Fint och fräscht hotell med gratis parkering och god frukost

Pros:

The view of the river was nice and it is a good location.

Cons:

Shower was broken, and beds were not comfortable. The breakfast was not worth the money compared to any hotel breakfast I've had in Iceland or Europe. Eggs were cold and hard.

Pros:

La camera era molto spaziosa, con all'interno due letti matrimoniali in cui siamo potuti stare comodi in 4 (con figli soprai 10 anni). Dotata di televisione anche se non smart tv, quindi inutile per chi non capisce l'islandese. Colazione ottima e abbondante, Struttura elegante, pulita e ordinata

Cons:

Aggiornerei la tv con una di nuova generazione che permetta, per esempio, di proiettare il proprio smartphone per far vedere i cartoni ai ragazzi la sera

es könnte leiser sein
Pros:

Stylisch und modern, nettes Personal am Empfang (man muss es nur herbeiklingeln). Parkplätze kostenlos nachdem man eingecheckt hat. Zentral gelegen. Große Dusche mit Bewegungsfreiheit. Hervorragendes Frühstück, das leider nicht im Zimmerpreis dabei war. Es hat aber niemand kontrolliert und ich hätte das Hotel auch ohne dafür zu zahlen verlassen können wenn ich nicht so eine ehrlich Haut wäre.

Cons:

Balkon sieht noch nach Rohbau aus. Zentrale Lage bedeutet leider auch in der Zange von 2 Hauptstraßen. Ich fand der Lärm von der Straße schon sehr extrem laut am Nachmittag und Abend, die Nacht wenn kein Auto mehr fuhr war ruhig, aber in der Ortschaft gibt es mindestens ein Verrückten der seinen getunten 8 Zylinder für mindestens 2 Stunden die Straßen rauf und runter fährt.
An einem Abend war zusätzlich noch eine Veranstaltung im Hotel, von der bis spät Musik zu hören war. Möchte gar nicht wissen wie das in den 3 Stockwerken unter mir zu hören war.
