Fosshotel Reykjavik: a city hotel with clearly different room categories

Fosshotel Reykjavik is a 320-room, 16-floor hotel at Thorunnartun 1, 105 Reykjavik, with Haust Bistro, the Beer Garden and a complimentary gym for staying guests. It suits travellers who want hotel services near the city's main shopping area and waterfront. Choose the room category for your actual needs: the operator says many, rather than all, rooms have city or bay views. Official property guide

At a glance

The property's own FAQ is the source for these operational details. Requests for early check-in or late checkout can attract a charge and depend on availability. Luggage storage is offered if the room is not ready. Property FAQ

Room choice: compare what you are actually reserving

The accommodation page separates ordinary rooms from upper-floor suites. Its Suite category is approximately 45 square metres, on floor 16 and accommodates up to two guests; the Executive Suite is approximately 60 square metres, also on floor 16 and for up to two guests. Both list a private bathroom with shower and bathtub, sofa seating, desk, safe, tea/coffee facilities, kettle and mini cooler. Do not interpret a suite's extra floor area as permission to add an unregistered guest. Room specifications

The property lists cribs and extra beds among services, but that is not a blanket statement that every room accepts them at no charge. Ask using your children's ages and the actual number of occupants. Similarly, an elevator and a wheelchair-accessible label do not establish that every room has the same bathroom layout. Amenities

Breakfast, dinner and a drink without changing buildings

Breakfast is published as 06:30-10:00. The hotel has Haust Bistro and the Beer Garden; these are distinct dining/drinking spaces within the property, not alternative names for the hotel breakfast service. The property describes the Beer Garden around draught beer and food pairings and Haust around Icelandic produce. Check current menus and opening dates when planning a specific dinner. Food and breakfast

A room being available does not prove that breakfast, dinner or every restaurant service is included. Compare the rate's written inclusions and cancellation conditions together. If you have an early tour, dietary restrictions or an arrival after normal meal service, contact the property before relying on a particular arrangement. We have not treated an unverified menu, dietary promise or room-service schedule as a fact.

Arrival, parking and city use

The address is in Reykjavik's business district near the main shopping area. Use Thorunnartun 1 for navigation: Fosshotel is a multi-property brand and selecting the wrong Reykjavik property can send you to a different reception. For a tour pickup, use the pickup instructions in the tour operator's confirmation rather than assuming every excursion collects at the hotel door. Property location

The hotel's FAQ says public parking and nearby garages are available and cannot be reserved by the hotel. Its amenities classify parking as an extra-charge service. Plan to check the current parking operator's payment rules and capacity when you arrive; neither the hotel page nor this guide guarantees a dedicated space. This is materially different from Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon, where the operator explicitly lists free parking. Parking FAQ

Housekeeping and the total cost

Room entry and cleaning are request-based. Tell reception upon check-in, or before 10:00 ahead of the service you want; towels, linens and restocking can also be requested. For a longer stay, clarify your preference on the first day instead of waiting for automatic daily cleaning. Housekeeping policy

The property currently states an ISK 800 lodging tax per room per night, charged on arrival. Treat this as the operator's published charge for this property, and confirm whether your final booking total has already accounted for it. Room rates themselves depend on dates and category; there is no reliable single nightly price for the hotel. Property charge information

For groups of five rooms or more, the property gives groups@fosshotel.is. Group terms may differ from individual bookings. The hotel also advertises six meeting rooms with maximum capacity of 220, while two of its seven top-floor suites can serve as meeting spaces; a meeting setup is not automatically included in a guest-room reservation.

Frequently asked questions

Is the gym free for hotel guests? Yes. The property FAQ explicitly calls it complimentary. It does not publish a pool as a hotel amenity. Guest facilities

Can I bring a dog? The Reykjavik property's FAQ says pets are not accepted. Other hotels in the same chain can have different rules. Pets

Can I cancel or change a direct booking? The property says website bookings can be cancelled through the confirmation-email link but cannot be modified. Read the rate's cancellation deadline and refund conditions before cancelling and rebooking; a cancellation link alone does not make every rate refundable. Property FAQ Chain terms

Is a high-floor sea view guaranteed? Only if your booked category/confirmation promises it. The hotel's general description says many rooms have city/bay views. Room choice

Is breakfast included? Breakfast is available, but inclusion depends on your rate. Its published serving window is 06:30-10:00. Breakfast FAQ

Operator pages checked 1 November 2026. Room availability, rate inclusions, restaurant service and parking charges should be confirmed for the dates booked.

Compare ordinary, tower-view and family rooms

The room catalogue freshly reviewed on 2 November 2026 adds distinctions beyond suite size:

Standard and Tower View therefore have the same advertised area, with floor/category as the named difference. Family rooms list an extra bed and sofa seating, but ask for the children's ages and actual bedding before paying. A higher floor does not create additional occupancy or guarantee an unbooked view. Accommodation catalogue.

The full hotel FAQ was present in the fresh crawl, including its answers, not merely the question headings. It reconfirms 06:30-10:00 breakfast, paid/unreservable public parking, no pets, complimentary guest gym, request-based housekeeping and the stated ISK 800 per-room/per-night lodging charge. These remain operator-published observations rather than a live room quote or independent facility inspection. Property FAQ.

The separately fetched chain terms describe a standard 48-hour individual cancellation rule, with late/no-show charges and exceptions for discounted rates, specials, packages and groups. The hotel's confirmation-link cancellation facility is a method, not proof your selected rate qualifies for a refund. Obtain the actual deadline and rate conditions before cancelling and rebooking.
