Foss 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.
Perfect location for a quick stop in Reykjavik. It’s not the cleanest of places (kitchen sink and stove was a bit dirty, but hey… what do you expect? It’s very clean compared to other hostels/hotels with shared kitchens like this!) but still worth every penny. I’d go there again any time. They do have a cozy library. All in all I really do like the vibe of the place 🫶🏻
Environmental location: The hotel is located in the city center or the seaside. It is surrounded by attractions, shopping malls and dining streets. The transportation is very convenient. It is close to the bus station and the pier. It is suitable for tourists to explore the local scenery on foot. Most travelers emphasize its superior location, fast access to major sightseeing areas and shopping centers, and there are supermarkets and other living facilities around, improving the convenience of living.
Facilities and sanitation: The rooms are clean and well equipped, with comfortable beds, adequate storage space and modern appliances. Some rooms provide spacious space and sound insulation to ensure the quality of the accommodation. Although some comments mentioned that the bathroom design is more compact, the overall health status has been affirmed by most passengers and meets the expected standards.
Service quality: The front desk staff is friendly and professional, and can actively assist passengers in planning their itinerary, providing transportation information and solving sudden needs. Service processes are efficient, such as fast check-in and check-out procedures.
Nice experience. I booked Fosshotel Raudara and Lind for my trip this time. For the same company Fosshotel I experienced two distinct service. This Raudara is a nice one! Thumb up for them. Staff are friendly and helpful!
Rooms are clean, nice breakfast start from 6.30am and with lift.
Fosshotel Lind just opposite this hotel. Staff not friendly and helpful at all, rooms are ok but small toilet.Their breakfast starts from 7am, and they only packed 4 sets of packed breakfast daily if you didn’t inform them before 12pm, there is nothing their staff can do for you.
So if you are considering this Fosshotel Raudara or Lind, definitely go for Fosshotel Raudara!
Facilities: There's no kettle in the room, but you can request one from the front desk. There's plenty of parking available right in front of the hotel.
Environment: The surroundings are great, with a wide main road right outside, making transportation convenient. We even saw the Northern Lights right outside the hotel on our first day in Iceland!
Each floor has a bathroom, and the kitchen is very well-equipped with pots, pans, and all sorts of utensils, plus a dishwasher. I even put my own bowl in to wash and forgot to take it out! I didn't have breakfast, but it smelled really good. It's quite close to the bus terminal; there's an underpass. On the first day, I got a bit lost and had to go around in circles to find it. Just a heads-up, remember to bring your own disposable slippers!
Well located and only a short walk to the city centre-old town. Bathrooms/shower is too small for use. Beds are comfortable. limited services offered at the accomodation.
The hotel left good almost impression. I would like to highlight breakfast- delicious. But on the first day we faced bad experience. We were traveling with my friend. I have gone to breakfast first, later when my friend joined the staff didn't allow my friend to enter breakfast area saying that breakfast includes only one person per room although we booked room included all guests per room. After we provided proof of booking terms staff allowed to have breakfast but it was not good.
