    The key to get in the room it was an actual key and I wasn’t informed that you had to re-lock the door with the key when you leave or it stays open. The shower was a tiny square was a draw curtain that wasn’t easy to maneuver and water can spill on the rest of the bathroom easily if you’re not paying attention to the curtain.

    It was nice.

    The details that I had agreed to in advance via email were not communicated, but I was glad that they were able to accommodate the situation.

    The room facilities and hotel location were good.

    All the beds on the trip were small and so were they here. US citizens like a little bigger mattress. Personally had trouble with the shower. Unusual, but complaint is that the water was too hot and I could not turn the knobs to get the temperature cool enough. I did read the sign on the wall about how the water could be 180 degrees, but could not get any of that put cold water to come out when taking my shower.

    The location is excellent in the heart of the town. The staff were amazing and seem to really care about our experience at Fosshótel Barón and Reykjavik.

    We needed a place to put our clothes like sweaters, pants, etc. There was a great rack to hang up shirts and coats, but we could have used a set of drawers for the rest of our clothes. Larger shelf in the bathroom would be useful too.

    Location was ideal, so close to everything downtown. Beds and pillows were very comfy. The breakfast buffet was phenomenal and refreshed throughout the morning so you didn't have to go right away at 7am when it opened.

    The room had no windows but only a skylight. The bathroom needs improvement as there is no space to put stuff and the shower is too small.

    It was a busy hotel due to its proximity to city centre. Very accommodating staff. Breakfast was great with both English and Icelandic options.

    The shower was quite small and it was hard to stop the water pouring out onto the bathroom floor- needed to mop it up with the towels to prevent it wetting the carpet in the room.

    Quadruple room, did not take breakfast. The room was lovely and warm. The beds and duvets were super comfy.

    The beds were uncomfortable. We had to use the duvets to pad the mattress. There was no suitcase stand.

    Loved the onsite restaurant and bar. The front desk workers were a delight. They were helpful, cheerful and efficient. The location was very good which allowed us to walk all over the city. I liked having the little table and chairs.

    The shower in my bathroom completely flooded the floor. This must have been expected as a large mop was left in there, presumably to deal with this. The bathroom lacked rails to dry towels.

    It was close to the shopping street, Laugavegur and an easy walk into Reykjavik.
