Guest User💰 Price & Value
I paid €75/night. I booked the hotel just 1 day before my departure. Considering hotel prices in Reykjavík and this hotel's location, I think it offers great value for money.
If you have a very generous budget, you could stay at the EDITION Reykjavík, which is closer to the opera house, right in the city center, and offers beautiful river and mountain views. Personally, I'd rather save the money and spend it on an unique hotel somewhere else in Iceland like Eleven Deplar Farm, Highland Base, Blue Lagoon, etc. The location is convenient for exploring Reykjavík. There aren't many activities in downtown Reykjavík besides shopping for local Icelandic brands, so I think 2 days in the city is enough.
🛏️ Room & Cleanliness
Overall, the hotel was very clean, and the entire property always smelled fresh.
I stayed in a basement room, so my window faced the wall of the next building. It wasn't a big issue since I spent most of my time outside, but it's something worth knowing before booking.
The room felt a little cold when I first checked in. I informed the staff n they fixed the heating issue very quickly. I traveled at the beginning of April 2026, and Iceland was still quite cold, so I recommend staying somewhere with a good heating system.
*One small downside: there was no complimentary bottled water
🍽️ Breakfast
My booking included breakfast, and I'm really glad it did.
The pastries were excellent and suited my taste. Since eating out in Reykjavík is expensive, I highly recommend adding the hotel's breakfast buffet. It's much better value than buying breakfast outside.
🤝 Service
The staff were friendly and genuinely helpful throughout my stay.
On my last day, the weather became terrible with heavy rain. I asked if I could borrow an umbrella, and the staff member was happy to help.
The only area where I think the service could be improved was at check-in. I was traveling alone as a woman with a suitcase, and no one offered to help bring my luggage to my room. It would have been a thoughtful touch if the staff had simply asked whether I needed assistance.
📸 Final Thoughts
I didn't take many photos of the room. Overall, I had a pleasant stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable, offered excellent breakfast, and the staff were very helpful whenever I needed assistance. Considering the market price, I would definitely say it was worth the money.
I'm a very detail-oriented traveler who pays close attention to cleanliness, comfort, and service. I always write fair and honest reviews based on my real experience. If you have any questions about this hotel or traveling in Iceland, feel free to leave me a message.

This hotel boasts an excellent location, just across the road from the ocean, and the sea-facing lounge areas on each floor are absolutely stunning. The elevator is now fixed, so there's no need to worry about heavy luggage. There are two floors dedicated to dorm rooms and two floors with standard rooms. The dorm floors also have plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen is clean and staff clean it daily. I stayed for a week and encountered three different front desk staff members, all of whom were incredibly friendly and even helped me book tours over the phone. This hotel offers amazing value for money – highly recommend it for a stay in Reykjavik!

sindhupFoss hotel Reykjavik is a great place, conveniently located next to Bus stop 12 where all the tour operators pick up and drop off as well as Fly bus tdrop off and pick up. The hotel is very clean and safe. I have a fantastic experience with the staff in front desk and house keeping. I was a solo traveller and I asked guidance to the front desk on some places that i wanted to go within and near Reykjavik. Tge front desk staff, he gave me suggestions and helped me book the show ticket. He gave me clear instructions and seeing my lost look , even gave me the hootel phone numbers to call him in case I run into trouble. But thanks to his clear guidance I managed to navigate well and had a great day out. This hotel is about 15 to 20mrs from city centre by walk. One day I forgot my gold chain in the room. But the housekeeping folks while cleaning did not even touch any valuable stuff that i left. It is really a very reliable and safe hotel. They have a restaurant that serves delicioys food. I ate their fish and chips and chicken salad. Both were great. The breakfast has a good spread. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. The best part is still the excellent service from the staff. My trip got rebooked and i had multiple correspondence with the staff and they were always prompt and reassuring. The only downside of the whole stay was my room. I got a corner room which had a slanted corner shape, meaning a triangle cut off from a rectangle. Though nicely laid out, i felt claustrophobic as the room size was much smaller. That room is not ideal, especially if not solo.

