Reykjavik Konsulat Hotel Curio Collection by Hilto

"We enjoyed our stay at the Konsulate Hotel. It's a quaint boutique hotel with a weird shaped building, adding uniqueness to the rooms. The hotel is very clean. The staff were super friendly and very helpful. The breakfast buffet was good but small, still enough to fill you up. The wine room in the lobby had happy hour from 3-6pm daily. Other than breakfast, food was limited so it was best to eat elsewhere. Housekeeping was great and the room was quiet. The hand soap and shampoo had such a lovely scent! Would stay here again."

"We were here pre-cruise for a couple of days. It is a very nice boutique hotel in the middle of everything, including Harpa Music Hall, and right next door to a famous hot dog stand (which was quite good). Snaedis, at the front desk, was very pleasant and professional, and was able to accommodate our few requests, such as early arrival and late checkout. She also acknowledged our Hilton gold status. Breakfast was very comprehensive to start our journey for the day, and the evening glass of wine was perfect for relaxing. The only issue we had was sleep on the 1st night, as the room was warm and stuffy, and if we opened the window for airflow, the noise from the street revelers was loud. This was resolved the 2nd night with the use of 2 fans. Thanks for a great stay!"

"This was our first trip to Iceland and we loved Reykjavik. The town is like a movie set., beautiful and clean. This hotel is a charming boutique hotel in a fantastic location. As a diamond for life with Hilton we were lucky enough to be upgraded to a big room on the 4th floor. Both the room and the hotel are just charming and so romantic. The shower was huge it could fit 5 people! Everything including the AC worked great and the black out curtains were a big plus although we thought having to pull the huge curtains to close was weird since they appeared to be on a track that we thought was electric. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast buffet is great. In addition to sparkling wine there was different types of beetroot energy shooters to choose from plus a drink the Icelandairs drink but it is really just cod liver oil (yuck). The gentleman working the breakfast was stern looking but efficient and sweet in conversation. Snaedis at the front desk was excellent. She helped secure our bus ride back to the airport. If this is your first time to Reykjavik be prepared to be shocked by the prices. A 12 inch Subway sub is $24. There is a famous hot dog stand right outside the hotel (exit at the bar). We didn't try them but we heard it was the sauces that everyone loves. Be aware the hotel does not have a restaurant onsite so other than breakfast food is limited. Also there is no name on the hotel so if you arrive at night good luck finding the hotel, study the pictures online so you can recognize the curved building. We arrived at night and had to take the Flybus from the airport to the hotel. We were told the taxi fare one way from the airport was at least $150 or more so like most people we choose the Flybus. The Flybus does not take you to the hotel but it drops you off at the main bus station and then puts you on another bus to a stop near your hotel. Bus stop #3 is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. Use your GPS or look at a map before you arrive and you will see it isn't hard to find the hotels general location but they really need to put the name on the side of the building. If you buy a roundtrip bus ticket it runs around $75 each and you must arrange your return date and time so the bus driver has your information. Snaedis at the front desk made the return arrangements which was very helpful. Allow plenty of time since the airport is in Timbuktu. It's not their fault us Americans built the airport in WWII and gave it to the people of Iceland after the war. It is about an hour from Reykjavik. The bus ride is a great way to see the town. Enjoy."
