Disappointing
Okay, let me start off with positive things. We had a good stay at Fosshotel Baron with it's location being very close to the main Reykjavik strip, being also very close to the sea shore, as well as the staff giving us some recommendations and the breakfast being quite solid! Also something that surprised us in a positive way was the natural water that was really rich in Sulfur and was quite nice on our skin.
Now for the negatives, despite the staff being helpful when asking for recommendations, before we started our trip, we had to push it back a day due to emergency medical situation. We wanted to change our booking so it can account for our adjusted dates but the hotel just told us it's not possible and didn't really put any effort in finding a solution or a compromise. We were quite disappointed with that situation and it already being sad because we missed out on one day of our trip, on top of that we wasted around 700 USD on one night that the hotel refused to change for us. Another disappointment was the room itself. The photos show the rooms being quite spacious and bright (we got the deluxe room). In reality, it was really dark and didn't really meet our expectations based on the photos that were posted on booking.com. It was just a bit of a disappointment and moving on with our stay to other places throughout our trip, felt almost like a relief. I have to say, while walking around the hotel we saw some other rooms that were being cleaned and they looked much better, but the one we were staying at (203) was definitely not worth the price we paid.

The people at the front desk were spectacular. Helped us get into our room quickly. Really helpful advice re: eating/ getting places.
The shower. Extremely small. Would be ridiculous for a large person.

The room was quite comfortable. The pillows were nice, not too soft or hard. Breakfast was delightful, with lots of variety and very filling.
Shower could be larger. Turning around in the shower is challenging as the shower curtain sticks to a wet body.

It was easy to walk to many places in Reykjavik. They offered a delicious breakfast each morning.
Beds were a tad hard, but the rooms were sound proofed and quiet.

Great location. Staff were helpful. We were able to book a family room which ended up having two bedrooms and a central living space which was great for our family with teens. There was also a small supermarket behind the hotel and a nice cafe just up the road.
The shower was not very powerful, beds were very firm and breakfast was not included (could be purchased) which was unfortunate as Food is very expensive in Iceland.

We chose this hotel based on Location & it didn't disappoint. Easy walk to main streets in town & scenic water walk. The staff were fantastic. They were always helpful & considerate. We only got the name of one of our favorites, Natala & she was a gem. Breakfast, although the same every morning, was great. Our room was very small with twin beds which were very comfortable but not a great view. Agree with other reviews that bathroom small & shower curtain annoying. We clipped clothes pins to the bottom of the curtain & that small weight kept it in place. We did have a cabinet to hang clothes & store suitcases. The hotel was pricey for the size of the room but we were all about being outdoors so it didn't bother us & we would definitely stay here again.
The lighting in the room was awful. I can't imagine it when daylight hours are diminished. Also the plugs for charging are mostly 3 ft or so off the floor (as is in many other hotels). However, under the window & at level with the desk is a charging panel with USB/C & regular plug outlets.

VERY clean, spacious and comfortable. The Staff was always helpful and courteous. Location is almost waterfront.
Lighting in the rooms. There’s lots of it, but, not very Hygge. The Restaurant only serves breakfast as a full meal deal at $28.00 US. If you want coffee and a roll, $28.00. They will not break it down in any way. Luckily the Coffee Shops in town are good and capable.
