Pros: The hotel decor in this hotel is really well designed. The lobby, the lounge, the restaurant & the rooms were all super cool. We loved it! We stayed in a really great room. It had a living room with a pullout that our 2 year old slept on & a great big king in the bedroom. The bathroom had a really cool clawfoot tub & big shower. I loved the decor in our room! Blackout curtains were great as we were jet lagged & the sun doesn't go down in the Summer iceland. Breakfast was yummy & the coffee was excellent. Everything is VERY expensive in Iceland but this hotel was pricey even for Iceland. Luckily we had a free night from hotels.com do we only had to pay the taxes. I'm very impressed with Canopy by Hilton though & hope to stay in another one of their hotels.

Pros: The hotel was well located in city center. The staff was very helpful with luggage and their property is very clean and nice. It was very quiet.
The strict 4 pm check in was a problem as we arrived about 11 am in the center city. The airport is about 1 hour away by Flybus and leaving your luggage at the central bus station would mean another trip to the central bus station to retrieve it.
The breakfast is the same each day and is a cold platter. Very nicely done with excellent coffee and tea. Very nicely served and the staff was quite helpful in every way.

Pros: A converted townhouse, this place is great! My room was spacious and clean. The two men running the hotel were extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was amazing and filling. One quirk is they have you leave your room key with them when you leave for the day or for dinner. I assume this prevents you from losing it. You have to ring the bell and they come and open the front door for you. I’d stay here again.

Pros: I liked that the hotel wasn't like many of the other hotels ie clinical and sparse. It was nicely {if a little chintzy} decorated and furnished and also comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful, tasty and fresh. I liked the sense of humour of the gent with the darker hair and the other was also pleasant and helpful.

Pros: I stayed at the Hotel Phoenix for 6 nights, which is a wonderful hotel. Even though it is a small hotel, there is always somebody on the reception for 24 hours, which made me as a single female traveler feel very safe. The two gentlemen that work there also took my luggage up to the room, and at check out back down swiftly, you don't even have to ask for help, it was natural for them to carry my luggage. They are also very happy to help with information. For me it was important to see the Northern lights, and they would check constantly for me the weather updates (whether if was going to be cloudy or clear sky, which is important to have in order to see them, also what the activity was (scale from 0 - 10). At breakfast they are very accommodating, making sure that you have enough coffee or tea, always. This is not a buffet where you help yourself, they serve a breakfast plate to you, and they add a couple of slices of ham, but when I mentioned that I don't eat meat, they would not forget about that and added extra cheese instead for the rest of my stay. I felt cared for, also because they would remember those kind of details. The room was really spacious, clean and the mattress was just perfect, not too soft as you usually find in other hotels. It is the second time, that I slept in a strange bed and it felt as comfy as my own bed at home! (first time in Thailand), and I have stayed in many many hotels. Even the toilet paper in the room is high quality! This hotel does not provide lunch/dinner nor room service, but this was not a problem for me at all as there are many different kind of restaurants close by, within walking distance you can explore. Without hesitation, I would stay in that hotel again for my next trip to Iceland!

Cons: Very little. There is no on-site parking, but there are plenty of spots within 200m of the front door. You don’t pay for parking 1800 - 0900 on weekdays. It is a little bit of a walk to get “downtown.” I had no problem with this, but others might.

Cons: Not much really I didn't like. I guess knowing there could be 2 sets of steep stairs and to get to the centre is 10/15 minutes walk would be useful but not really a big deal for us.

Pros: Positive: breakfast good - cleaning of room OK
Cons: Phoenix lacks other facilities besides the room - eg no reception area or bar - door to hotel was always closed which is unusual for a HOTELs - normally you get a key so you can open the (if the door is closed) door when you arrive late. Charging 5 € / day for wifi - year 2018..... ,

Pros: The hotel is clean, the location is fine.
Cons: Staff assigned twice my room and someone got into my room while I was trying to catch some sleep with my partner. I've stayed multiple times at this hotel before and I have always been at rooms with bathtub however this time they assigned me.one without it even though I paid for the same exact room I have done in the past.

