Front desk person is very impersonable. Stated he doesn’t know if our transfer to the airport is reliable. Which was exceptional in Providing service. We ad to wait for a while to check out since no one is at the front desk. The location of the hotel is strategic.

Great hotel, not so great parking

We really enjoyed our stays here. Perfect location in the heart of downtown Reykjavik. The rooms were exceptional. The breakfast had plenty of options. The only drawback is there isn't designated parking, so you have to hoof your luggage from a pay for parking garage a little ways away. Don't think you can unload at the door either, because the street in front is for foot traffic only, and special vehicles.

Hotel Fron is located in the heart of the pedestrian-only shopping and dining area. Lots to do within a few blocks of hotel. The Fron was spotless, rooms were comfy and quiet, and the included breakfast included a plentiful assortment of breakfast food. Front desk helped get a taxi to the cruise ship dock. Highly recommend this hotel
