Canopy by Hilton Reykjavik City Centre

"Located in the center of the city, this hotel was perfect for exploration of the city, and for catching our tour groups. The staff was very attentive to our needs and quite friendly, that they remembered our names after four days, and numerous guests was impressive, at least to me. The rooms were very clean and had nice furnishings, and the water in the bathroom, was nice and hot. There were wine tasting nights, which many in the hotel attended, and the hotel gave a 20% discount for eating at the inhouse restaurant. But, it was the breakfast that was absolutely wonderful, it had Icelandic as well as buffet style food that would satisfy all tastes. The breakfast set you up for a wonderful day of touring. Had a vast selection of Lps, for you to take to your room and listen to, on a phonograph provided by the hotel, a great way to listen to the many musical genres of Iceland. Highly recommend this place, we will make this our home base next year when we return to continue our exploration of this gem of a nation."

"Central location, minutes walk to main shopping street/restaurants. Rooms narrow but comfortable. We got a courtyard room (supposed to be quieter) but there was a lot of street noise particularly fri night. Sounded like the party was right outside our window!. Breakfast excellent. Ate in the restaurant one night. Very god burger and chips (two main course for price of one on a Tuesday.....). Cheap car park opposite. Just be aware it closes from 12 midnight until 7am. We'd and early flight so had to move it the night before. Overall a great few days and I'd recommend the hotel."

"Booked for 3 nights for a guys trip traveling up from London. We booked two rooms with twin beds & the rooms as mentioned are relatively small but have most amenities anyone would need including USB bedside plugs & a fan to circulate air in the event it's warmer than expected (was about 60F/16C during our visit & when I asked for an extra fan at the front desk after the first night, it was in the room waiting when I returned). Hotel is an amalgam of buildings fused together (it apparently used to be a furniture factory among other things) which lends to the odd layout but there is a nice rooftop area that has views of the harbor & Hallgrimskirkja church. The breakfast was a decent array of hot & fresh items, coffees, teas & the like. The salmon slices with dill were tremendous. In the evenings that area is the hotel restaurant & bar & on Monday & Tuesdays they have a special 2 for 1 on dinner items & two happy hours, one running until they close from 9-11PM. We parked in the parking garage directly across the street for the equivalent of about $15-20 USD/night. Everything in Iceland is exponentially more than you'd expect so the specials & breakfast included made a difference, although you must go up the street to Braud & Co for pastries one morning, especially the cinnamon roll made famous on "Somebody Feed Phil" S7E4. (Our group actually ate at 3 places from that episode -- Le Kock, Sea Baron & Braud & Co, all of which are within a 10-min walk of the hotel). We originally were going to stay at the Hilton Reykjavik but am so glad we did the Canopy instead. Convenient to everything in the city, it was nice after days of touring the island to come back, park & just walk to wherever we wanted to eat, drink or visit. Found out it was the very first Canopy banner in the Hilton chain & it definitely got started in the right way. Would not hesitate to stay here again."