Pros: The pillows in the rooms were lovely. Patrice the receptionist was an absolute angel, so accommodating and helpful. The beer garden is lovely and the lattice fries are to die for.
Cons: the hotel did not provide us with everything they promised. the prices for food and drink were extortionate. no milk was provided for the tea and coffee facilities. there is the option to pay for add ons for your stay but they are also very pricey.

Fancy bathroom toiletries, great shower, fluffiest towels I've had in a long time - and they were huge! Hotel is nice, has a bar/restaurant with good happy hour downstairs. Breakfast was a buffet style, lots of choices, but labels on everything would be good - wasn't sure what everything was!

Pros: But why would you want to spend a lot of time in your room when your on vacation?
The staff was friendly and helpful and the facilities -- breakfast area, bar, lobby, deli, cinema, etc. -- were comfortable and clean.
From our room we had a fascinating view of a 178-foot fishing trawler undergoing refurbishment, perfectly apt for the marina setting.
Easy to walk everywhere with great restaurants nearby. We'd stay again!
Good
7,5
Pros: It's a very modern, clean, efficient hotel. It's walking distance to the main shopping area and very close to a bus stop that takes you to either the Blue Lagoon or the Airport. Although it's right on the marina, the views are not great - one side is the street, the other is boats in dry dock. The rooms are small but functional. The shower is tiny and the only thing separating you from the toilet is a small curtain. You need your room key to turn on the lights. The bar is fun, there is happy hour every night from 5 to 6 and in the evening they spin vinyl. It seemed popular with the local hipsters. The breakfast buffet was impressive with an array of fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, cheese, yogurt & breads.

Pros: The location on the the old port was very convenient with great restaurants and other activities nearby, as well as within a short walking distance of the downtown center.

Pros: It was not my first time at Hlemmur. The place is comfy, rooms are large and the kitchen very useful, plus is walking distance from every relevant place in Reykjavik, and just in front of the bus stop for all lines to visit South / West. And Baronstigur geothermal pool it's 10 minutes walk. It's very good that they have free coffee all over the night, plus many interesting events for locals too. I also tried the breakfast too and is exceptional for the price. I would return again, especially at the very good bargain deal I got!

Pros: I stayed here for 9 days during November for Iceland Airwaves music festival. I stayed in a room with 12 beds in and it exceeded my expectations and was good value for money. The beds were clean and comfortable and the bedrooms were warm and quiet. The hostel had everything I needed. The toilet and shower facilities were very good and clean the water was always warm for a shower. They had a complete kitchen with lots of appliances to make your own food which was good because food in resturants in Iceland can be quite expensive, the 24 hour shop over the road was excellent as was the supermarket further down the road. The hostel also had a bar with reasonably priced pints and a happy hour, the resturant was good and the lounge area on the ground floor very relaxed, socialable and comfortable. The entire hostel had a very good homely feel to it. The staff were friendly, approachable and answered all my questions that needed answering and had a good knowledge of the local area and things to do in Reykjavik. The location of it was amazing too. It is on the main shopping street but in a slightly quieter end, it is by Hlemmur Square bus station and the hostel itself was a pick up point for my tour of the Golden Circle and Northern Lights was good for the early rise. It isn't too far from the BSI Bus Stop and the city centre location makes it close to bars and resturants, tourist attractions and the bay. I would happily stay at this hostel again and would reccomend it to anyone travelling to Iceland.

Cons: Much dirtier in person
Kitchen appliances don't work (stoves, ovens, microwaves) so use and need of kitchen is pointless
People staying there do not clean their dishes, and cleaning crew doesn't do them either, so there's always a sink full of dirty dishes and no utensils.
Advertises soap and shampoo provided yet they give 1 tiny bottle of shampoo that people end up stealing so no soap or shampoo
Same with the soap in the bathrooms. No soap.
Checked out a day early (almost 30 hours early) yet told that no refund would be given because not given 24 hours notice (?)

