Fosshotel Lind

Fosshotel Lind

10/10 Excellent
"Exceptionally convenient to the old town, old port, restaurants. Superior staff--I wish I knew tge name of the desk attendant on the day of our arrival and next day. So nice, accommodating, helpful. Outstanding breakfast! Room somewhat spartan but it was very clean, housekeeping by request, great bed! If I get back to Reykjavik, I will definitely stay at Fosshotel Lind."
