Reykjavik EDITION

To say that The Edition Hotel in Reykjavik is perfectly located, with views of the harbor where you can see all manner of boats coming and going, and that the hotel is a short walk to restaurants and shops, and a longer, scenic walk to the university, is enough to make me happy. The building itself pulls you inside. The soft lighting, the elegant furnishing, and the circular fireplace, spare and modern, manage to achieve a particular warmth. It is a place where a tired traveler can land, be fed a superior meal, soak in a warm pool, be wrapped in a soft robe, and rest in a bed that makes drifting into sleep effortless. But to say all this without mentioning the kind and thoughtful people who are employed there would be to leave out the very best that The Edition has to offer. From the moment I arrived, my needs were anticipated and generously met. Morgan and Lidiana answered my numerous questions and helped me to set up a whale-watching tour (on the fast boat!). Morgan suggested stopping for lobster soup at The Seabaron, and it was as great as he said it would be. I should mention that this was my first solo trip out of my country. My husband was supposed to join me, but unfortunately, he could not. I came to attend a workshop at the university, and so was a reluctant solo traveler. Morgan and Lidiane were instrumental in my being able to relax, recharge, and rejuvenate. The Edition has a lovely group of kind and generous souls who make this lovely hotel an ethereal place. The staff celebrated my first solo trip and made it memorable in a way I could never have imagined and will never forget. I have carried their warmth home with me, and my world is better for it.

Our experience at the Edition was 10/10 ~ from the moment we arrived until check out. The staff were amazing and so friendly! We spent one night here after driving the ring road and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere of the hotel was great from the lobby bar, to the roof and the Tides restaurant. The food and drinks were fantastic. The room was super cozy and the bed was very comfortable - we loved it. After dinner we arrived back to our room with a lovely hand written note and two face masks for us to try out. The spa was such a nice touch and we spent half of the afternoon there. In the morning we went to the cafe which was delicious and walked along the water. We hope to be back soon!!!

Amazing location - very close to everywhere we wanted to walk around and see. Room had radiant floor heating and was always comfortable. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

First time visiting Iceland and one of the best hotels and experiences I’ve ever had! Hotel was spotless, staff were amazingly helpful, friendly and proactive in ensuring a fantastic experience! Without any hesitation, and I’m picky, I would highly recommend the Reykjavík Edition. Truly helped to make our vacation in Iceland a wonderful experience!

We had an incredible stay at The Reykjavik EDITION as a group of 8 across 3 rooms, and it truly exceeded expectations from start to finish. The location is unbeatable—right on the water and perfectly central, making it easy to explore the city while still enjoying those stunning waterfront views. The atmosphere is unapologetically boujee in the best way—stylish, elevated, and vibrant without feeling overdone. The rooms were beautifully designed and extremely comfortable, with standout touches like heated bathroom floor tiles that made a big difference after long days out. Everything was impeccably clean—honestly some of the cleanest hotel rooms we’ve experienced. While I’m a Marriott Titanium member, I’d say this property definitely caters to a higher-end traveler, but the experience matches that level. It feels worth it for a special trip. Despite being lively, the hotel manages a great balance with noise—quiet and relaxing when you want it, but energetic and fun when you step into the social spaces. Service was a highlight. The team went above and beyond to celebrate my bachelorette—they surprised me with chocolates and even a “trophy wife” sash in the room, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. That level of attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed. Amenities were fantastic—one of my friends especially loved the spa. And the energy at both the rooftop and bar was perfect for our group. The servers were not only attentive but genuinely fun and engaging, helping get us into a celebratory mood each night. Overall, an amazing stay and a perfect choice for a group celebration. Would absolutely come back.
