My daughter and I spent four nights at the Canopy, and loved everything about it. First, the décor! There are several little lounges scattered about the hotel, so if you want to sit and enjoy a drink or just relax, you won't be in a busy crowded lobby. The furniture is minimalist, with soft lighting and a Scandinavian vibe.
We had wonderful breakfasts at the buffet, including smoked salmon with dill sauce, croissants as good as I've had in Paris (with Nutella, yum), eggs, a variety of meats, roasted potatoes, skyr and yogurt, fruit juices including ginger shots (try one!), fresh coffee with warm milk, and a wide variety of fresh fruits.
Our room was super comfortable, well-heated with firm beds, a desk, plenty of luggage and clothing storage, a safe, and Nespresso machine. The staff even projected my name on the television screen - nice welcome.
The bathroom had a roomy walk-in shower, high-quality shampoo, conditioner, soap and body lotion.
On top of all that, the staff were extremely pleasant and helpful; they called our tour operators to verify times and pick-up spots. If you do an Icelandic package, your bus stop will be number 6, just a five-minute walk from the hotel. Downtown is one block the other way, loaded with restaurants, bars and classy gift shops.
Even though we didn't catch the Northern Lights, we really enjoyed our stay.
