Pros:

Das Hotel ist zwar schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber es war sauber, super zentral gelegen, es gibt mit Glück kostenlose Parkplätze und das Frühstück ist tiptop! Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Für ein paar Tage Aufenthalt in Reykjavik absolut zu empfehlen!

Very pleasant stay
Pros:

The staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. The room was basic but comfortable, and very reasonable for the price.

Pros:

Albergo situato in centro a Reykjavík con parcheggio comodo e gratuito proprio di fronte all'hotel. Stanze essenziali ma confortevoli, molto buona la colazione. Posizione eccellente per visitare la città a pochi passi trovate di tutto. Lo staff è di una cordialità difficile da trovare, l'accoglienza è stata eccellente, Kristjan ci ha fatto sentire a casa e assistito con una professionalità rara. Non vediamo l'ora di tornarci! Consigliatissimo!

Cons:

niente

Pros:

Buona colazione abbondante
Presente sia il dolce che il salato, frutta, frutta secca, yoghurt e marmellate, succhi e bevande calde.
Varietà non esagerata, nello standard di un hotel 3 stelle internazionale.
Letto molto comodo

Cons:

Sono stato solo una notte, non ho avuto tempo di trovare grossi difetti ma se devo trovarne uno sarebbe l'assenza dell'aria condizionata. Un giorno in aprile era molto caldo (si fa per dire 13°) ed il finestrone si era molto scaldato durante il giorno trasferendo questo calore dentro la stanza che avendo solo una piccola finestrina e nessun condizionatore risultava poco confortevole. Poi il sole è sceso (lentamente) e la temperatura notturna è stata perfetta. Ma d'estate questo potrebbe essere un problema
