When I booked this trip I went back and forth looking at different hotels and I finally selected the King Deluxe room at the Reykjavik Konsulat. Well, I was not disappointed by this selection. This was a very well appointed room with lot of space, great lighting and storage. The king sized bed was very comfortable and I loved the bedding. There was a small couch at foot of the bed which was great to watch tv or put on your shoes. The bathroom was very well appointed with a massive shower with both a rain shower head and a handheld unit. The expresso machine got quite the workout as well.
I was also fortunate to have a small balcony (see pics) that was not advertised as they said they cannot guarantee a room with one.
Location: this hotel is in the heart of city center. You can walk quickly to so many places - it's about 5 minutes to the scenic waterfront walk. There are so many good places to eat and drink within a few minutes walk. The "penis museum" is right next door also and I'll be reviewing that as well.
I had a few minor suggestions for the hotel and included them in the survey they sent me. Well 15 minutes after I submitted the survey I received a personal e-mail from the hotel manager thanking me and saying they will review everything I suggested - you don't get that type of service many places these days.
Lastly, I want to thank Margarita who checked me in and helped on a few occasions....service that was above and beyond!