Pros: The room was amazing. Location ideal!! The breakfast cerial and fruit options were great, including Almond Milk.!! ALL staff were all really really lovely!!! We loved the history of the building and how it was next to the Icelandic Airport. Really interesting.
Cons: Limited vegetarian options for meal. One vegetarian option was ok for one night, but in my view.. too much to expect the same option for three nights on the run with no ther options. Would have been nice to have other vegetarian options, or just pay for starter/dessert. Vegetarian's tend not to have big appetities. However my partner eats meat and fish and there was plenty of this and he says it was really delicious!!!

7,7 Good
Pros: Spa was fantastic, breakfast was great but this was expected due to the price you pay.
Cons: Having a double bed which have two beds pushed together was uncomfortable and as a couple we like to be close when we sleep. On this occasion having two single duvets just made this uncomfortable.
On check in they told us they were overbooked and that we should chose another of their hotels. The member of staff was rude and talking in Icelandic to other members of staff which made us uncomfortable. We ended up with a room upgrade because of the situation however this is not what we needed after a long day travelling.

Cons: The restaurant wasn't that great, (underdone chicken), waitstaff wasn't friendly, especially if your breakfast wasn't part of the package. The spa staff gave contradictory information to reception staff, so better communication would've been helpful .

Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful with information on getting around Reykjavik. The food was excellent. Loved the Folk art and displays in the lobby. It was a very nice stay for my first visit to Iceland.
Cons: The only thing that didn't work was th TV in our room. When the staff couldn't seem to fix it we were given vouchers for a beverage of our choice from the bar. It worked out just fine, instead of sitting in our room we went out and about the city and had a great time, better than TV any day!

Pros: Given a small, quite dated room on top (7th) floor and asked for upgrade but none available. This was not a problem for us as plus points were that it was a clean,quiet room with a comfortable bed and excellent views over the city at night. The hotel itself was very nice apparently with some updating taking place that we never saw or heard whilst there. Credit must be given to the reception staff who were always very pleasant and never put out giving us information and helping us find the best excursions available. The breakfast was very good with a nice choice. We never dined at the hotel after breakfast as we were out and about most of the time but had a few drinks at the bar at night which we thought were expensive but it's roughly the same at most bars/eateries in the city. The hotel was in a very good quiet location within easy reach and walking distance from the main city area. We really liked it here and plan to book again next year as we didn't have time to visit many of the attractions having only booked a 3-night short break. We recommend this hotel.
Excursions - A must is The Blue Lagoon a bit expensive at £125 p.p. with return coach travel but a wonderful experience and would visit again! This price was for the comfort pack that includes a towel and a free drink, it's about £21 p.p. dearer for the Premium pack which includes sandals and a robe. We found the Northern Lights a bit of a let down as we only saw a very small pale green 'glow' nowhere what you see in pictures even though it was a clear sky! The 'Hop On - Hop Off' red bus tour around city is also recommended.

Cons: Staff seemed to be overwhelmed in the restaurant at dinner. We sat down with not explanation of the menu or even if we had been vegetarian, as we had requested a fixed 3 course dinner option prior to our stay. My husband had to inform them that he didn't eat meat. It seem too busy for the staffing level.

Pros: The female staff were excellent as were the bar staff.
Cons: The hotel had cracks on the glass exterior, there were a number of areas that were just left with no real purpose and looked unkempt, eg the room you walked through to get to the breakfast dining room. The breakfast was OK but exactly the same every day. I was charged for coffee in the lobby area, when the website said it was free. The room had a coffee machine but nothing to make coffee with. The mini bar was empty, a fridge but nothing in it. We may used it or not but we didn't have the opportunity. The female staff were fantastic as were the bar staff.

Pros: Great Location, nice clean hotel at a good price.