Service provided by Ginta was excellent! Initially we were assigned to a room on the 3rd floor, which would have been impossible for us as there was no elevator and we had two big luggages. Ginta was very helpful and accommodating to our request, she called her manager and helped us to change rooms to the first floor.
We also had to leave early by 7:30am the next day for a tour, but breakfast officially only starts at 7:30am. Ginta helped to arrange and ensure we had breakfast before we left.
Location is great, less than a 5 minute walk to bus stop #8 and Hallgrimskirkja church. It was also easy to walk to Rainbow street, Laugavegur and other attractions.

Anonymous UserDusty and run-down. The accommodation was really poor for a small hotel. The city center is beautiful to walk around, but there's no front desk, so it's self-check-in. I guess that's just how it is in Iceland 🇮🇸. It's a bit of a walk to the main street, but manageable.

Guest UserThe location is great and convenient especially for us who booked the day tours and it’s 4-5min walk to bus stop 4.
Especially the receptionist Rica is really kind and helpful and she generously offered us an upgraded.
And we do appreciate the CNY greetings both from the reception but also for the card with orange. Also as my hubby’s birthday is during the stay, I asked months before if birthday decorations is available and eventually got a birthday cake and a card but with wrong name lol
The facility (needs to turn off the lights one by one instead of all-in-one) and hygine situation is not that good in terms of the 5-star hotel. (Hair in the sheet cover and the toilet)(no clean up for the desserts)
The tides restaurant and cafe is good and worth trying with ISK 7000 credit for the restaurant.
No chance to try the spa.

I booked the same hotel for the first three days of my trip, and Ctrip really offered the best price. They even refunded the difference when the price dropped later, which I really appreciate – thanks to the responsive customer service!
The overall environment is very cozy, though the room was indeed a bit small. It was very clean, the breakfast was abundant, and the staff were very friendly.
The hotel provides free coffee and hot chocolate; the hot chocolate was quite good.
Like most hotels in Iceland, they don't provide shampoo or slippers.
It's a little far from the city center attractions.

Guest UserWe booked a deluxe room for our last two days in Reykjavik. It was much larger than the standard room, though I suspect they might have given us a family room instead. When we walked in, besides the two twin beds, a large sofa bed was also laid out. The room itself was huge, with large glass windows covering two of the four walls, plus an emergency exit door leading directly outside. The toilet and shower were located in two separate, spacious rooms. We were able to fully open two 26-inch suitcases on the floor without blocking the walkway. This room type also came with bathrobes and disposable slippers, and the front desk informed us that access to the hotel's hot springs (located on the basement level, B1) was included as well. The front desk can help call a taxi. It's not far from the main street, making shopping and exploring very convenient. Right outside the building entrance to the left is bus stop #13 for pickups, and there's a convenience store just 100 meters away—which seems to be 24 hours—and the pizza there is delicious!

Pros: clean.
Plenty of shelving to put our stuff which was amazing.
Great that the shower had a handheld.
Breakfast was good. Multiple yogurt drinks, a yogurt bar, eads, scrambled and easy eggs, breakfast meat, porridge, melon, banana, gluten free section, juices and teas.
Water bottle filling station was very welcome.
Plenty of easy parking out front. Beautiful atrium when you walk in.
Cons: breakfast was expensive, even for Iceland. I wasn't going to stuff myself with enough food for it to be worth it.
Room was too hot, there was just a little window to cool it down and no way to create air flow. There was construction noise outside but closing the window was unbearable.
Bathroom was slightly slanted so you could feel it when sitting on the toilet, and when you opened the door even a little it would swing and bang the shower door/wall (movable curved glass that serves as both the shower door and wall).
Check-in was quite slow considering they knew we had just flown overnight and had paid for the night before because we knew we would be very tired and want to nap right away.
Overall a very nice hotel, seemed more for the business crowd but suited our needs as a vacationing family who had just flown in.
