Pros:

Sehr freundliches, mehrsprachiges Personal, saubere Zimmer, geräumig und ordentlich.
Europäisches Frühstücksbuffet mit frischem Obst und Gemüse als auch Marmelade und Käse zum Brot-/Brötchenangebot
Mit kleinem Kaffeautomaten

An sich schönes, gemütliches, gut organisiertes Spa. Es gibt zwar nur 4 Ruhesitze, was aber vermutlich damit zusammenhängt, dass die Besucherzahl durch vorherige Zeitslotbuchung entsprechend gering gehalten wird.

Cons:

Das laute Schlürfen im Spa, wenn Wasser in den Überfluss kommt, hat mich ziemlich gestresst
Ich habe die Sauna leider nicht genutzt weil ich mir nicht sicher war, ob ich mit Bikini rein muss.
Evtl kann man hier noch besser über Schilder kommunizieren. Auch für den schwer bedienbaren Toilettenknopf, falls er noch nicht repariert wurde

Pros:

Отель расположен не в центре города.Пешком далековато.,Но если вы на машине этот не проблема.Плюс бесплатная парковка рядом с отелем.Недалеко супермаркет и ресторан индийской кухни.Хотя наш совет,апартаменты с кухней будут предпочтительней.В магазинах огромный выбор стейков и рыбы.Готовьте сами ,цены в ресторанах кусаются.Персонал очень отзывчивый и на ресепшене и в баре.Ресторан и спа не посещали.
Заправляйтесь и закупайтесь едой в Рейкьявике,особенно если едите в северном направлении.По дороге на Вик с эти проблем нет.

Cons:

Немного тесноват санузел.Но это вообще не критично.

Práctico y confortable.
Pros:

En general nos pareció todo muy bien. El equipo de recepción muy agradable y solícito, así como el personal de limpieza. Las habitaciones están bien equipadas (tienen nevera!, algo raro ya, hoy en día), limpias y confortables. El gimnasio, aunque básico, está bien equipado, limpio y ordenado, lo cual viene muy bien para esos días de lluvia en los que nos puedes hacer mucho fuera. La comida del restaurante muy buena, la verdad, y tienen buena amplitud horaria.
La localización, para nosotros, fue buena, conectado del centro con diferentes autobuses y buen espacio de aparcamiento fuera.

Cons:

Supongo que no será en todas las habitaciones, pero en la nuestra, aunque el baño estaba bien, ya tenía necesidad de actualización pues se veía viejo y gastado, aunque estaba limpio. Y por poner otro pero, se echaba en falta una zona para poder trabajar, pues solo estaba el zaguán, que era un tanto ruidoso, por ser zona de paso.
