#5 of 9 hotels in Laugavegur & Hallgrímskirkja by Axel's take. Laugavegur & Hallgrímskirkja is #2 of 5 places to stay in Reykjavik. The best hotels in Laugavegur & Hallgrímskirkja, ranked · Where to stay in Reykjavik

Axel's take: 8.3/10

A strong downtown base, provided you can live with nightlife noise A practical 3-star hotel with rooms and apartments on Reykjavik’s main shopping street, scored for what it is.

Hotel Fron is a practical 3-star with conventional rooms and self-catering apartments right on Laugavegur. It’s a strong pick for exploring Reykjavik on foot without paying for luxury extras. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise clean rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff; the apartments’ kitchens make them especially useful for families and longer stays. The hotel says buffet breakfast is included with every booking.

The central address comes with a genuine trade-off: nearby bars can be noisy, especially on weekends. Ask for a rear-facing room, though quiet isn’t guaranteed. Some rooms feel less modern than the photos suggest, and separate buildings can involve steps even after taking the elevator. We’d skip it for guaranteed silence or effortless car access; travelers with mobility needs should confirm their exact room’s route before booking.

  • Best for: Car-free city breaks; Families booking kitchen-equipped apartments; Travelers prioritizing location and value

  • Watch out for: Weekend bar and street noise; Steps in some buildings despite elevators; Difficult nearby parking

  • Location: Central Laugavegur address, with shops, restaurants and tour pickup stop 6 nearby.

  • Rooms: Comfortable rooms and kitchen-equipped apartments; condition and layout vary.

  • Cleanliness: Strong overall cleanliness feedback across sites outweighs occasional negative reports.

  • Service: Recent guests generally praise helpful reception staff; the desk operates around the clock.

  • Amenities: Free Wi-Fi, adjacent bistro and apartment kitchens; no on-site pool or spa.

  • Fees and surprises: The hotel says breakfast is included, despite Expedia listing a charge; confirm booking terms and budget for public parking.
