"Despite being located just outside Reykjavik’s main center, the Hilton Nordica maintains its popularity thanks to its superb service and welcoming Scandi-mod interiors. Though workingtravelers tend to favor the property for its many functional conference rooms and business center, leisure visitors prefer to cozy up in a leather armchair by the fire in the plush neutral-toned lobby. The aesthetic continues in the spacious rooms and suites (the smallest is 300 square feet) with their calming, natural palettes, colorful photos of Reykjavik, and large windows that allow Iceland ’s generous light to flood in; suites also enjoy separate lounge areas. The VOX restaurant serves gourmet New Nordic cuisine with an emphasis on Icelandic and Scandinavian ingredients, and the open-concept bar serves coffee, tea, and cocktails, and is a comfortable spot for lounging or mingling whether you’re coming in from a busy day of sightseeing or getting ready to hit the town."
I had my 60th birthday at Hilton. Best experience ever. Gym, great spa, lovely massage. Very good dinner with family and then I had all family coming over at Vox Lounge with open bar and great food/bar snacks. We slept one night and the room was really cosy. The breakfast buffet was very tasty. Thank you for your excellent service and for a lovely memory.

The hotel was nice and quiet. The room was clean had space for our 3 suitcases. Breakfast was good and had lots of choices. The restaurant was busy during dinner hours but did have a limited menu in the bar area with additional seating. Overall, nice stay. Location was decent but not in the heart of downtown - we drove into the city during the day.

I enjoyed a lovely stay at the Hilton Nordica in Iceland. The room was comfortable and surprisingly spacious for Europe. The staff were excellent - friendly, helpful, and attentive. The on-site restaurant and bar were also great amenities.
The main downside was the lack of temperature controls in the rooms. During the Icelandic summer, the rooms can become quite warm by US standards, especially since the weather is cool but humid. Luckily, the front desk provided fans, which helped improve air circulation and lowered the temperature when used with the windows open.
Despite this minor issue, I would happily return to this hotel.

Stayed here for 3 nights following a Viking Cruise. We were up at 2 AM to fly zBergen-Oslo-Reykjavik so we were delighted to find a room ready for us when we arrived around 11am. Nice size room, blackout curtains worked well. Comfy bed, decent TV channel selection. Great gym. A $25-$30 cab ride each way into town. Eating options are Vox at hotel ( pretty good) or turn right out of the entrance and Brasserie Askur snd Kruska snd other eating places within a 3-5 block walk. Also a little convenience store in there. A small but well-stocked Netto grocery store a block behind hotel. Staff was very helpful. Would stay there again.

My first reaction when we opened the door to our room was “wow, it’s so small”. We couldn’t open up both our suitcases at the same time, and there was only 1 chair, so the other person had to sit or lie on the bed. The bed was just inches away from the window, which we had to leave open because it was quite warm and there’s no A/C or fan. Unfortunately, the window doesn’t open very far - only a few inches - so I slept poorly in the warm room. The bathroom was minuscule - I’ve had larger bathrooms on a small ship! We were told by our local guide that this is typical in Iceland, as well as the high price. Everything in the room was clean and well-maintained. ||There are a number of decent restaurants within a couple of blocks. The walk down to the shoreline and sculpture walk was easy, but walking to downtown would be a bit too much. The breakfast buffet was quite nice with a large variety of attractively displayed items. The bar service and menu were decent, and we ended up having a light dinner there on 2 of the 3 nights that we stayed.

Nice hotel. Modern, clean and well kept. Very nice breakfast. Rooms are small, but typical for Europe. If visiting in summer be aware there is understandably no air conditioning, and we found our room quite hot while visiting in July. We did see a fan being taken out of one room as we were leaving, so if this happens to you, ask at the front desk.

Although we are Hilton Diamond, the room we had was small and very warm without air conditioning. The windows were open when we arrived, and we left them open for air, but then we heard street noise all night long. The shower/tub combination is difficult to safely enter and exit since there is no grab bar. We arrived at 9:50p and the restaurant was closed, and the bar closed at 10p. The bartender kindly did let us and other guests arriving from a late flight from Boston quickly order drinks however. So our dinner consisted of drinks and some peanuts we had in our luggage (: The executive lounge for breakfast was fine.

Stayed at this hotel for our first and last nights in Iceland to book-end our ring road trip. Hotel is very comfortable with friendly and professional staff. Its very much exactly what you'd expect from an international chain. Its located close to everything although to go into the centre of the city, I'd recommend driving and not walking. We were very thankful for a pharmacy right behind the hotel that was open on a Sunday (which is uncommon in Iceland from our experience). The food options in the hotel are pretty good but there are many options around. The Happy Hour discounted beverages at the bar are worthwhile! On our first night our flight had landed at 4:15am that morning, the hotel clearly has a lot of people trying to get early check-ins - it seems you need to turn up at the hotel to have a chance of this, we rolled the dice and headed to the hotel at about 12:30pm on our first Saturday and our triple room was ready for us so we were able to get a little rest and sleep earlier than planned.
