Fosshotel Baron Review
Situated 10 minutes' walk from the Lutheran Hallgrimskirkja Parish Church, the 3-star Fosshotel Baron Reykjavik hotel features Wi-Fi throughout the property, and public parking on site. Staying at the hotel, guests discover the shopping area quite close to Laugavegur.
The Fosshotel Baron Reykjavik offers a generous buffet breakfast served daily. The cosy bar is also available. The soup restaurant Svarta Kaffid lies in front of the property.
This historic accommodation lies in the very heart of Reykjavik, in an entertainment neighbourhood, 5 minutes' walk from the unique Icelandic Phallological Museum. The nearby cultural attractions are The Culture House National Museum (850 metres) and the endearingly bloodthirsty Saga Museum (2 km).
Shops and a shopping street can be easily found within walking distance of the hotel. The area offers shopping experiences such as 12 Tonar Record Store, which is at a medium distance from Fosshotel Baron hotel.
Each of the non-smoking rooms has a balcony and a sitting area, and some feature a standard interior. Also, there are coffee/tea makers as well as a safe and smoke detectors provided. The spacious bathrooms come with a hairdryer and complimentary toiletries. Here you'll also find views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Snorrabraut / Hlemmur bus stop is also 5 minutes' walk from the property.
The Fosshotel Baron features a picnic area and various recreational opportunities for guests.
