I would recommend
Pros:

Alla who was at the reception was amazing and very helpful!! Breakfast was ok and the room was quite clean with a very comfortable bed.

Cons:

There was a bit of a strange smell due to the hot water coming from thermals but it wasn't a big issue as the bath was very good.

Pros:

Chiar în Centru. Parcarea e cu plata, dar pe strada e gratuit și era locuri libere în preajmă. Mic dejun foarte bun.

コスパに優れる
Pros:

飛行機がついた時間が早かったので、あらかじめearly check-inをお願いしたら、快く了承してくれたことと
結果論だが、何気に値段に対しての立地が良かった。スタバやレストラン、土産屋があるLaugavegur通りにも近かったのが良かった
BOUNSというスーパマケットも歩いていけます
ノーザンライトツアーや他のツアーの出発点にも近いです（BusStop#13. Or #12)

Cons:

物価の高いアイスランドでこの立地でこの値段だったら文句はありません

Wonderful staff, always greeted you with a smile and were so kind and friendly, amazing room and amazing food, great loc
Pros:

The staff were just so kind, we got upgraded to an amazing room so definitely would be worth paying that bit extra for a nice room, breakfast was amazing, free parking just across the street, we always managed to find a space and squeeze in and car was fine felt safe

Cons:

Bed was a little uncomfy and the warm water in the shower smelt like that eggy sulfur smell but nothing can be done about that but everything else made up for it

Localização boa, mas se você for em casal e quiser uma cama de casal, exija isso e tenha por escrito
Pros:

Localização

Cons:

Pedi uma cama de casal e eles nos deram um quarto com camas de solteiro. Fui na recepção pedir para trocar de quarto, pois havia solicitado na reserva, me informaram que não tinham mais quarto de casal disponível e que era “simplesmente eu juntar as camas”.
Nós mesmos tivemos que juntar sozinhos as camas e mover o quarto todo. Agora a pior parte é que as camas tinham rodinhas e não ficavam paradas uma ao lado da outra. Quase cai da cama diversas vezes.
