Very comfortable hotel, overall liked my stay there very much
Pros:

This hotel was literally perfect. The food at breakfast was fresh, healthy and deliсious. The staff was very nice (extra grateful to Alla who checked us in, we felt very welcome), and housekeepers did amazing job maintaining the perfect cleanliness of the room during our whole stay. The quality of cleaning was literally flawless, we've never witnessed it in any other hotel. The location of the hotel is super convenient and the room was nicely furnitured, so there was plenty of space for all the luggage. Overall, 10/10 can recommend :)

提前四个月预订，价格比提前几天预订贵，这种销售策略实在离谱。
Pros:

24小时前台。

Cons:

热水有臭鸡蛋味，淋浴的水龙头设计得很差，手上有沐浴露时拧不动龙头。

zufrieden
Pros:

Sauberes und ruhiges Hotel mit sehr freundlichen Personal. Das Frühstück bietet eine gute Auswahl und umfasst alles Wichtige. Die Ausstattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Insgesamt gut, aber für das Gebotene etwas teuer. Was noch positiv erwähnt werden muss, die Lage zum Zentrum und es stehen ausreichend Parkplätze vor dem Hotel zur Verfügung( ohne Gebühr).

Cons:

Die Bäder könnten renoviert werden.

Trevligt hotell
Pros:

Mycket bra frukost med både varma och kalla alternativ. Stort rum med bra avlastningsplats, garderob och safetybox. Gratis parkering precis vid gatan. Golvvärme i badrummet. Vattenkokare samt te och kaffe på rummet.

Cons:

Önskan om en liten kyl på rummet som det tidigare verkar ha varit men nu var utrymmet tomt. Uppdatering med nya madrasser, nu lite för mjuka samt dålig fjädring så det upplevdes som att det lutade.

Ampia camera in pieno centro città
Pros:

Camera molto ampia e pulita, letto comodi, personale cortese. A 10 minuti a piedi dal centro pedonale della città. Prezzi in linea con gli standard islandesi. Peccato essersi fermati solo una notte

Cons:

Nulla

Quite good value for money and comfortable
Pros:

The staff were very helpful and the rooms were comfortable. Breakfast (paid) was excellent. There are shops and restaurants nearby. It is close to the buses that go both downtown and to the airport..

Cons:

We stayed twice and had different rooms, the second of which was quite compact. The hotel is about 25 min walk from downtown and the harbour, which is where the boat trips leave from.
