Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Fron enjoys a fantastic location right on Laugavegur, the main shopping street, making it easy to reach attractions like the Sun Voyager and the cathedral. Many guests appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, some even featuring kitchenettes, balconies, and comfortable beds. The breakfast buffet offers a satisfying variety, including cereals, yogurt, fruit, bread, cheese, and meats; however, some guests in front-facing rooms have noted occasional noise from the street at night. it's considered a great base for exploring Reykjavik.
