Fosshotel Raudara in Reykjavik

Breakfast is nice, front desk staff is responsible and smart

The smiles of the staff at the counter and restaurant were genuine and lovely, a rare sight in Iceland. Although the hotel was old, it was clean and quiet at night. However, most people in Iceland travel independently, and no matter which hotel you stay in at different times, you'll always hear the sound of someone opening and closing the door (for late-night flights, people chasing the Northern Lights, or people getting up early for a trip). The washbasins were small, which is typical of most hotels in Iceland. I slept very well in this hotel.

Overall, I was very satisfied.
1. Location. The church is a 15-minute walk away, the airport bus stop in Reykjavik is a 30-minute walk away, and the airport bus and local group bus stop, Bus Stop 13 - Raðarárstigur, is a 3-minute walk away (not directly in front of the hotel!).
2. Hotel Service. The front desk is 24 hours a day. If you arrive at night, you need to ring the doorbell on the left side of the main entrance. You need to inform the front desk the night before if you want to have your room cleaned. The receptionist seemed distant, but she was actually very helpful and even offered to mail a postcard for me.
3. Food. I didn't order breakfast, but it was basically bread, scrambled eggs, and chickpeas. After ten days of eating there in Norway, I really didn't want to eat anymore... If you want Chinese food, turn right and walk a few steps. There's a Chinese restaurant called "Fan" (Rice). The service is average, but the food is fast and the food is delicious.
4. Room. The room was large and spacious. There was also a refrigerator for refrigerated souvenirs. The hot water, including the shower water, had a sulfur smell, which is normal in a volcanic country. Drinking water needs to be cooled for at least 30 seconds.

Our first stop in Iceland. After picking up our rental car, it took about 40 minutes to drive from the airport. Parking in the hotel's garage came with a fee.
The room wasn't huge but was sufficient for three people. The bathroom was on the smaller side. Just like everywhere else in Iceland, the water had a distinct sulfur smell. While the cold tap water is drinkable, it's advisable to get drinking water from the front desk.
The breakfast offered a good variety, and the location was convenient, being close to the city center. Overall, it's a solid value-for-money option.

Nice small hotel, nothing too fancy

The room was very spacious and comfortable.

The hotel was exceptionally clean, and our spacious family room provided plenty of space for everyone. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. I highly recommend this hotel for families or anyone looking for a comfortable stay!

The front desk staff are very helpful, and the hotel can store luggage for free. The breakfast is also very good! The hot water becomes stable very quickly!
The room was clean and quiet!
It's also very close to the church! The location is great!

The location is good. It takes ten minutes to walk to the church and the main attractions. The fine Chinese food next to it is super delicious.
