It’s just ok. Reykjavik is tiny so it’s hard to be in a bad location. Booked through Stars and didn’t get any of the perks except the on site $ credit. The room was over $1,750/night but there’s no fresh milk in the minibar for coffee, we came home in pouring down rain completely soaked and all 7 staff we saw on entry were on their phones (at a luxury hotel, someone would come running over with a towel), the “speakeasy” was full of loud Americans at some kind of MLM marketing conference, and the breakfast buffet (all these “excellent!!” reviewers don’t know standard Scandinavian breakfast buffet culture) barred my friend from wearing her fashion leather sandals (with beautiful pedicured toes) due to “dress code” but then the restaurant was full of slobs wearing trainers and baseball hats and the guy next to us had come sweaty straight from the gym so what kind of dress code is this?? The room was small. Le Labo products are nice, staff were friendly, and the bed was comfortable. But this is definitely not a real luxury hotel, it’s basically just a nice Marriott where a lot of Bonvoy people use their points. Next time I’m in Reykjavik I’ll go back to the 101, which was a better experience and much better value for money.

Great location, wonderful staff and close to the cruise port. As a perk with my amex card and Marriott membership I received $250 in credits for dining PLUS fabulous full Ct breakfasts included. High end features and deluxe accommodations.

This hotel is fabulous. One of the best evening spots in the city is the Roof Top Bar! Mile is the finest wine sommelier! His knowledge of wine and food pairing is exceptional. We enjoyed his company so much we visited each night through out our stay. Chef Angie is fantastic! Her small plates were absolutely delicious. It was my birthday during our stay, and both Mile and Chef Angie went the extra mile to make my day special. Thank you both for a wonderful 4 evenings. Cannot wait to visit again

The room was not built for four people. One washbasin for a family of four, and the toilet inside the bathroom rather than separate, meant a permanent queue every morning and evening. The bed advertised as a "queen" was 140 cm wide. That is a standard double. Two adults sharing it is a genuinely poor night's sleep, night after night. Turndown is on request only, not automatic, which is surprising at this level. The valet service was visibly understaffed — a minimum 15-minute wait for our car, every single day, without exception. Credit where it is due: the staff were consistently kind and attentive, the breakfast buffet was generous, and the building is beautiful and perfectly placed on the harbour. But breakfast is not included in the rate, so a family pays for it on top of an already high room price. If you are two people travelling light, you may well enjoy it. As a family of four, we paid a lot for a room that could not accommodate us properly. We would not return.

Our stay at The Reykjavik EDITION was outstanding from start to finish. We arrived on a red-eye flight and had an evening cruise embarkation, and the hotel graciously accommodated both an early check-in and a late check-out. As Luminous and Marriott Platinum members, we were also upgraded to a spacious king loft room that was both luxurious and comfortable. The service truly stood out. We were welcomed with a beautiful fruit basket and a complimentary cocktail at the hotel’s hidden speakeasy. The concierge team was incredibly helpful, arranging taxis and reservations throughout our stay and making everything seamless. The room featured plush robes and a large, spa-like shower room. While the bathroom was stunning in design, the open layout did leave water splashed around the tub area after showering. A minor inconvenience in an otherwise exceptional stay. What impressed us most was the staff’s dedication to guest service. After boarding our cruise, we realized we had accidentally left medication in the room’s mini fridge. One phone call was all it took. The hotel located the medication and arranged for it to be delivered directly to our ship before departure. Their understanding, responsiveness, and willingness to help turned what could have been a stressful situation into a non-issue. The Reykjavik EDITION combines luxury, comfort, and genuinely outstanding hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to take care of us, making this the perfect start to our Iceland adventure. Highly recommended.
