We enjoyed our stay in Reykjavik, it was a trip of a lifetime! Plenty of restaurants and wonderful bakeries. On a particular rainy day we went to the Flyover Iceland. Very well done and we totally enjoyed ourselves! We also went to the whale museum.

Other than the bus drivers, who were truly hit-or-miss, I found most people in Reykjavik friendly, if a bit more reserved. I felt very safe in the city and walked most of it every day. The Food Halls around town are pretty spectacular and affordable!

I enjoyed Reykjavik. I wish I was able to see a lot more of the nature and go outside of the city center. I did manage a spa visit to the Blue Lagoon, which I loved sooo much. I spent 7 hours there in the lagoon and enjoyed the Lava Restaurant, too.

Reykjavik is the perfect Winter long weekend break. Most popular tourist activities can be covered in a 4 day stay. Be aware it's dark until nearly 11am in early January. It's quite expensive to eat out but there are lots of good Happy Hour deals.

Absolutely loved the city! Very walkable, tons to see, great shopping and dining! Loved going to the museums, especially the Perlan. Enjoyed wandering and exploring on our own but walking with a guide would have been good, too! What a great place!

Reykavik is such a beautiful town. We went in February with a lot of snow and some icy sidewalks but using our snow boots and snow gear was great to walk around. Lots of restaurants and options for all. People were so nice and it's a safe town.

Lovely city to visit, recommend it to everyone. Many day trips available and an easy city to walk, very safe, many places to eat and drink. Lots of scenic beauty around it too, and a convenient bus service to get to places without a car.

A car is a must in Iceland to see everything. Long distances between amazing sights. 2 days in Reykjavik is enough. Take time to explore. Bring warm waterproof hiking clothes, even in August! Very expensive once in a lifetime trip.

Reykjavik was amazing. Great shopping and boutiques. It is worth noting however that all the busses are on the perimeter of the city and the centre is a hill so you need to walk at least 5-10 minutes to get into the centre.
"Fosshotel Barón fit our needs perfectly. My family of 4 (parents, 10 and 12 year-old boys) needed a place to stay for 1 night in Reykjavik at the end of our week exploring Iceland. We had the family suite with 1 king bed for us and another room with bunk beds for the kiddos.
Other than our room not being quite ready at the 3pm check in time, the hotel was perfect. They were very accommodating in allowing us to store our luggage at arrival and at departure. Everything was comfortable. The location was near (but not right in the middle) of the shops/restaurants of downtown Reykjavik. The breakfast was pretty standard hotel stuff.
All in all, nothing spectacular but perfect for what we needed. "
"The staff was very friendly and efficient. The layout of the hotel was very appealing.
There wasn’t parking and it was inconveniente to be keeping time to pay for additional time."
