Fosshotel Reykjavík sits in Reykjavík East, one of those discreet four-star additions that travellers tend to bookmark before the rest of the city catches on. Geographically speaking it's within an easy walk of the city centre, and the reasonable location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Inside, the rooms are well-appointed, and guests pick out an in-house restaurant and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. It feels lived-in rather than staged, which tends to be the difference between a stay you remember and one you don't. The numbers behind the reviews tell their own story, well over 1,100 reviews, scoring strong on balance. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €246 a night, a middle-of-the-road entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. The honest read on Fosshotel Reykjavík is that it deserves a side-by-side look against the bigger Reykjavik names rather than a headline of its own.
