Beautiful hotel in a fantastic location. The staff is terrific and always available. My only complaint is the lack of storage in the rooms. We had a room with two queen beds. There were two tiny drawers on the floor of the closet. That was it for drawers. Also if you wanted to use the safe you had to sit on the floor.

We had a great stay. Very attentive staff and Elenor made our checkin very smooth and answered all our questions. Perfect location to see the city. Rooms are clean and spacious. Would definitely stay there if we got back to Reykjavík. We also drove ten mins to the lighthouse and saw the best view of northern lights!

We had a brilliant 4 nights in the Edition in Reykjavik, I highly recommend this hotel. There was always someone there greeting at the door which made us feel so welcome. The room was spacious and warm with under floor heating in the bathroom. The GHD hair dryer was a really nice touch. Plenty of toiletries and towels ect, robes were amazing! We were always greeted by the lovely lady in the spa. The spa has a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna which were really well kept and really nice after a long day of exploring beautiful Iceland in the cold. The true star of the show was Themas in the restaurant bar. He was very kind, patient and helpful. We had great chats with him when we were there in the evenings. He gave us many recommendations and he was a really kind and genuine person. Another shining star was Radek who also looked after us really well. He was so kind and genuine, giving us many recommendations and having great conversations! Overall the staff in the hotel definitely went above and beyond to meet our needs, and everyone was so kind! They truly are an asset to the hotel! The rooftop bar was amazing we even managed to see the northern lights from the top! They also provided many free snacks lol nuts and popcorn which I thought was a really nice touch. There was great buzz here and great views! The hotel is centrally located near bus stop #5. This made it really easy to get around. We truly recommend this hotel. We had a brilliant stay and hope to come back soon in the future! *** update to this, we did not receive our full deposit back due to *city tax* which was not specified to us in the beginning. The way it was explained to us was that we had already paid this in advance, and that we received credit to spend in the hotel each night as they *care about their guests*. We were not told that this was a different charge and would not be refunded. We were explicitly told the full amount would be refunded back after our stay (minus whatever charges) Honestly this has really dampened the experience as it was not properly explained which is annoying because I asked for clarification a number of times. I would recommend to anyone to call the hotel and confirm any extra charges before booking, so you are not blindsided the same way we have been, as we feel like we’ve been swindled. It really did feel like the hotel was trying to up-charge everything.***

From the moment you arrive, The Reykjavik EDITION sets the tone: understated luxury, cool Nordic design, and a calm confidence that makes you instantly feel at home. The ambience is effortlessly stylish — modern yet warm, with clean lines, beautiful materials, and a subtle buzz in the lobby and bar that makes it feel alive without ever being loud. It strikes that rare balance between boutique intimacy and international sophistication. What truly elevates the experience, though, is the staff. Sweet, attentive, and exceptionally well trained, they combine professionalism with genuine warmth. You feel welcomed, not processed. Every interaction — from check-in to restaurant service — reflects care and precision. The restaurant is a highlight in itself. Thoughtfully curated dishes, high-quality ingredients, and a relaxed yet refined atmosphere make it a destination even if you’re not staying at the hotel. It’s the kind of place where dinner easily turns into a long, enjoyable evening. Perfect location. Right by the harbor, within walking distance to Reykjavik’s main streets, shops, and cultural spots — yet peaceful enough to retreat from the city’s energy whenever you choose. The Reykjavik EDITION delivers exactly what a modern luxury stay should: cool ambience, excellent service, strong culinary offering, and a location that makes exploring effortless. A place you genuinely look forward to returning to.

The Reykjavik EDITION is definitely one of the more modern and upscale hotels in downtown Reykjavik. Located directly on the harbor, many rooms offer epic water views and a great sense of place. The property embraces a sleek, contemporary design with strong functionality throughout, and service during the stay was very good. The 7,000 ISK destination fee and the more limited traditional Marriott Bonvoy elite perks may be disappointing for some travelers, particularly those expecting the typical luxury-brand loyalty experience. The fee structure has been a recurring discussion point among travelers because of how the credits and included amenities are applied. If you understand the pricing and what is—and is not—included before booking, there is a good chance you will leave very happy with the experience. For travelers prioritizing design, location, and atmosphere over maximizing loyalty benefits, it is an excellent Reykjavik option.
