Location is Perfect for the young and active. Right on the main road for tourist bits. 2 minutes walk to the bay, 5 minutes walk to the boat tours. Free parking is great, if you have to pay $2 / hr is not bad either, and the meters are only active 10a-6p weekdays, and 10a-2p weekends. AC = Un necessary, window can be opened just fine. Heating is exceptional, lifts were clean and rooms cleaned daily, they didnt mind cleaning while worked on our computers and were in the room. Kitchen area is great, we cooked dinners to save money. The bar "BOSTON" next door is a treat, owner's family will drink with you! Locals are exceptionally nice, and the staff didnt mind replacing my lost key for the 11th time on our 8th day there.

Take the FlyBus to and from the airport ($19/person), Its half the cost of a cab. Rent your car from in town and drive the country, it is absolutely beautiful.

Amazing value for money. Staff in reception was extremely friendly and I was even talked in spanish by one of them, Tor. Helga was also so friendly. Breakfast area was being rebuilt but a good option was given in the restaurant next door. The breakfast selection was good having in mind the price paid. Room was very clean and the internet was completely free. But the location was definitely the best thing, being right in the centre of the town with all the action happening at the hotel doorstep. Second time using this hotel and no regrets whatsoever. 200% recommendable. Icelandic friendliness made the rest of our stay unforgetable.

Thanksgiving in Iceland
The Fron Hotel is right in the middle of the busiest downtown street, great for shopping, eating or partying. The staff was very good with assistance with tours or questions about the city. Rooms were a bit basic, but large and clean. Room temp was great, water temp and pressure was great. I would return to this hotel.

Great location and good-size room
Unlike most other nonluxury European hotel rooms, our room for two was surprisingly roomy. It came with two twin beds pushed together but also a comfy couch large enough for my daughter to sleep on, plus a mini fridge, a microwave, and even a cooker. The location, right on the main shopping street and just a short walk from the harbor, the duck pond, and scores of restaurants, couldn't be beat. And perhaps best (albeit luckiest) of all, when we arrived at 8:30am, a room was ready for us to check in--we didn't have to wait until the official afternoon check-in time.

great downtown location
The hotel accommodations are pretty basic but very adequate. I would recommend a room in the back, off the street side, as it was noisy at night. Breakfast was good!

Wonderful Hotel in Downtown Reykjavik
We had a wonderful experience with the hotel and staff. I had emailed before hand since or flight was getting in at 0630 am, but check in wasn't until 1400 to ask if there was a place we could store our luggage while we explored the city until the room was ready. Management emailed to say that it was fine. When we got there the room was ready so we were able to nap! The room itself was very nice, a big wooden wardrobe with drawers, a safe and hangers. The bed was two twins pushed together, but we didn't mind, with nice warm comforters. Modern decor, a stand up shower, heated towel rack, a kitchenette with wine glasses, cutting knives, utesils, stove, mini fridge, breakfast table, a little elevated reading area by big bright windows! The hotel staff was so nice! They lent us an outlet converter, helped us to book trips to see the Northern Lights, spa trips, departures, even helped make an international call when my bank card stopped working. The breakfast is your standard continental fare, but we ate at the cafes to maximize our Reykjavik experience. Hands down the best in location, service, and amenities for the price (which all depends on what deal you get!)

Short walk from hotel
In winter, shops do not open until 10am and close at 6pm. It gets light at 10am and dark between 3:30 to 4pm, so plan accordingly.

Good value
Well, if you have to be stuck in Iceland because of a volcano (caused apparently by mountain trolls reacting unfavorably to their reduced payments forced by the Icelandic financial crisis) then hanging out at the Hotel Fron in downtown Reykjavik was the place to be. Good, basic, buffet breakfast, clean warm rooms, and reasonable rates. Helpful staff - even let us into our room well before check-in time.

Dining tip:
Short walk from hotel
If eating out gets to be too much ($, calories, salt) there are two local supermarkets. The one nearer the center of town is open 24hrs,(has a sign stating this) but is more expensive. The other (Bonus Supermarket - turn right, or east as you leave the hotel) is about the same distance, less expensive, and more choice.
