Stay was absolutely amazing! Staff were super friendly and helpful. The design of the hotel was cozy but modern and we loved how they combined the natural elements of Iceland 🇮🇸 into it. The breakfast buffet was amazing, so much variety and everything tasted beautiful a d fresh. My favorite was the smoked salmon and the rustic bread. We will definitely come again. There was also a spa however we did not have time to explore it.
Great walkable location nearby to restaurants (food hall with multiple restaurants across the walkway outside the hotel’s main doors) and shopping. Also, the concert hall was a 5 min walk away, which also had a bus stop to easily catch any buses/shuttles to booked activities. Overall, it was a great location, tidy and well kept hotel with superb customer service.
The Edition is a stylish hotel with a great design and atmosphere. However, don’t expect full 5-star service. There is no daily turn-down service, and housekeeping won’t make the beds or provide fresh towels unless you specifically request it. We had to call or flag staff each time, which was disappointing at this price point and brand level.
Overall, it’s a nice stay if you’re okay being proactive about basics, but it falls short of the seamless luxury experience the name suggests.
We ended our month-long vacation at the Reykjavík Edition. The location was excellent — right downtown on the harbour and within easy walking distance of the city.
The room itself was compact, with only one chair, though the bathroom was spacious and well designed.
Unfortunately, the room temperature was a constant issue. The in-floor heating had apparently been set to 25°C, and because of the radiant system, it took until our third day before the room became comfortable, even with the window open.
Housekeeping service was inconsistent, generally arriving very late in the afternoon. On our final full day, our room was skipped entirely because we were in the room from 2–4 PM, despite being out from 8 AM until 2 PM.
On departure day, the hotel’s systems were down. Although we had been told a late checkout would likely be possible, staff were unable to confirm anything, so we had to leave at the regular checkout time. I also have yet to receive my detailed invoice.
Dining was mixed. Our first experience at the Michelin-starred restaurant was unfortunately the worst meal and service experience of our trip. However, we returned later for lunch and had a completely different — and very enjoyable — experience.
Overall, while the property has an outstanding location and some strong features, the experience did not justify the premium pricing.
Wonderful service. The staff is very attentive and helpful. The beds were super comfortable which was lovely after a week of hiking around Iceland. The spa is really lovely and peaceful, it was nice to use the sauna, steam room and hot tub during our stay.
hotel is very nice, although a bit expensive. But it is located in walking distance to some of the best restaurants, bars and shopping in town. Very nice view of the water also. Bar staff made great drinks and could not have been any more friendly, and actually all of the staff at the hotel were perfect. Very nice and willing to go out of their way.
Breakfast (included) was great. The hotel staff are engaged and attentive. The price is high, and there were additional (substantial) fees added at checkout that amounted to another 15-20% of total cost. I would likely not eat again at the restaurant, other meals we had were much better, and cost significantly less.

The room has crumbs on the floor, given it was only 1 night for us, we didn’t make a big deal out of it. We arrived after a long day driving and decided to eat at the restaurant - Tides. The service was SOOOOO slow, 2 hours later we almost fell asleep at the table and believe me, we only had appetizer and main course, not deserts.
This hotel is for the hipsters and those who want to be seen, have a very modern vibe but fell short in many ways especially around customer service - it was just OK. I think we got the best service from the bell hop. Definitely NOT a 5-star hotel.
The staff at this hotel is WORLD CLASS. The food at Tides is sensational, the rooms are wonderful (comfortable beds, fantastic showers) and the amenities are top tier. I will be looking to stay at any Marriott Edition hotel I can from this point forward. I give this hotel 10 stars.
