Hotel Frón

Hotel Frón is an apartment-style hotel at Laugavegur 22A in the heart of central Reykjavik, Iceland. Laugavegur is the capital's main shopping and dining street, lined with boutiques, cafés, bars, bookshops and restaurants, and the hotel sits within a minute or two of many of them. Hallgrímskirkja church is a short walk uphill, the Harpa concert hall and the Old Harbour are about fifteen minutes on foot downhill, and the downtown bus stops are close. The central location means that most museums, galleries and food venues in 101 Reykjavik can be reached without transport. The hotel is classed as mid-range, with indicative rates from roughly ISK 18,000 to 32,000 per night depending on season and unit size. Accommodation consists of Studios and Apartments, each with kitchen facilities, and this self-catering layout is the main appeal of the property. Guests can cook their own meals using ingredients from supermarkets in the centre, which reduces dining costs in a city where restaurant prices are high, and the apartments suit stays of several nights or families and small groups who want more space than a standard hotel room. Amenities listed are a kitchenette and Wi-Fi, so there is no on-site restaurant, spa or gym; guests usually find breakfast at nearby bakeries and cafés along Laugavegur and Skólavörðustígur. Service is straightforward and practical, with the apartment format giving a residential rather than formal hotel feel. The street location is lively, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights when bars and clubs in the area stay busy late, so light sleepers may wish to request a rear-facing or higher unit. Travellers arriving from Keflavik Airport by Flybus can reach the central bus terminal and walk or take a short taxi ride to the building. The property works well as a base for day trips, with many Golden Circle and South Coast tours collecting passengers from nearby stops.
