The staff were very nice (congratulations to Nic, Sara and Anna). Also, the hotel is clean. If you need cleaning cleaning, don’t forget to book it before the early morning. Breakfast is worth it… and the location is great. You have to pay for parking so my suggestion is to park next to door.

Hotel location is great, just two blocks away from the road that connects you to shops and restaurants. Within a 3-20 minute walk are plenty of restaurants, bars, shops.
Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and a great size for our family of four.

I would stay with Fosshótel Barón again. It was quiet, had a lovely breakfast with lots of variety…and options for latte or cappuccino or coffee.
The location was very walkable to restaurants, shopping and sites. Thank you for a delightful stay.

Room was clean, staff was great! The hotel is in a great location. It is also true that the beds were older and not very comfortable, the shower is very small and an experience in itself and there isn’t much sound proofing so you hear other people’s doors closing and moving around which can be challenging if you are a light sleeper and managing jet leg from travelling internationally. All in all it is a good hotel. The buffet was pretty good and expensive but everything is expensive in Iceland.
