I missed the welcome of warm cookies in the afternoon. There was nothing. The front desk staff was fine- nothing to write home about. It was nice they held our luggage after checkout for a few hours as we shopped before heading to the airport. Tip to others- P3 parking lot is about 3 blocks away close to the water side- there was always parking there. The location was good. In the middle of the action. We also loved the buffet breakfast. Eggs, salmon, breads, pastries, so many things. Only comment is that the variety was the same for the 3 days there- no changes- so it did get boring after day two. The beds comfy. room is nice. water pressure for showers good. I would stay here again.

We loved everything about this property. There are so many cozy spaces to hang out, the lobby has a variety of cool art books to look at and there is original art hanging all around the hotel. You can purchase treats in the lobby. The Geri Smart restaurant within the hotel was excellent. The breakfast bar offered a little of everything and we look advantage of the Two for One dinner offered on Monday and Tuesday evenings. I had the Cod and my husband had the Char, both were fantastic. The room was very cool and comfortable. I love the minimalist aesthetic. The front desk staff were so friendly and helpful. I can’t say enough about this hotel.

Great location to all downtown Reykjavik sites and locations. Breakfast in the restaurant is really, really good; didn't try lunch or dinner. Service at the desk was very nice. No hotel parking but there is a garage across the street. Stayed in two different rooms and both were really nice quality and views. No central AC but you can open the windows and they provide a room fan and there is a radiator in each room.

Our stay was wonderful despite, the lack of air conditioning in the room. Julio and his team took exceptional care of us, ensuring we had every necessity for a comfortable visit. The breakfast buffet was truly out of this world with an incredible variety of options. Their signature "Multivitamin" juice was absolute perfection and a highlight of my mornings. We really loved this Hilton location, its people, and the overall greatness of Reykjavik. This Hilton location is definitely a place I plan to add to the rotation for future Icelandic trips!

We had a wonderful stay at the Canopy by Hilton Reykjavík City Centre. The location is excellent—within easy walking distance of Rainbow Street, restaurants, shops, and many of Reykjavík’s attractions. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the hotel has a stylish, modern Icelandic feel. A special thank you to Julio and Jani, who sent messages during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and that our stay was going well. Such a thoughtful and personal touch! The staff was welcoming and helpful throughout our visit. We would definitely recommend this hotel when staying in Reykjavík!

Stayed for one night before our cruise. The location of the hotel was perfect for easily seeing major local sights and for shopping and dinning. Breakfast buffet was one of best I've ever had anywhere. Room was compact but well-designed and fine for our needs. The staff were exceptionally accommodating. They let us check-into our room upon arrival in the morning, allowing us a quick nap before sightseeing. When we disembarked 10 days later, we had about 11 hours until our flight. Since we are HH members, the hotel let us store our luggage for the day before departing for the airport. Others on our cruise in same situation had to store luggage at train station. We had lunch twice at restaurant and it was great!. I highly recommend this hotel!

I would highly recommend staying here. The rooms are new looking. Very nice lobby. The included breakfast is amazing. The location cant be best. Walkable to most everything. The main pedestrian street and rainbow street are just behind the hotel. You can walk two blocks to bus stop 6 , where all the tour busses pick you up. The rooms dont have ac, but it isnt needed in iceland. However the rooms do have windows that open and a fan, if needed. I have stayed here several times and never need ac. The rooms have an iron and ironing board coffee maker, safe, hair dryer, nice showers with good hot water and great water pressure. The bed are comfortable. Most of all, the staff are incredible. The housekeepers are kind and hardworking, the breakfast staff in the restaurant bar are are very efficient and kind. The front desk folks, esp. Jesus, Jana, and Sera sp? ( sorry, i may have messed up a fee name spellings) Are all amazing. Very kind and helpful with directions or hotel information. I look forward to returning. Thank you for a great stay.
